VERSE (12) - Ac 5:15 2Ki 4:29-31; 13:20,21

SEV Biblia, Chapter 19:12

de tal manera que aun se llevaban sobre los enfermos los sudarios y los pauelos de su cuerpo, y las enfermedades se iban de ellos, y los malos espíritus salían de ellos.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Acts 19:12

Verse 12. Handkerchiefs or aprons] soudaria h simikinqia, Probably the sudaria were a sort of handkerchiefs, which, in travelling, were always carried in the hand, for the convenience of wiping the face; and the simikinthia were either the sashes or girdles that went about the loins. These, borrowed from the apostle, and applied to the bodies of the diseased, became the means, in the hand of God, of their restoration to health.

The diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.] Here, there is a most evident distinction made between the diseases and the evil spirits: hence they were not one and the same thing.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 12. So that from his body were brought unto the sick , etc.] The Ethiopic version renders it, from the extremity, or border of his garment; and the Syriac version, from the garments which were upon his body; were brought and put upon the sick; that is, of the clothes which the apostle wore, some of them were taken and carried to sick persons, and used by them: particularly handkerchiefs or aprons; the former were such as he might use to wipe his face with, and remove sweat, or any filth from the body; and the latter, what he might wear as a mechanic, when working at his trade: and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them ; who were afflicted and possessed with them; these were some of the special and uncommon miracles wrought by the hands of the apostle, and which were wrought in an uncommon way; and which most clearly showed that they were wrought by a divine power.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 8-12 - When arguments and persuasions only harden men in unbelief an blasphemy, we must separate ourselves and others from such unhol company. God was pleased to confirm the teaching of these holy men of old, that if their hearers believed them not, they might believe the works.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

12. Body (crwtov). Properly, the surface of the body, the skin; but, in medical language, of the body.

Handkerchiefs (soudaria). See on Luke xix. 20.

Aprons (simikinqia). Only here in New Testament. A Latin word, semicinctia. Lit., something passing half-way round the body: an apron or waistband. Perhaps garments worn by Paul when engaged at his trade.

Robertson's NT Word Studies

19:12 {Handkerchiefs} (soudaria). Latin word for sudor (sweat). Used in #Lu 19:20; Joh 11:44; 20:7. In two papyri marriage-contracts this word occurs among the toilet articles in the dowry (Deissmann, _Bible Studies_, p. 223). {Aprons} (simikinqia). Latin word also, _semicinctilum_ (semi, cingo). Only here in the N.T. Linen aprons used by servants or artisans (Martial XIV. 153). Paul did manual work at Ephesus (#20:34) and so wore these aprons. {Departed} (apallalseqai). Present passive infinitive with hwste for actual result as in verse #10. If one wonders how God could honor such superstitious faith, he should remember that there is no power in superstition or in magic, but in God. If God never honored any faith save that entirely free from superstition, how about Christian people who are troubled over the number 13, over the moon, the rabbit's foot? The poor woman with an issue of blood touched the hem of Christ's garment and was healed (#Lu 8:44-46) as others sought to do (#Mt 14:36). God condescends to meet us in our ignorance and weakness where he can reach us. Elisha had a notion that some of the power of Elijah resided in his mantle (#2Ki 2:13). Some even sought help from Peter's shadow (#Ac 5:15).
