Acts 28:3-5

3 But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened itself on his hand.
4 When 1the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they began saying to one another, "2Undoubtedly this man is a murderer, and though he has been saved from the sea, justice has not allowed him to live."
5 However * 3he shook the creature off into the fire and suffered no harm.
