Acts 28:6 in Context — Acts 28
4 Quand les barbares virent l’animal suspendu à sa main, ils se dirent les uns aux autres: Assurément cet homme est un meurtrier, puisque la Justice n’a pas voulu le laisser vivre, après qu’il a été sauvé de la mer.
5 Paul secoua l’animal dans le feu, et ne ressentit aucun mal.
6 Ces gens s’attendaient à le voir enfler ou tomber mort subitement; mais, après avoir longtemps attendu, voyant qu’il ne lui arrivait aucun mal, ils changèrent d’avis et dirent que c’était un dieu.
7 Il y avait, dans les environs, des terres appartenant au principal personnage de l’île, nommé Publius, qui nous reçut et nous logea pendant trois jours de la manière la plus amicale.
8 Le père de Publius était alors au lit, malade de la fièvre et de la dysenterie; Paul, s’étant rendu vers lui, pria, lui imposa les mains, et le guérit.
