Acts 28:2-4

New American Standard Bible 1995

^2 (A)The ^[a]natives showed us extraordinary kindness; for because of the rain that had set in and because of the cold, they kindled a fire and ^(B)received us all. ³ But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out ^[b]because of the heat and fastened itself on his hand. ⁴ When ^(C)the ^[c]natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they began saying to one another, “^(D)Undoubtedly this man is a murderer, and though he has been saved from the sea, ^[d]justice has not allowed him to live.”
