Acts 16:27-32

27When the jailer, shaken out of sleep, saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, thinking that the prisoners had escaped.

28But Paul shouted, saying, “Do not hurt yourself, we are all here!”

29Then the jailer called for torches and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas,

30and after he brought them out [of the inner prison], he said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”

31And they answered, “Believe in the Lord Jesus [as your personal Savior and entrust yourself to Him] and you will be saved, you and your household [if they also believe].”

32And they spoke the word of the Lord [concerning eternal salvation through faith in Christ] to him and to all who were in his house.
