Acts 16:25–34

The Philippian Jailer Converted

^25pAbout midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them, ²⁶and suddenly ^qthere was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately ^rall the doors were opened, and ^severyone’s bonds were unfastened. ²⁷When the jailer woke and saw that the prison doors were open, he drew his sword and ^twas about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped. ²⁸But Paul cried with a loud voice, “Do not harm yourself, for we are all here.” ²⁹And the jailer⁶ called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he ^ufell down before Paul and Silas. ³⁰Then he brought them out and said, “Sirs, ^vwhat must I do to be ^wsaved?” ³¹And they said, ^x“Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you ^yand your household.” ³²And they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house. ³³And he took them ^zthe same hour of the night and washed their wounds; and he ^awas baptized at once, he and all his family. ³⁴Then he brought them up into his house and set food before them. And he ^brejoiced along with his entire household that he had believed in God.
