Chapters Mentioning Syracuse

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.
