Acts 28:3-6

"But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat, and fastened on his hand."

"So when the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, 'No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped the sea, yet justice does not allow to live.'"

"But he shook off the creature into the fire and suffered no harm."

"However, they were expecting that he would swell up or suddenly fall down dead. But after they had looked for a long time and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god."

(Funny how a small experience with someone can shape the way we think of them. They first thought Paul was a convict escaped prison, but when the viper didn't hurt him and he shook it off with ease, they figured he must be a god. They were closer the first time. Don't let worldly knowledge be the governing factor in judging someone's character. Biblical wisdom and discernment is far more relevant in how to properly judge someone according to God's standard.)
