Acts 28:5-7
Worldwide English (New Testament)
5 Paul shook the snake off into the fire. It did not hurt him.
6 The people thought surely he would swell up or would drop down dead at once. They waited a long time and saw that nothing bad happened to him. Then they said, `We were wrong. He must be a god.'
7 The ruler of the island was a man named Publius. He owned some of the land there. He took us to his house for three days and was very kind to us.

New International Version
5 But Paul shook the snake off into the fire and suffered no ill effects.(A) 6 The people expected him to swell up or suddenly fall dead; but after waiting a long time and seeing nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and said he was a god.(B)
7 There was an estate nearby that belonged to Publius, the chief official of the island. He welcomed us to his home and showed us generous hospitality for three days.
