Acts 16:25–34

²⁵About midnight^d Paul and Silas^e were praying and singing hymns^f to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. ²⁶Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken.^g At once all the prison doors flew open,^h and everyone’s chains came loose.^{i 27}The jailer woke up, and when he saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself because he thought the prisoners had escaped.^{j 28}But Paul shouted, “Don’t harm yourself! We are all here!”

²⁹The jailer called for lights, rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas.^{k 30}He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”^l

³¹They replied, “Believe^m in the Lord Jesus, and you will be savedⁿ—you and your household.”^{o 32}Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all the others in his house. ³³At that hour of the night^p the jailer took them and washed their wounds; then immediately he and all his household were baptized.^{q 34}The jailer brought them into his house and set a meal before them; he^r was filled with joy because he had come to believe in God—he and his whole household.
