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.

7 Il y avait, dans les environs, des terres appartenant au principal personnage de l’île, nommé Publius, qui nous reçut et nous logea pendant trois jours de la manière la plus amicale.
