1. When we were safe on land, we learned that the island was called Malta.
2. The people who lived there were very good to us. It was raining and very cold, so they built a fire and welcomed all of us.
3. Paul gathered a pile of sticks for the fire. He was putting the sticks on the fire, and a poisonous snake came out because of the heat and bit him on the hand.
10-11. The people on the island gave us many honors. And after we had been there three months and were ready to leave, they provided us everything we needed for our trip. We got on a ship from Alexandria that had stayed on the island of Malta during the winter. On the front of the ship was the sign for the twin gods.
