Acts 28:1-3

GOD’S WORD Translation

Paul on the Island of Malta

28 When we were safely on shore, we found out that the island was called Malta. ² The people who lived on the island were unusually kind to us. They made a fire and welcomed all of us around it because of the rain and the cold.

³ Paul gathered a bundle of brushwood and put it on the fire. The heat forced a poisonous snake out of the brushwood. The snake bit Paul’s hand and wouldn’t let go.
