Acts 28:2-4

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

² The local people^(A) showed us extraordinary kindness. They lit a fire and took us all in, since it was raining and cold. 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.’^(B)
