Acts 28:1-3

Amplified Bible

Safe at Malta

28 After we were safe [on land], we found out that the island was called ^[a]Malta. ² And the ^[b]natives showed us extraordinary kindness and hospitality; for they kindled a fire and welcomed us all, since it had begun to rain and was cold. ³ But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a ^[c]viper crawled out because of the heat and fastened itself on his hand.
