Acts 16:25-34

25Now about midnight 1Paul and Silas were praying and 2singing hymns of praise to God, and the prisoners were listening to them; 26and suddenly 3there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately 4all the doors were opened, and everyone’s 5chains were unfastened. 27When 6the jailer awoke and saw the prison doors opened, he drew his sword and was about 7to kill himself, thinking that the prisoners had escaped. 28But Paul called out with a loud voice, saying, “Do not harm yourself, for we are all here!” 29And the jailer asked for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear, he fell down before 8Paul and Silas; 30and after he brought them out, he said, “Sirs, 9what must I do to be saved?” 31They said, “10Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and 11your household.” 32And they spoke the word of God to him together with all who were in his house. 33And he took them 12that very hour of the night and washed their wounds, and immediately he was baptized, he and all his household. 34And he brought them into his house and set 13food before them, and was 14overjoyed, since he had become a believer in God together with 15his whole household.
