ACTS 28:10 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we departed, they laded us with such things as were necessary.”
They honored us in many ways and when we were ready to sail, they furnished us with the supplies we needed. - The Maltese 'honored us in many ways' (timāō pollois, timāō pollois-'honored with many things'). 'When we were ready to sail' (anagkaios, anagkaios-'when departure was necessary'), they 'furnished us with the supplies we needed' (episkepsis, episkepsis-'provisions, supplies'). Their initial suspicion (he is a murderer!) becomes thanksgiving; their respect for Paul's healing power translates into material support. Malta's generosity becomes the mirror of Paul's earlier gift of faith to the 276 aboard the ship.
