viper in Matthew 23
VY-per
This creature shows up in Matthew 23:33: “You serpents, you offspring of vipers, how will you escape the judgment of Gehenna?” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Matthew 23:33
“You serpents, you offspring of vipers, how will you escape the judgment of Gehenna?”
