[:en]Paul finally reached an island called Malta. The islanders were hospitable. They built a fire and welcomed them. When Paul gathered a pile of brushwood and, as he put it on the fire, a viper came out and bit him. When the people saw that nothing had happened to him, they said he was a god. Paulus, the chief official of the island welcomed them to his home for 3 days and entertained them hospitably. His father was sick with fever and dysentery and when Paul placed his hands on him, he was healed. So many people went to the island and were cured. When they were ready to sail, the people there furnished them with the supplies they needed.
Paul was a prisoner in the ship. But by the grace of God, his presence saved all the passengers. When you face storm can you sail by faith and let others depend on you?[:]
