On the Island of Malta
-
|Atos 28:1| When we came ashore, we learned that the island was called Malta.
-
|Atos 28:2| The local people were very friendly, and they welcomed us by building a fire, because it was rainy and cold.
-
|Atos 28:3| After Paul had gathered some wood and had put it on the fire, the heat caused a snake to crawl out, and it bit him on the hand.
-
|Atos 28:4| When the local people saw the snake hanging from Paul's hand, they said to each other, “This man must be a murderer! He didn't drown in the sea, but the goddess of justice will kill him anyway.”
-
|Atos 28:5| Paul shook the snake off into the fire and wasn't harmed.
-
|Atos 28:6| The people kept thinking that Paul would either swell up or suddenly drop dead. They watched him for a long time, and when nothing happened to him, they changed their minds and said, “This man is a god.”
-
|Atos 28:7| The governor of the island was named Publius, and he owned some of the land around there. Publius was very friendly and welcomed us into his home for three days.
-
|Atos 28:8| His father was in bed, sick with fever and stomach trouble, and Paul went to visit him. Paul healed the man by praying and placing his hands on him.
-
|Atos 28:9| After this happened, everyone on the island brought their sick people to Paul, and they were all healed.
-
|Atos 28:10| The people were very respectful to us, and when we sailed, they gave us everything we needed.
