  • ACT 28:1–10, engwebp

    1When we had escaped, then they learned that the island was called Malta.

    2The natives showed us uncommon kindness; for they kindled a fire and received us all, because of the present rain and because of the cold.

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

    4When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said 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.”

    5However he shook off the creature into the fire, and wasn’t harmed.

    6But they expected that he would have swollen or fallen down dead suddenly, but when they watched for a long time and saw nothing bad happen to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.

    7Now 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.

    8The father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery. Paul entered in to him, prayed, and laying his hands on him, healed him.

    9Then when this was done, the rest also who had diseases in the island came and were cured.

    10They also honored us with many honors; and when we sailed, they put on board the things that we needed.
