falling to the ground. members of the congregationbegan praying for their pastor, but to no avail. jon wayne brown was dead within minutes. in the nearly 20 years of handling serpentsfor religious reasons, brown had been bit 22 times. his wife was bit three years earlierafter being bit by a rattlesnake as well. the practice stems from a verse in the scriptureof mark in the new testament. in mark 16: verses 17-18, the disciple claims that truebelievers of christ can demonstrate their faith by handling poisonous snakes. the booksof luke and acts make similar claims. the pentecostal church has taken this quite literallyas it is practiced by some churches in rural parts of the united states. it is estimatedthat more than 70 people have died from snakebites
