Acts 28:3-5

Christian Standard Bible

³ As Paul gathered a bundle of brushwood and put it on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened itself on his hand. ⁴ When the local people saw the snake hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “This man, no doubt, is a murderer. Even though he has escaped the sea, Justice has not allowed him to live.”^{(A) 5} But he shook the snake off into the fire and suffered no harm.^(B)
