About This Place

A Mediterranean island south of Sicily where Paul's ship ran aground during a violent storm (Acts 27-28). The islanders showed unusual kindness to the survivors. Paul was bitten by a viper but unharmed, and he healed the father of the island's chief official — leading many to believe.

Chapters Mentioning Malta

Acts

Snake Bit and Still Standing

Paul survives a shipwreck, tanks a viper bite like it's nothing, heals an entire island, and finally makes it to Rome. He spends his last chapter preaching the kingdom of God to anyone who'll listen — and some won't. The book of Acts ends not with a period but with a mic still on.
