Acts 28:4-6
Worldwide English (New Testament)
4 The people of Malta saw the snake hanging on his hand. `Oh,' they said to each other. `This man has no doubt killed someone. He did not die in the water, but it is not right for him to live.'
5 Paul shook the snake off into the fire. It did not hurt him.
6 The people thought surely he would swell up or would drop down dead at once. They waited a long time and saw that nothing bad happened to him. Then they said, `We were wrong. He must be a god.'
