People's Commentary (NT)
Acts 28:4-6 The [venomous] beast. It is said that there are now no venomous serpents in Malta, but this is due to the enormous increase of the population and their extinction. The same fact has occurred in many places. This man is a murderer. The people pronounced it a judgment. Though he had escaped the sea, divine justice would not let him escape. They waited to see his hand swell, and him to fall dead, but when he shook it off in the fire and experienced no harm they changed their minds and in their superstition called him "a god" (Acts 28:6). We are hear reminded of the sudden revulsion of feeling among the Lycaonians (Acts 14:18).
