Acts 28:1-5
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 28
1
When they had been brought safely through, then we found out that the island was called Malta.
2
The natives showed us extraordinary kindness, for they kindled a fire and took us all in because of the rain that had started and because of the cold.
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 the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they
began
saying to one another, 'Undoubtedly this man is a murderer, and though he has been saved from the sea, justice has not allowed him to live.'
5
However, Paul shook the creature off into the fire and suffered no harm.
King James Version
Chapter 28
1
And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita.
2
And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.
3
And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand.
4
And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live.
5
And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 28
1
Once safely ashore, we then learned that the island was called Malta.
2
The local people showed us extraordinary kindness. They lit a fire and took us all in, since it was raining and cold.
3
As Paul gathered a bundle of brushwood and put it on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened itself on his hand.
4
When the local people saw the snake hanging from his hand, they said to one another, "This man, no doubt, is a murderer. Even though he has escaped the sea, Justice has not allowed him to live."
5
But he shook the snake off into the fire and suffered no harm.
New Living Translation
Chapter 28
1
Once we were safe on shore, we learned that we were on the island of Malta.
2
The people of the island were very kind to us. It was cold and rainy, so they built a fire on the shore to welcome us.
3
As Paul gathered an armful of sticks and was laying them on the fire, a poisonous snake, driven out by the heat, bit him on the hand.
4
The people of the island saw it hanging from his hand and said to each other, 'A murderer, no doubt! Though he escaped the sea, justice will not permit him to live.'
5
But Paul shook off the snake into the fire and was unharmed.
English Standard Version

The native people showed us unusual kindness, for they kindled a fire and welcomed us all, because it had begun to rain and was cold.

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.

3
Paul gathered a pile of brushwood and, as he put it on the fire, a viper, driven out by the heat, fastened itself on his hand.

When the islanders saw the snake hanging from his hand, they said to each other, "This man must be a murderer; for though he escaped from the sea, the goddess Justice has not allowed him to live."
5
But Paul shook the snake off into the fire and suffered no ill effects.

Chapter 28
1
Now when they had escaped, they then found out that the island was called Malta.
2
And the natives showed us unusual kindness; for they kindled a fire and made us all welcome, because of the rain that was falling and because of the cold.
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 on his hand.
4
So when the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped the sea, yet justice does not allow to live.”
5
But he shook off the creature into the fire and suffered no harm.
