Acts 28:4-6

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁴ When the people who lived on the island saw the snake hanging from his hand, they said to each other, “This man must be a murderer! He may have escaped from the sea, but justice won’t let him live.”

⁵ Paul shook the snake into the fire and wasn’t harmed. ⁶ The people were waiting for him to swell up or suddenly drop dead. But after they had waited a long time and saw nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and said he was a god.
