²⁶And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately all the doors were opened and the bands of all were loosed.

²⁷And the keeper of the prison, awakening out of his sleep and seeing the doors of the prison open, drawing his sword, would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.

²⁸But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying: Do thyself no harm, for we all are here.

²⁹Then calling for a light, he went in: and trembling, fell down at the feet of Paul and Silas.

³⁰And bringing them out, he said: Masters, what must I do, that I may be saved?

³¹But they said: believe in the Lord Jesus: and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

³²And they preached the word of the Lord to him and to all that were in his house.

³³And he, taking them the same hour of the night, washed their stripes: and himself was baptized, and all his house immediately.

³⁴And when he had brought them into his own house, he laid the table for them: and rejoiced with all his house, believing God.
