Atti 28:5 In-Context

3 Or Paolo, avendo adunata una quantità di sermenti, e postala in sul fuoco, una vipera uscì fuori per lo caldo, e gli si avventò alla mano.
4 E, quando i Barbari videro la bestia che gli pendeva dalla mano, dissero gli uni agli altri: Quest’uomo del tutto è micidiale, poichè essendo scampato dal mare, pur la vendetta divina non lo lascia vivere.
5 Ma Paolo, scossa la bestia nel fuoco, non ne sofferse male alcuno.
6 Or essi aspettavano ch’egli enfierebbe, o caderebbe di subito morto; ma, poichè ebbero lungamente aspettato, ed ebber veduto che non gliene avveniva alcuno inconveniente, mutarono parere, e dissero ch’egli era un dio.
7 Or il principale dell’isola, chiamato per nome Publio, avea le sue possessioni in que’ contorni; ed esso ci accolse, e ci albergò tre giorni amichevolmente.
