And when this had taken place, the rest of the people on the island who had diseases also came and were cured.
What a great variety of places and circumstances do we find Paul in! He was a planet, and not a fixed star. Here we have him in an island to which, in all probability, he had never come if he had not been thrown upon it by a storm; and yet it seems God has work for him to do here.
Commenting on Acts 28:1-10
So when this was done,.... This miracle was wrought, and the fame of it spread over the island: others also which had diseases in the island came: from all parts of it, to the apostle: and were healed; of whatsoever diseases they were afflicted with.
this . . . done, others . . . came and were healed--"kept coming to [us] and getting healed," that is, during our stay, not all at once [WEBSTER and WILKINSON].
