← Acts 28:3	Acts 28:4 (KJV)	Acts 28:5 →
And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid [them] on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand.	And when the barbarians saw the [venomous] beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live.	And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.
