ISB ~ Acts 19 v11

extraordinary miracles:Divine power flowed so powerfully through Paul that even his work clothes were used to drive away demons and diseases. He wore the “handkerchiefs” around his head, and the “aprons” he tied around his waist (19:12).

• According to Catholic tradition, the bodies of the saints and even their belongings can occasion great miracles in the presence of faith. This perspective on the efficacy of holy relics is corroborated by other biblical passages (2 Kings 13:21; Mt 14:36; Mk 5:27-30). See note on Acts 5:15.
