Acts 16:19-40

19AndG1161 when herG846 mastersG2962 sawG1492 thatG3754 the hopeG1680 of theirG846 gainsG2039 was goneG1831, they caughtG1949 PaulG3972 andG2532 SilasG4609, and drewG1670 them intoG1519 the marketplaceG58 toG1909 the rulersG758,1 20AndG2532 broughtG4317 themG846 to the magistratesG4755, sayingG2036, TheseG3778 menG444, beingG5225 JewsG2453, do exceedingly troubleG1613 ourG2257 cityG4172, 21AndG2532 teachG2605 customsG1485, whichG3739 areG1832 notG3756 lawfulG1832 for usG2254 to receiveG3858, neitherG3761 to observeG4160, beingG5607 RomansG4514. 22AndG2532 the multitudeG3793 rose up togetherG4911 againstG2596 themG846: andG2532 the magistratesG4755 tore offG4048 theirG846 clothesG2440, and commandedG2753 to beatG4463 them . 23AndG5037 when they had laidG2007 manyG4183 stripesG4127 upon themG846, they castG906 them intoG1519 prisonG5438, chargingG3853 the jailorG1200 to keepG5083 themG846 safelyG806: 24WhoG3739, having receivedG2983 suchG5108 a chargeG3852, thrustG906 themG846 intoG1519 the innerG2082 prisonG5438, andG2532 madeG805 theirG846 feetG4228 fastG805 inG1519 the stocksG3586.

25AndG1161 atG2596 midnightG3317 PaulG3972 andG2532 SilasG4609 prayedG4336, and sang praisesG5214 to GodG2316: andG1161 the prisonersG1198 heardG1874 themG846. 26AndG1161 suddenlyG869 there wasG1096 a greatG3173 earthquakeG4578, so thatG5620 the foundationsG2310 of the prisonG1201 were shakenG4531: andG5037 immediatelyG3916 allG3956 the doorsG2374 were openedG455, andG2532 every one’sG3956 bandsG1199 were loosedG447. 27AndG1161 the keeper of the prisonG1200 awakingG1096 out of his sleepG1853, andG2532 seeingG1492 the prisonG5438 doorsG2374 openG455, he drew outG4685 his swordG3162, and wouldG3195 have killedG337 himselfG1438, supposingG3543 that the prisonersG1198 had fledG1628. 28ButG1161 PaulG3972 criedG5455 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, sayingG3004, DoG4238 thyselfG4572 noG3367 harmG2556: forG1063 we areG2070 allG537 hereG1759. 29ThenG1161 he calledG154 for a lightG5457, and sprang inG1530, andG2532 cameG1096 tremblingG1790, and fell down beforeG4363 PaulG3972 andG2532 SilasG4609, 30AndG2532 broughtG4254 themG846 outG1854, and saidG5346, SirsG2962, whatG5101 mustG1163 IG3165 doG4160 toG2443 be savedG4982? 31AndG1161 they saidG2036, BelieveG4100 onG1909 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, andG2532 thouG4771 shalt be savedG4982, andG2532 thyG4675 houseG3624. 32AndG2532 they spokeG2980 to himG846 the wordG3056 of the LordG2962, andG2532 to allG3956 that were inG1722 hisG846 houseG3614. 33AndG2532 he tookG3880 themG846G1722 the sameG1565 hourG5610 of the nightG3571, and washedG3068 their stripesG575G4127; andG2532 was baptizedG907, heG846 andG2532 allG3956 hisG846, without delayG3916. 34AndG5037 when he had broughtG321 themG846 intoG1519 his houseG3624, he setG3908 foodG5132 before themG3908, andG2532 rejoicedG21, believingG4100 in GodG2316 with allG3832 hisG846 houseG3832.

35AndG1161 when it wasG1096 dayG2250, the magistratesG4755 sentG649 the officersG4465, sayingG3004, LetG630 thoseG1565 menG444 goG630. 36AndG1161 the keeper of the prisonG1200 toldG518 thisG5128 sayingG3056 toG4314 PaulG3972, The magistratesG4755 have sentG649 toG2443 let you goG630: nowG3568 thereforeG3767 departG1831, and goG4198 inG1722 peaceG1515. 37ButG1161 PaulG3972 saidG5346 toG4314 themG846, They have beatenG1194 usG2248 openlyG1219 uncondemnedG178, beingG5225 RomansG4514G444, and have castG906 us intoG1519 prisonG5438; andG2532 nowG3568 do they thrustG1544 usG2248 outG1544 privatelyG2977? nayG3756 verilyG1063; butG235 let them comeG2064 themselvesG846 and bringG1806 usG2248 outG1806. 38AndG1161 the officersG4465 toldG312 theseG5023 wordsG4487 to the magistratesG4755: andG2532 they fearedG5399, when they heardG191 thatG3754 they wereG1526 RomansG4514. 39AndG2532 they cameG2064 and besoughtG3870 themG846, andG2532 brought them outG1806, and desiredG2065 them to depart outG1831 of the cityG4172. 40AndG1161 they wentG1831 out ofG1537 the prisonG5438, and enteredG1525 intoG1519 the house of LydiaG3070: andG2532 when they had seenG1492 the brethrenG80, they comfortedG3870 themG846, andG2532 departedG1831.
