Acts 28:4-6

New American Standard Bible

⁴ When ^(A)the ^[a]natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they began saying to one another, “^(B)Undoubtedly this man is a murderer, and though he has been saved from the sea, ^[b]justice has not allowed him to live.” ⁵ However, ^[c](C)Paul shook the creature off into the fire and suffered no harm. ⁶ Now they were expecting that he was going to swell up or suddenly fall down dead. But after they had waited a long time and had seen nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and ^(D)began to say that he was a god.
