Acts 28:3-5

The Voice

³ Paul was gathering firewood and helping build the fire. A viper had been hiding in some of the wood, and as it tried to escape the heat, it bit Paul on the hand. It sank its fangs in and wouldn’t let go. ⁴ The natives saw it dangling from his hand.

⁵ Paul simply shook the snake off into the fire and suffered no harm.
