Acts 28:3-5

American Standard Version

³ But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out ^[a]by reason of the heat, and fastened on his hand. ⁴ And when the barbarians saw the venomous creature hanging from his hand, they said one to another, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped from the sea, yet Justice hath not suffered to live. ⁵ Howbeit he shook off the creature into the fire, and took no harm.
