ACTS

Paul is Supernaturally Protected

Pastor Scott Brenner Acts 28:1-6
[28:1] Now when they had escaped, they then found out that the island was called Malta.
[28:2] And the natives showed us unusual kindness; for they kindled a fire and made us all welcome, because of the rain that was falling and because of the cold.
[28:3] But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat, and fastened on his hand.
[28:4] So when the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, "No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped the sea, yet justice does not allow to live."
[28:5] But he shook off the creature into the fire and suffered no harm.
[28:6] However, they were expecting that he would swell up or suddenly fall down dead. But after they had looked for a long time and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.
