📚 Historical Context
In the Book of Acts, Chapter 28, the apostle Paul had just survived a shipwreck on the island of Malta while being transported to Rome as a prisoner. As he was gathering sticks for a fire, a venomous snake bit his hand, but he shook it off and suffered no harm, fulfilling a promise from Jesus that believers would be protected from such dangers. This event showcased God's providence and led the local people to witness Paul's faith and eventually hear the Gospel.
