Acts 28:1-3

New Century Version

Paul on the Island of Malta

28 When we were safe on land, we learned that the island was called Malta. ² The people who lived there were very good to us. Because it was raining and very cold, they made a fire and welcomed all of us. ³ Paul gathered a pile of sticks and was putting them on the fire when a poisonous snake came out because of the heat and bit him on the hand.
