Acts 16:27-34

27When the jailer woke up and saw the doors of the prison standing open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, because he assumed the prisoners had escaped.

28But Paul called out loudly, “Do not harm yourself, for we are all here!”

29Calling for lights, the jailer rushed in and fell down trembling at the feet of Paul and Silas.

30Then he brought them outside and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”

31They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, you and your household.”

32Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him, along with all those who were in his house.

33At that hour of the night he took them and washed their wounds; then he and all his family were baptized right away.

34The jailer brought them into his house and set food before them, and he rejoiced greatly that he had come to believe in God, together with his entire household.
