Not all prisoner are guilty, some were framed up just as paul; when paul was on the island he gathered an armful of sticks to lay fire, a poisonous snake driven out by the heat of the fire fastened itself to his hand, people exclaimed NO WONDER, ONCE A MURDERER!
Moreover, the people expected him to suddenly fall or begin swelling and be dead, because of the venom of the poisonous snake; but instead he shook off the snake from his hands and was unharmed.
