Acts 28:1-4

Paul on Malta

¹ After we were brought safely through, _l we then learned that _m the island was called Malta. ² _n The native people ₁ showed us unusual _o kindness, for they kindled a fire and welcomed us all, because it had begun to rain and was cold. ³ When Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and put them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened on his hand. ⁴ When _p the native people saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, _q "No doubt this man is a murderer. Though he has escaped from the sea, _r Justice ₂ has not allowed him to live."
