After this had happened
This phrase refers to the events immediately preceding, where Paul healed the father of Publius, the chief official of Malta. This miraculous healing demonstrated the power of God working through Paul, establishing his credibility and opening the door for further ministry. It highlights the continuation of the apostolic signs and wonders that accompanied the early church, as seen throughout the Book of Acts.

the rest of the sick on the island
The island of Malta, located in the Mediterranean Sea, was a key location for trade and travel. The mention of "the rest of the sick" suggests that there were many others suffering from various ailments. This reflects the common health challenges of the time, where medical knowledge was limited, and people often relied on traditional remedies or divine intervention for healing.

came and were cured
The act of coming to Paul indicates faith or hope in the healing power that had been demonstrated. The word "cured" implies complete healing, showcasing the divine power at work through Paul. This mirrors the healing ministry of Jesus, who healed all who came to Him, as seen in passages like Matthew 8:16-17. It also fulfills the promise of Mark 16:17-18, where signs would accompany those who believe.

as well
This phrase emphasizes the inclusivity of God's healing power, extending beyond the initial miracle to all who sought it. It underscores the theme of God's grace and mercy being available to all, not limited by nationality or status. This aligns with the broader narrative of Acts, where the gospel and its accompanying signs are extended to Gentiles, fulfilling the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19-20.

Teaching Points
The Power of Faith and Prayer
Paul's healing of the sick on Malta demonstrates the power of faith and prayer. Believers are encouraged to trust in God's ability to heal and to pray for those who are sick.

God's Compassion for All
The healing of the islanders shows God's compassion and care for all people, regardless of their background or location. Christians are called to show the same compassion to those around them.

The Continuation of Jesus' Ministry
The miracles performed by Paul are a continuation of Jesus' healing ministry, reminding believers that they are called to be His hands and feet in the world today.

The Role of Witness in Healing
The healing acts served as a powerful witness to the people of Malta, opening doors for the Gospel. Christians should see acts of service and compassion as opportunities to share their faith.

God's Sovereignty in Difficult Circumstances
Despite being shipwrecked, Paul continued to serve and minister, showing that God can use any situation for His glory and purposes.(9) Others also, which had diseases.--More accurately, the others who had infirmities. The Greek gives the article, and states the fact that there was something like a rush, continuing for some length of time, of all the sick people in the island to profit by the Apostle's power of healing. On the difference between the terms used for diseases, see Note on Matthew 4:23.

Verse 9. - And for so, A.V. and T.R.; the rest for others, A.V.; cured for healed, A.V.
