Acts 28:6

---

← Acts 28:5	Acts 28:6 (KJV)	Acts 28:7 →
And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.	Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.	In the same quarters were possessions of the chief man of the island, whose name was Publius; who received us, and lodged us three days courteously.
