Acts 16:23-40

23And having 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 secured their feetG4228 to the stocks. 25And at midnightG3317 PaulG3972 and SilasG4609, in prayingG4336, were praising 1GodG2316 with singing, and the prisonersG1198 listened to them. 26And suddenlyG869 there was a greatG3173 earthquakeG4578, so that the foundationsG2310 of the prisonG1201 shook, and all the doorsG2374 were immediatelyG3916 openedG455, and the bonds of all loosed. 27And the jailor being awakened out of his sleep, and seeingG3708 the doorsG2374 of the prisonG5438 openedG455, having drawn a swordG3162 was going to kill himself, thinking the prisonersG1198 had fled. 28But PaulG3972 called out with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, sayingG3004, Do thyself no harmG2556, for we areG1510 all hereG1759. 29And having askedG154 for lightsG5457, he rushed in, and, trembling, fell downG4363 before PaulG3972 and SilasG4609. 30And leading them out saidG5346, SirsG2962, what must I do that I may be savedG4982? 31And they saidG3004, BelieveG4100 on the LordG2962 JesusG2424 and thou shalt be savedG4982, thou and thy houseG3624. 32And they spokeG2980 to him the wordG3056 of the LordG2962, with all that were in his houseG3614. 33And he tookG3880 them the sameG846 hourG5610 of the nightG3571 and washedG3068 [them] from their stripes; and was baptised, he and all his straightway. 34And having broughtG321 them into his houseG3624 he laid the tableG5132 [for them], and rejoicedG21 with all his houseG3624, having believedG4100 in 2GodG2316. 35And when it was dayG2250, the praetors sentG649 the lictors, sayingG3004, Let those menG444 goG630. 36And the jailor reportedG518 these wordsG3056 to PaulG3972: The praetors have sentG649 that ye may be let goG4198. NowG1161 thereforeG3767 goG4198 out and departG1831 in peaceG1515. 37But PaulG3972 saidG5346 to them, Having beatenG1194 us publiclyG1219 uncondemnedG178, us who are RomansG4514, they have castG906 us into prisonG5438, and nowG1161 they thrust us out secretlyG2977? no, indeed, but let them comeG2064 themselves and bringG906 us out. 38And the lictors reportedG518 these words to the praetors. And they wereG1510 afraidG5399 when they heardG191 they wereG1510 RomansG4514. 39And they cameG2064 and besought them, and having brought them out, askedG2065 them to goG565 out of the cityG4172. 40And having goneG1831 out of the prisonG5438, they cameG1831 to LydiaG3070; and having seenG3708 the brethren, they exhortedG3870 them and wentG1831 awayG1831.
