So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the island, came, and were healed:
Paul prayed for the sick father of Publius when healing him. After Publius's father was healed, the others on the island who had diseases came to Paul and were healed. That island was Malta, also called Melita. These healings took place during the stay of Paul and his fellow laborers at Melita, when they had many opportunities to preach the gospel. These miracles let the islanders witness God's power and helped spread the name of Jesus.
