they kindled a fire and took us all in, because of the present rain, and of the cold. <A name="4"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/28-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>And Paul having gathered together a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came out a viper from the heat, and fastened on his hand. <A name="5"></a><span class="reftext"><a

been saved from the sea, yet justice suffereth not to live. <A name="6"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/28-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>But he shook off the creature into the fire, and suffered no hurt. <A name="7"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/28-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>They however were expecting that he would swell, or suddenly fall down dead: but when they had waited a good while, and saw no hurt come to him, they changed <i>their opinion</i> and said that he was a god.<p> <A name="8"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/28-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>Now in the parts adjacent to <i>this</i> place was the seat of the chief <i>man</i> of the island, whose name was Publius, who took us into <i>his house,</i> and entertained us three days courteously. <A
