5He, in turn, shook off the creature into the fire and* suffered no harm. 6But they were expecting that he was going to swell upb or suddenly to fall down dead. So after* they had waited for a long time and saw nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and* began saying* that he was a god.
