Context of Acts 16:32

30After he brought them out, he said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 31They said, “Put your trust in the Lord Yeshua and you will be saved—you and your household!” Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him, along with everyone in his household. 33He took them that very hour and washed their wounds, and at once he was immersed—he and all his household. 34The jailer brought them to his house and set food before them, and he was overjoyed that he with his entire household had put their trust in God.
