MLV(i)
3 But when Paul twisted together a bunch of brush and having laid it upon the fire, a viper attached to his hand, having come out through the brush from the warmth.
4 Now as the barbarians saw the snake hanging from his hand, they were saying to one another, This man is certainly a murderer, whom, having been saved out of the sea, justice did not permit him to live.
5 Therefore indeed, he shook-off the snake into the fire and suffered no evil.
6 But they were expecting that he is about to swell up or to suddenly fall down dead. But expecting it for a long time and viewing nothing improper happening to him, having a turnabout, they were saying that he was a god.
