Acts 28:3-5

3But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out 1because of the heat and fastened itself on his hand.

4When 2the 3natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they began saying to one another, “4Undoubtedly this man is a murderer, and though he has been saved from the sea, 5justice has not allowed him to live.”

5However 6he shook the creature off into the fire and suffered no harm.
