viper in Matthew 12
VY-per
This creature shows up in Matthew 12:34: “You offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Matthew 12:34
“You offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.”

When you hear viper in Matthew, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
