Acts 28:2-4

International Children’s Bible

² It was raining and very cold. But the people who lived there were very good to us. They made us a fire and welcomed all of us. ³ Paul gathered a pile of sticks for the fire. He was putting them on the fire when a poisonous snake came out because of the heat and bit him on the hand. ⁴ The people living on the island saw the snake hanging from Paul’s hand. They said to each other, “This man must be a murderer! He did not die in the sea, but Justice^[a] does not want him to live.”
