While building a fire, Paul gets bitten by a viper, leading the local people to think he’s a murderer, but then he lives through it, which makes them think he is a god. The people show great hospitality: first they make a fire for the cold and wet strangers and then the leader, Publius, invites them to his house. Paul heals Publius’ father, which leads to the healing of many others. The shipwrecked group leaves three months later and travels to Rome with no further delay. Christian believers from Rome meet Paul at the Forrum of Appius and Three Taverns.
