Acts 28:2 - Forerunner Commentary

Acts 28:2

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.
