Acts 28:1-10

1And when we got safe [to land] we then knewG1921 that the islandG3520 was calledG2564 Melita.

2But the barbarians shewed us no common kindness; for, having kindled a fireG4443, they took us all in because of the rainG5205 that was falling and because of the coldG5592.

3And PaulG3972 having gathered a [certainG5100] quantity of sticks together in a bundle and laidG2007 [it] on the fireG4443, a viperG2191 comingG1831 out from the heat seized his handG5495.

4And whenG5613 the barbarians sawG3708 the beastG2342 hangingG2910 from his handG5495, they saidG3004 to oneG240 another, This manG444 isG1510 certainly a murdererG5406, whom, [though] savedG1295 out of the seaG2281, Nemesis has not allowedG1439 to liveG2198.

5He however, having shaken off the beastG2342 into the fireG4442, felt no harmG2556.

6But they expected that he would have swollen or fallen downG2667 suddenlyG869 deadG3498. But when they had expected a long time and sawG2334 nothingG3367 unusual happenG1096 to him, changing their opinion, they saidG3004 he wasG1510 a 1godG2316.

7NowG1161 in the country surrounding that placeG5117 were the landsG5564 belonging to the chief man of the islandG3520, by nameG3686 PubliusG4196, who received us and gave [us] hospitality threeG5140 daysG2250 in a veryG1565 friendly way.

8And it happenedG1096 that the fatherG3962 of PubliusG4196 lay ill of feverG4446 and dysentery; to whom PaulG3972 enteredG1525 in, and having prayedG4336 and laidG2007 his handsG5495 on him cured him.

9But this having taken placeG1096, the restG3062 alsoG2532 who had sicknessesG769 in the islandG3520 cameG4334 and were healedG2323:

10who alsoG2532 honoured us with manyG4183 honours, and on our leaving they made presents to us of what should minister to our wants.
