Context
4Wale wenyeji wa kile kisiwa walipomwona yule nyoka akiningʼinia mkononi mwa Paulo, wakaambiana, “Huyu mtu lazima awe ni muuaji, ingawa ameokoka kutoka baharini, haki haijamwacha aishi.” 5Lakini Paulo akamkungʼutia yule nyoka ndani ya moto wala yeye hakupata madhara yoyote. 6Watu walikuwa wanangoja avimbe au aanguke ghafula na kufa. Lakini baada ya kungoja kwa muda mrefu na kuona kwamba hakuna chochote kisicho cha kawaida kilichomtokea, wakabadili mawazo yao na kuanza kusema kwamba yeye ni mungu. 7Basi karibu na sehemu ile, palikuwa na shamba kubwa la mtu mmoja kiongozi wa kile kisiwa, aliyeitwa Publio. Alitupokea na akatuhudumia kwa ukarimu mkubwa kwa muda wa siku tatu. 8Baba yake Publio alikuwa mgonjwa kitandani, akiwa anaumwa homa na kuhara damu. Paulo akaingia ndani ili kumwona na baada ya maombi, akaweka mikono juu yake na kumponya.
