Acts 28:1-10

1And when we were escaped, then we knewG1921 that the islandG3520 was calledG2564 Melita. 2And the barbarians showed us no common kindness: for they kindled a fireG4443, and receivedG4355 us all, because of the present rainG5205, and because of the coldG5592. 3But when PaulG3972 had gathered a bundle of sticks and laidG2007 them on the fireG4443, a viperG2191 cameG1831 out by reason of the heat, and fastened on his handG5495. 4And whenG5613 the barbarians sawG3708 the venomous creatureG2342 hangingG2910 from his handG5495, they saidG3004 oneG240 to another, No doubt this manG444 isG1510 a murdererG5406, whom, though he hath escaped from the seaG2281, yet Justice hath not suffered to liveG2198. 5Howbeit he shook off the creatureG2342 into the fireG4442, and took no harmG2556. 6But they expected that he would have swollen, or fallen downG2667 deadG3498 suddenlyG869: but when they wereG1510 long in expectation and beheld nothingG3367 amiss comeG1096 to him, they changed their minds, and saidG3004 that he wasG1510 a godG2316.

7NowG1161 in the neighborhood of that placeG5117 were landsG5564 belonging to the chief man of the islandG3520, namedG3686 PubliusG4196; who received us, and entertainedG3579 us threeG5140 daysG2250 courteously. 8And it was so, that the fatherG3962 of PubliusG4196 lay sick of feverG4446 and dysentery: unto whom PaulG3972 enteredG1525 in, and prayedG4336, and layingG2007 his handsG5495 on him healedG2390 him. 9And when this was done, the restG3062 alsoG2532 that had diseases in the islandG3520 cameG4334, and were cured: 10who alsoG2532 honoredG5091 us with manyG4183 honorsG5091; and when we sailed, they putG2007 on board such thingsG4183 as we neededG5532.
