Which New Testament book records Paul’s shipwreck on the island of Malta?

The Book of Acts records Paul’s shipwreck on the island of Malta.

Acts 27–28 describes Paul’s voyage to Rome as a prisoner. After a severe storm, the ship breaks apart, but everyone aboard reaches land safely. The islanders welcome the survivors, and Paul is bitten by a poisonous snake while gathering sticks for a fire. When he suffers no harm, the islanders reconsider their judgment of him.

Paul then heals the father of Publius, the island’s leading official, and other sick people. Acts says that Paul and his companions remain on Malta for three months before continuing their journey to Rome. The episode forms part of the book’s final movement toward Paul’s arrival in the imperial capital.

The island is traditionally identified with Malta in the central Mediterranean. Some readers confuse this account with other New Testament sea journeys, but the detailed storm, shipwreck, snake, and healing sequence belongs specifically to Acts 27–28.
