But whan they had loked a greate whyle, and sawe yt there happened no harme vnto him, they chaunged their myndes, and sayde that he was a God. 7 In the same quarters the chefe man of the Ile whose name was Publius had a lordshipe: the same receaued vs, and lodged vs thre dayes curteously. 8 It fortuned wha Publius father laye sicke of the feuers and of a bloudy fluxe, Paul wente in vnto him, and prayed, and layed the handes on him, and healed him. 9 Whan this was done, other also which had diseases in the Ile, came, and were healed. 10 And they dyd vs greate honoure. And whan we departed, they laded vs with thinges 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; âThey shall take up serpents,â 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.
