Acts 28:7-10
7 In that region there was an estate of the leading citizen of the island, whose name was Publius, who received us and entertained us courteously for three days. 8 And it happened that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and dysentery. Paul went in to him and prayed, and he laid his hands on him and healed him. 9 So when this was done, the rest of those on the island who had diseases also came and were healed. 10 They also honored us in many ways; and when we departed, they provided such things as were necessary.
An important man lay sick on the island where Paul, the prisoners, and Roman soldiers were shipwrecked. When the man contracted dysentery, Paul prayed for him and God made him well - and then was used to make others well also. So Paul and his traveling band were held in honor until they were able to continue their journey toward Rome, and were given supplies for the trip. So we are to help others, asking nothing as we give of ourselves to minister to the needs. God gave up His honor and dignity to become a man and suffer for us, so how can we not serve as He showed us? Paul got this.
