Here are the verses from The Bible that snake handling churches use to justify their practices. But there is a deeper message than what these verses tell.


Exodus ch. 4 (KJV)
2: And the LORD said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod.

3: And he said, cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it.

4: And the LORD said unto Moses, Put forth thine hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand:

Mark ch. 16 (KJV)
18: They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.


Luke ch. 10 (KJV)
19: Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.


Acts ch. 28 (KJV)
3: And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand.

4: And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, no doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live.

5: And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.

6: Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.
