ગુજરાતીપ્રેરિતોનાં કૃત્યો ૨૮:૬
પણ તેઓ ધારતા હતા કે, તેનો હાથ હમણાં સૂજી જશે, અથવા તે એકાએક પડીને મરી જશે, પણ ઘણી વાર રાહ જોયા પછી તેઓએ જોયું કે તેને કશું નુકસાન થયું નથી, ત્યારે તેઓએ વિચાર ફેરવીને કહ્યું કે, તે કોઈ દેવ છે.
हिन्दीप्रेरितों के काम २८:६
परन्तु वे प्रतीक्षा कर रहे थे कि वह सूज जाएगा, या एकाएक गिरकर मर जाएगा, परन्तु जब वे बहुत देर तक देखते रहे और देखा कि उसका कुछ भी नहीं बिगड़ा, तो और ही विचार कर कहा, “यह तो कोई देवता है।”

In context

4When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped from the sea, yet Justice has not allowed to live.”

5However he shook off the creature into the fire, and wasn’t harmed.

6But they expected that he would have swollen or fallen down dead suddenly, but when they watched for a long time and saw nothing bad happen to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.

7Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius, who received us and courteously entertained us for three days.

8The father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery. Paul entered in to him, prayed, and laying his hands on him, healed him.
