Acts 28:4-6

Tree of Life Version

⁴ When the natives saw the snake hanging from his hand, they began saying to one another, “No doubt this man is a murderer! Though he has been saved from the sea, Justice^[a] has not allowed him to live.”

⁵ However, Paul shook the snake off into the fire and suffered no harm. ⁶ They were expecting him to swell up or suddenly fall down dead—but after they waited a long time and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds and began to say he was a god.
