19AndG1161 when herG846 mastersG3588G2962 sawG3708 thatG3754 the hopeG3588G1680 of theirG846 gainsG3588G2039 was goneG1831, they caughtG1949 PaulG3588G3972 andG2532 SilasG3588G4609, and drewG1670 them intoG1519 the marketplaceG3588G58 untoG1909 the rulersG3588G758, 20AndG2532 broughtG4317 themG846 to the magistratesG3588G4755, sayingG3004, TheseG3778 menG3588G444, beingG5225 JewsG2453, do exceedingly troubleG1613 ourG1473 cityG3588G4172, 21AndG2532 teachG2605 customsG1485, whichG3739 areG1832 notG3756 lawfulG1832 for usG1473 to receiveG3858, neitherG3761 to observeG4160, beingG1510 RomansG4514. 22AndG2532 the multitudeG3588G3793 rose up togetherG4911 againstG2596 themG846: andG2532 the magistratesG3588G4755 rent offG4048 theirG846 clothesG3588G2440, and commandedG2753 to beatG4463 them. 23AndG5037 when they had laidG2007 manyG4183 stripesG4127 upon themG846, they castG906 them intoG1519 prisonG5438, chargingG3853 the jailorG3588G1200 to keepG5083 themG846 safelyG806: 24WhoG3739, having receivedG2983 suchG5108 a chargeG3852, thrustG906 themG846 intoG1519 the innerG2082 prisonG5438, andG2532 madeG805 theirG846 feetG3588G4228 fastG805 inG1519 the stocksG3588G3586.
25AndG1161 atG2596 midnightG3588G3317 PaulG3972 andG2532 SilasG4609 prayedG4336, and sang praisesG5214 unto GodG3588G2316: andG1161 the prisonersG3588G1198 heardG1874 themG846. 26AndG1161 suddenlyG869 there wasG1096 a greatG3173 earthquakeG4578, so thatG5620 the foundationsG3588G2310 of the prisonG3588G1201 were shakenG4531: andG5037 immediatelyG3916 allG3956 the doorsG3588G2374 were openedG455, andG2532 every one’sG3956 bandsG3588G1199 were loosedG447. 27AndG1161 the keeper of the prisonG3588G1200 awaking outG1096 of his sleepG1853, andG2532 seeingG3708 the prisonG3588G5438 doorsG3588G2374 openG455, he drew outG4685 his swordG3162, and wouldG3195 have killedG337 himselfG1438, supposing thatG3543 the prisonersG3588G1198 had been fledG1628. 28ButG1161 PaulG3588G3972 criedG5455 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, sayingG3004, DoG4238 thyselfG4572 noG3367 harmG2556: forG1063 we areG1510 allG537 hereG1759. 29ThenG1161 he calledG154 for a lightG5457, and sprang inG1530, andG2532 cameG1096 tremblingG1790, and fell downG4363 before PaulG3588G3972 andG2532 SilasG3588G4609, 30AndG2532 broughtG4254 themG846 outG1854, and saidG5346, SirsG2962, whatG5101 mustG1163 IG1473 doG4160 to beG2443 savedG4982? 31AndG1161 they saidG3004, BelieveG4100 onG1909 the LordG3588G2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, andG2532 thouG4771 shalt be savedG4982, andG2532 thyG4771 houseG3588G3624. 32AndG2532 they spakeG2980 unto himG846 the wordG3588G3056 of the LordG3588G2962, andG2532 to allG3956 that wereG3588 inG1722 hisG846 houseG3588G3614. 33AndG2532 he tookG3880 themG846 the sameG1565 hourG3588G5610 of the nightG3588G3571, and washedG3068 their stripesG3588G4127; andG2532 was baptizedG907, heG846 andG2532 allG3956 hisG846, straightwayG3916. 34AndG5037 when he had broughtG321 themG846 intoG1519 hisG846 houseG3588G3624, he setG3908 meatG5132 before themG3908, andG2532 rejoicedG21, believingG4100 in GodG3588G2316 with all his houseG3832. 35And whenG1161 it wasG1096 dayG2250, the magistratesG3588G4755 sentG649 the serjeantsG3588G4465, sayingG3004, LetG630 thoseG1565 menG3588G444 goG630. 36AndG1161 the keeper of the prisonG3588G1200 toldG518 thisG3778 sayingG3588G3056 toG4314 PaulG3588G3972, The magistratesG3588G4755 have sentG649 toG2443 let you goG630: nowG3568 thereforeG3767 departG1831, and goG4198 inG1722 peaceG1515. 37ButG1161 PaulG3588G3972 saidG5346 untoG4314 themG846, They have beatenG1194 usG1473 openlyG1219 uncondemnedG178, beingG5225 RomansG4514, and have castG906 us intoG1519 prisonG5438; andG2532 nowG3568 do they thrustG1544 usG1473 outG1544 privilyG2977? nayG3756 verilyG1063; butG235 let them comeG2064 themselvesG846 and fetchG1806 usG1473 outG1806. 38AndG1161 the serjeantsG3588G4465 toldG312 theseG3778 wordsG3588G4487 unto the magistratesG3588G4755: andG2532 they fearedG5399, when they heardG191 thatG3754 they wereG1510 RomansG4514. 39AndG2532 they cameG2064 and besoughtG3870 themG846, andG2532 broughtG1806 them outG1806, and desiredG2065 them to departG1831 out of the cityG3588G4172. 40AndG1161 they wentG1831 out ofG1537 the prisonG3588G5438, and enteredG1525 intoG1519 the house of LydiaG3588G3070: andG2532 when they had seenG3708 the brethrenG3588G80, they comfortedG3870 themG846, andG2532 departedG1831.
