Acts 28:6 CPDV

⁴  And truly, when the natives saw the beast hanging from his hand, they were saying to one another: 'Certainly, this man must be a murderer, for though he escaped from the sea, vengeance will not permit him to live.'

⁵  But shaking off the creature into the fire, he indeed suffered no ill effects.

⁶  But they were supposing that he would soon swell up, and then would suddenly fall down and die. But having waited a long time, and seeing no ill effects in him, they changed their minds and were saying that he was a god.

⁷  Now among these places were estates owned by the ruler of the island, named Publius. And he, taking us in, showed us kind hospitality for three days.

⁸  Then it happened that the father of Publius lay ill with a fever and with dysentery. Paul entered to him, and when he had prayed and had laid his hands on him, he saved him.
