The soldiers plan to kill the prisoners when they hit land before they're able to escape, but God has promised that no one will die, and he thwarts their plan via the compassion of Paul's guard, Julius. And just like God promised, they all survive.

As it turns out, the people of Malta are super nice, which isn't necessarily the response you'd expect when a bunch of prisoners crash land on your shore. They make sure everyone is taken care of. Paul dusts off his Boy Scout skills and starts a fire, but he forgets that the first rule of campfires is watch out for vipers.

A snake latches onto his hand, and the locals, who are steeped in Greek mythology, take it as a sign that he's evil, a murderer in fact. And well, they're not wrong. They say the Greek goddess Justice is making sure he doesn't get away unpunished. But meanwhile, the one true god Yahweh is like, I'm sorry, Greek goddess who? You must have the wrong number. This guy belongs to me.

Paul shakes off the snake and starts working on some s'mores, and the people are astonished. After he doesn't even have so much as a swollen pinky, they decide that he is a god. Paul provokes such dramatic responses from people that either love him or hate him, and sometimes both in the same hour. He's invited to stay at the home of the chief official, and while he's there, he heals the man's dad.

This starts a domino effect with other sick people on the island, and Paul keeps healing them all. After about three months, when the worst part of winter has passed, they set sail again, heading toward Rome. When they arrive, they're greeted by friends, and Paul even gets to stay in his own cell, just him and his soldier.

Because of his high status as a prisoner and probably the fact that his soldier has really taken a liking to him, he seems to be granted a lot more freedom than most other prisoners in this day. He calls a meeting of the local Jewish leaders in Rome and explains his situation to them.

They say, we haven't heard anything negative about you, but we have heard bad stuff about the followers of Jesus that you're a part of. They'll listen on what that's all about. So they set up a day for him to tell everyone about it. And when seminar day comes, loads of people show up at Paul's prison cell to hear the truth. He talks from morning until night, as is his way.

Some of them believe and some don't. People can hear the same truth and respond differently. That's because it doesn't depend on how well we make our argument or present the facts. The Spirit has to open hearts to hear the truth. And Paul points that out to them and says, this is just like what Isaiah prophesied.
