Charles Ellicott Commentary Acts 28:9

"And when this was done, the rest also that had diseases in the island came, and were cured:" — Acts 28:9 (ASV)

Others also, which had diseases.—More accurately, the others who had infirmities. The Greek gives the article, and states the fact that there was something like a rush, continuing for some length of time, of all the sick people in the island to profit by the Apostle’s power of healing. On the difference between the terms used for diseases, see Note on Matthew 4:23.
