1599 Geneva Bible
4 [a]Now when the Barbarians saw the worm hang on his hand, they said among themselves, This man surely is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet [b]Vengeance hath not suffered to live.
5 But he shook off the worm into the fire, and felt no harm.
6 Howbeit they waited when he should have [c]swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: [d]but after they had looked a great while, and saw no inconvenience come to him, they changed their minds, and said, That he was a God.
