Who was the New Testament writer that was bitten by a viper?

The New Testament writer who was bitten by a viper was the Apostle Paul. This incident occurred during his journey to Rome when he was shipwrecked on the island of Malta. While gathering firewood, a viper bit him, but he suffered no ill effects, which led the local people to regard him as a man of God. This event is recorded in Acts 28:3-6.
