The Conversion of the Philippian Jailer
25Now about midnight, Paul and Silas were praying and* singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. 26And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately all the doors were opened and all the bondsi were unfastened. 27And after* the jailer was awake and saw the doors of the prison open, he drew his* sword and* was about to kill himself, because he* thought the prisoners had escaped. 28But Paul called out with a loud voice, saying, “Do no harm to yourself, for we are all here!” 29And demanding lights, he rushed in and, beginning to tremble,j fell down at the feet of Paul and Silas. 30And he brought them outside and* said, “Sirs, what must I do so that I can be saved?” 31And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, you and your household!” 32And they spoke the message of the Lord to him, together with all those in his house. 33And he took them at that very hour of the night and* washed their* wounds, and he himself was baptized at once, and all those of his household.* 34And he brought them up into his* house and* set a meal before them,* and rejoiced greatly that he had believed in God with his whole household.
