On Malta: Paul shakes off the viper, and heals the father of Publius

멜리데에서 바울이 독사를 불에 떨어버리고 보블리오의 부친에게 안수하여 고침

Acts 28:1–10: the text says, “When we had escaped, then they learned that the island was called Malta. The natives showed us uncommon kindness; for they kindled a fire and received us all, because of the present rain and because of the cold.” When Paul has gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper comes out because of the heat and fastens on his hand. When the natives see the creature hanging from his hand, they say to one another, “No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped from the sea, yet Justice has not allowed to live.” However, Paul shakes off the creature into the fire and isn’t harmed. They expect that he will swell or fall down dead suddenly, but when they watch for a long time and see nothing bad happen to him, they change their minds and say that he is a god. “Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius, who received us and courteously entertained us for three days.” The father of Publius lies sick of fever and dysentery; Paul enters in to him, prays, and laying his hands on him, heals him. Then the rest also who have diseases in the island come and are cured. “They also honored us with many honors; and when we sailed, they put on board the things that we needed.”
