📚 Contexto Histórico
In Acts 28, Paul and his companions are shipwrecked on the island of Malta after a perilous sea voyage while Paul is being transported to Rome as a prisoner. The local inhabitants, called barbarians in the text, were likely pagan people with beliefs in multiple gods and the idea of divine justice for wrongdoing. When Paul was bitten by a venomous snake, they interpreted it as evidence that he was a criminal being punished by the gods, reflecting their cultural worldview of retribution.
