Acts 28:9

28:9 After this had happened, many of the people on the island who were sick ¹  also came and were healed. ² 

Acts 28:11

Paul Finally Reaches Rome

28:11 After three months we put out to sea ³  in an Alexandrian ship that had wintered at the island and had the “Heavenly Twins” ⁴  as its figurehead. ⁵ 

[28:9]  ¹ tn BDAG 142 s.v. ἀσθένεια 1 states, “ἔχειν ἀ. be ill Ac 28:9.”

[28:9]  ² sn Many…also came and were healed. Again, here is irony. Paul, though imprisoned, “frees” others of their diseases.

[28:11]  ³ tn BDAG 62 s.v. ἀνάγω 4, “as a nautical t.t. (ἀ. τὴν ναῦν put a ship to sea), mid. or pass. ἀνάγεσθαι to begin to go by boat, put out to sea.”

[28:11]  ⁴ tn Or “the ‘Twin Gods’”; Grk “the Dioscuri” (a joint name for the pagan deities Castor and Pollux).

[28:11]  ⁵ tn Or “as its emblem.”
