After this had happened
This phrase sets the stage for the miraculous events that follow. It refers to the healing of Publius' father by Paul, which is described in the preceding verses. The Greek word for "happened" is "ginomai," which often implies a significant event or occurrence. In the context of Acts, it underscores the divine orchestration of events, suggesting that what transpired was not mere coincidence but part of God's sovereign plan. This moment serves as a catalyst for further miracles, demonstrating the power of God working through Paul.

the rest of the sick
The phrase "the rest of the sick" indicates that there were many others on the island of Malta who were suffering from various ailments. The Greek word for "sick" is "asthenēs," which can refer to physical weakness or illness. This highlights the widespread need for healing among the islanders and sets the stage for a broader demonstration of God's power. It also reflects the compassion of God, who is concerned with the physical and spiritual well-being of all people.

on the island
The mention of "the island" refers specifically to Malta, where Paul and his companions were shipwrecked. Historically, Malta was a place of refuge and safety for sailors, and its inhabitants were known for their hospitality. The island setting emphasizes the reach of the Gospel beyond the Jewish and Roman worlds, illustrating the universal nature of God's love and the spread of Christianity to the ends of the earth.

came
The word "came" suggests an active response from the islanders. The Greek word "erchomai" implies movement towards a destination or person. In this context, it signifies the faith and hope of the sick individuals who sought out Paul after hearing of the miraculous healing of Publius' father. Their coming to Paul is an act of faith, demonstrating their belief in the power of God to heal.

and were cured
The phrase "were cured" is a testament to the miraculous power of God working through Paul. The Greek word "therapeuō" means to heal or restore to health. This not only refers to physical healing but also points to the spiritual restoration that accompanies the acceptance of the Gospel. The healing of the sick on Malta serves as a powerful witness to the truth of the Christian message and the authority of Jesus Christ, through whom all healing ultimately comes. It also reflects the fulfillment of Jesus' promise that His followers would perform miracles in His name, as seen in Mark 16:17-18.

(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.
