Acts 28:1-3

Good News Translation

In Malta

28 When we were safely ashore, we learned that the island was called Malta. ² The natives there were very friendly to us. It had started to rain and was cold, so they built a fire and made us all welcome. ³ Paul gathered up a bundle of sticks and was putting them on the fire when a snake came out on account of the heat and fastened itself to his hand.
