and was putting it on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened itself on his hand.
28:4 When the local people
saw the creature hanging from Paul’s
hand, they said to one another, “No doubt this man is a murderer! Although he has escaped from the sea, Justice herself
has not allowed him to live!”
28:5 However,
Paul
shook
the creature off into the fire and suffered no harm.

or suddenly drop dead. So after they had waited
a long time and had seen
nothing unusual happen
to him, they changed their minds
and said he was a god.
