Acts 28:1-10 — Paul on the Island of Malta
Acts.28.1-10
1After we had escaped safely, we learned that the island was called Malta. 2The islanders showed us extraordinary kindness. They lit a fire and welcomed all of us because the rain had set in and because of the cold. 3When Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and put them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened itself to his hand. 4When the islanders saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “Surely this man is a murderer. Though he escaped safely from the sea, Justice has not allowed him to live.” 5But he shook the creature off into the fire and suffered no harm. 6They were expecting him to swell up or suddenly collapse dead. But after they had waited a long time and saw that nothing unusual was happening to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god. 7Now in the area around that place were lands belonging to the leading man of the island, named Publius, who welcomed us and hosted us graciously for three days. 8It happened that the father of Publius was lying sick with fever and dysentery. Paul went in to him, prayed, laid his hands on him, and healed him. 9After this happened, the rest of the people on the island who had diseases also came and were healed. 10They also honored us in many ways, and when we were about to set sail, they loaded us with the things we needed.
