Acts 28:1 In-Context

1 After our escape, we learned that the island was called Malta.
2 Its people showed extraordinary kindness - it was cold and it had started to rain, so they lit a bonfire and welcomed us all.
3 Sha'ul had gathered a bundle of sticks and was adding them to the fire, when a poisonous snake, driven out by the heat, fastened itself to his hand.
4 The islanders saw the creature hanging from Sha'ul's hand and said to one another, "This man must be a murderer. Even though he escaped the sea, justice has not allowed him to live."
5 But he shook the snake off into the fire and suffered no harm.
