Context — Ashore on Malta

8The father of Publius was sick in bed, suffering from fever and dysentery. Paul went in to see him, and after praying and placing his hands on him, he healed the man. 9After this had happened, the rest of the sick on the island came and were cured as well.

10The islanders honored us in many ways and supplied our needs when we were ready to sail.

11After three months we set sail in an Alexandrian ship that had wintered in the island. It had the Twin Brothers as a figurehead. 12Putting in at Syracuse, we stayed there three days.

Acts 28:10 Summary

[Acts 28:10 shows that when people experience God's love and care, they often want to give back and show gratitude, just like the islanders who honored Paul and his companions. This verse reminds us that God's love can lead to positive and uplifting relationships with others, as seen in John 13:35. The islanders' actions also demonstrate the importance of community and supporting one another, as encouraged in Galatians 6:2. By showing kindness and generosity to others, we can reflect God's love and care, just as Paul did on the island.]

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the significance of the islanders honoring Paul and his companions in Acts 28:10?

The islanders' actions demonstrate the impact of Paul's ministry and the power of God's love, as seen in Acts 28:8-9 where Paul healed the father of Publius and others on the island, showing that God's love and care can lead to gratitude and respect from those who experience it, much like in Luke 17:16 where the one leper returned to thank Jesus.

How did the islanders supply Paul's needs as mentioned in Acts 28:10?

Although the Bible does not provide specific details, it is likely that the islanders provided Paul and his companions with food, water, and other necessities for their journey, similar to how the early church shared their resources in Acts 2:45, demonstrating the importance of community and support for those in need.

What can we learn from the islanders' response to Paul's ministry in Acts 28:10?

The islanders' response shows that when people experience God's love and care, they are often moved to gratitude and a desire to give back, as seen in 2 Corinthians 9:6-7, where Paul encourages believers to give generously and cheerfully, knowing that God loves a cheerful giver.

How does Acts 28:10 relate to the broader theme of Paul's missionary journeys?

Acts 28:10 highlights the positive reception Paul and his companions received on the island, which contrasts with the persecution and opposition they faced in other places, such as in Acts 14:19 and 2 Corinthians 11:25, demonstrating that God's work is not limited by human opposition, but can thrive even in challenging circumstances, as seen in Philippians 1:12-14.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Acts 28:10

Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we departed, they laded us with such things as were necessary. Who also honoured us with many honours , [timais ] - 'presents,' tokens of gratitude and regard.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Acts 28:10

They who were cured, rewarded or presented the apostle and his company very liberally. And this was the effect of that inward respect and real esteem they had for them; and was a fruit of their faith.

Trapp's Commentary on Acts 28:10

10 Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we departed, they laded us with such things as were necessary. Ver. 10. Who also honoured us] Perraro grati reperiuntur, saith Cicero. A thankful man is worth his weight in gold, saith Mr Ward. The Italian hath a proverb, Seiapato il morbo, fraudato il santo; when the disease is departed, the saint is defrauded, viz. of the honour that was vowed to be done to him. Not so here.

Ellicott's Commentary on Acts 28:10

(10) Who also honoured us with many honours.—It lies in the nature of the case that the honours took the form of gifts. The very word was, indeed, specially applied, both in Greek and Latin, to the honorarium, or fee, paid to the physician, and its use here is accordingly characteristic of St. Luke’s calling. (Comp. Sir 38:1.) In addition to these gifts of courtesy, the things that were wanted for their voyage—clothing, provisions, and the like—were freely supplied at their departure. When we departed.—Better, as we were setting sail.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Acts 28:10

Verse 10. Honoured us with many honours] The word τιμη, as Bishop Pearce has remarked, is often used to signify a pecuniary recompense, or present. The Greek word seems to be thus used in 1 Timothy 5:17. Let the elders which rule well be accounted worthy of double HONOUR, τιμης, which St. Chrysostom, on the place, explains thus: τηντωναναγκαιωνχορηγιαν· a supplying them with all necessary things. Diodorus Siculus, and Xenophon, used the word in the same way. In the sense of a pecuniary recompense, or price, paid for any thing, the word τιμη is met with in 1 Corinthians 6:20; and 1 Corinthians 7:23. And in the Septuagint, Numbers 22:17; compared with Numbers 22:18; Psalms 8:5; and Psalms 49:12; Proverbs 3:9. Bp. Pearce. Such things as were necessary.] They had before given them many presents, and now they gave them a good sea stock; all that was necessary for their passage.

Barnes' Notes on Acts 28:10

Who also honoured us - As people who were favored by heaven, and who had been the means of conferring important benefits on them in healing the sick, etc.
