Acts 28:2-4

Jubilee Bible 2000

² And the barbarous people showed us no little kindness; for they kindled a great fire and received all of us because of the present rain and because of the cold.

³ And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out of the heat and fastened on his hand.

⁴ And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped the sea, yet vengeance does not suffer him to live.
