Acts 28:3-10

³And when Paul had gathered together a bundle of sticks, and had laid them on the fire, a viper coming out of the heat, fastened on his hand.

⁴And when the barbarians saw the beast hanging on his hand, they said one to another: Undoubtedly this man is a murderer, who though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance doth not suffer him to live.

⁵And he indeed shaking off the beast into the fire, suffered no harm.

⁶But they supposed that he would begin to swell up, and that he would suddenly fall down and die. But expecting long, and seeing that there came no harm to him, changing their minds, they said, that he was a god.

⁷Now in these places were possessions of the chief man of the island, named Publius, who receiving us, for three days entertained us courteously.

⁸And it happened that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever, and of a bloody flux. To whom Paul entered in; and when he had prayed, and laid his hands on him, he healed him.

⁹Which being done, all that had diseases in the island, came and were healed:

¹⁰Who also honoured us with many honours, and when we were to set sail, they laded us with such things as were necessary.
