Paul’s Ministry on Malta

1 Now when they had escaped, they then found out that athe island was called Malta.  
2 And the anatives 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 asuffered no harm.  
6 However, they were expecting that he would swell up or suddenly fall down dead. But after they had looked for a long time and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds and asaid that he was a god.  
7 In that region there was an estate of the1 leading citizen of the island, whose name was Publius, who received us and entertained us courteously for three days.  
8 And it happened that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and dysentery. Paul went in to him and aprayed, and bhe laid his hands on him and healed him.
