Lamsa(i)
4 And when the barbarians saw it hanging from his hand, they said, It may be that this man is a murderer, whom though he has been rescued from the sea, yet justice does not permit him to live.
5 But Paul shook his hand and threw the viper into the fire, and felt no harm.
6 However, the barbarians expected he would immediately swell up and fall to the ground dead: but after they had waited for a long while, and saw he had not been harmed, they changed their talk, and said that he was a god.
7 There were villages in that region, belonging to a man whose name was PubÆli-us, the chief man of the island; and he gladly received us at his house for three days.
8 But the father of PubÆli-us was sick with fever and dysentery: so Paul went in to where he was lying and prayed, then he laid his hand on him and healed him.
9 So when this was done, others also sick in the island, came, and were healed.
10 The inhabitants honored us with great honors: and when we departed from thence, they ladened us with provisions.
