Acts 16:22-37

22And the multitudeG3793 rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent their garmentsG2440 off them, and commandedG2753 to beat them with rodsG4463. 23And when they had laidG2007 manyG4183 stripes upon them, they castG906 them into prisonG5438, charging the jailor to keepG5083 them safely: 24who, having receivedG2983 such a chargeG3852, castG906 them into the inner prisonG5438, and made their feetG4228 fast in the stocks. 25But about midnightG3317 PaulG3972 and SilasG4609 were prayingG4336 and singing hymnsG5214 unto GodG2316, and the prisonersG1198 were listening to them; 26and suddenlyG869 there was a greatG3173 earthquakeG4578, so that the foundationsG2310 of the prison-house were shakenG4531: and immediatelyG3916 all the doorsG2374 were openedG455; and every one’s bands were loosed. 27And the jailor, being roused out of sleep and seeingG3708 the prisonG5438 doorsG2374 openG455, drew his swordG3162 and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisonersG1198 had escapedG1628. 28But PaulG3972 cried with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, sayingG3004, Do thyself no harmG2556: for we areG1510 all hereG1759. 29And he called for lightsG5457 and sprang in, and, trembling for fear, fell downG4363 before PaulG3972 and SilasG4609, 30and broughtG4254 them out and saidG5346, SirsG2962, what must I do to be savedG4982? 31And they saidG3004, BelieveG4100 on the LordG2962 JesusG2424, and thou shalt be savedG4982, thou and thy houseG3624. 32And they spake the wordG3056 of the LordG2962 unto him, with all that were in his houseG3614. 33And he tookG3880 them the sameG846 hourG5610 of the nightG3571, and washedG3068 their stripes; and was baptizedG907, he and all his, immediatelyG3916. 34And he broughtG321 them up into his houseG3624, and setG321 food before them, and rejoicedG21 greatly, with all his houseG3624, having believedG4100 in GodG2316.

35But when it was dayG2250, the magistrates sentG649 the serjeants, sayingG3004, Let those menG444 goG630. 36And the jailor reportedG518 the wordsG3056 to PaulG3972, sayingG3056, The magistrates have sentG649 to let you goG4198: nowG1161 thereforeG3767 comeG1831 forthG1831, and goG4198 in peaceG1515. 37But PaulG3972 saidG5346 unto them, They have beatenG1194 us publiclyG1219, uncondemnedG178, menG444 that are RomansG4514, and have castG906 us into prisonG5438; and do they nowG1161 castG906 us out privily? nay verily; but let them comeG2064 themselves and bringG906 us out.
