You can use the sh command to run it. using the option -v will show the line its executing, before it executes. There are more options, I thought there was the -i which did the same. See "man sh"

# more ./shelltest.sh
#/bin/sh
echo line 1
echo line 2
echo .
# sh -v ./shelltest.sh
#/bin/sh
echo line 1
line 1
echo line 2
line 2
echo .
.
#
