Acts 28:2-4

Revised Geneva Translation

² And the people of the country showed us no little kindness. For they kindled a fire and welcomed all of us, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.

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

⁴ Now when the locals saw the wild beast hanging on his hand, they said among themselves, “This man is surely a murderer. For though he has escaped the sea, vengeance has still not allowed to live.”
