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 5:16

5:16 A crowd of people from the towns around Jerusalem ³  also came together, bringing the sick and those troubled by unclean spirits. ⁴  They ⁵  were all ⁶  being healed.

[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.

[5:16]  ⁴ sn Unclean spirits refers to evil spirits.

[5:16]  ⁵ tn Literally a relative pronoun, “who.” In English, however, a relative clause (“bringing the sick and those troubled by unclean spirits, who were all being healed”) could be understood to refer only to the second group (meaning only those troubled by unclean spirits were being healed) or even that the unclean spirits were being healed. To avoid this ambiguity the pronoun “they” was used to begin a new English sentence.

[5:16]  ⁶ sn They were all being healed. Note how the healings that the apostles provided were comprehensive in their consistency.
