when Paul stopped him: “Don’t do that! We’re all still here! Nobody’s run away!”

29–31The jailer got a torch and ran inside. Badly shaken, he collapsed in front of Paul and Silas. He led them out of the jail and asked, “Sirs, what do I have to do to be saved, to really live?” They said, “Put your entire trust in the Master Jesus. Then you’ll live as you were meant to live—and everyone in your house included!”

32–34They went on to spell out in detail the story of the Master—the entire family got in on this part.
