Contextual Overview

1 And when they were scaped, then they knewe that the Ile was called Melite. 2 And ye straungers shewed vs no litle kyndnesse: for they kyndled a fyre, and receaued vs euery one, because of the present rayne, and because of the colde. 3 And when Paul had gathered a bondell of stickes, and layde them on the fyre, there came a Uiper out of the heat, and caught hym by the hande. 4 And when the straungers sawe the beast hang on his hande, they sayde among them selues, No doubt this man is a murtherer: Whom though he haue escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffreth not to lyue. 5 And he shoke of the Uiper into the fyre, and felt no harme. 6 Howbeit, they wayted whe he shoulde haue swolne, or fallen downe dead sodenlie: But after they had loked a great while, and sawe no harme come to him, they chaunged their myndes, and sayde that he was a God. 7 In the same quarters were possessios of ye chiefe man of the Ile, whose name was Publius, which receaued vs, and lodged vs three dayes curteouslye. 8 And it came to passe, that the father of Publius lay sicke of a feuer, and of a bloody flixe: to whom Paul entred in, & prayed, and layde his handes on hym, and healed hym. 9 So when this was done, other also which had diseases in the Ile, came and were healed: 10 Which also dyd vs great honour, and when we departed, they laded vs with such thynges as were necessary.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he shook off the beast into the fire,.... Having held it a while, and as being master of it, and as not being afraid of it, though it was the ready way to provoke it to fasten on him again:

and felt no harm; it having not bit him, nor infected him with its poison; and hereby was fulfilled what our Lord promised to his disciples, Mark 16:18;

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And he shook off ... - In this was remarkably fulfilled the promise of the Saviour Mark 16:18; “They shall take up serpents,” etc.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Acts 28:5. Shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm. — This is a presumptive evidence that the viper did not bite St. Paul: it fastened on his hand, but had no power to injure him.
