Acts 28:7
“In the same quarters were possessions of the chief man of the island, whose name was Publius; who received us, and lodged us three days courteously.”
And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.

In the same quarters were possessions of the chief man of the island, whose name was Publius; who received us, and lodged us three days courteously.

So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the island, came, and were healed:
