Acts 28:3 in Context — Acts 28
1 Après nous être sauvés, nous reconnûmes que l’île s’appelait Malte.
2 Les barbares nous témoignèrent une bienveillance peu commune; ils nous recueillirent tous auprès d’un grand feu, qu’ils avaient allumé parce que la pluie tombait et qu’il faisait grand froid.
3 Paul ayant ramassé un tas de broussailles et l’ayant mis au feu, une vipère en sortit par l’effet de la chaleur et s’attacha à sa main.
4 Quand les barbares virent l’animal suspendu à sa main, ils se dirent les uns aux autres: Assurément cet homme est un meurtrier, puisque la Justice n’a pas voulu le laisser vivre, après qu’il a été sauvé de la mer.
5 Paul secoua l’animal dans le feu, et ne ressentit aucun mal.
