29Then he called for a light, ran in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas. 30And he brought them out and said, z“Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”

31So they said, a“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.” 32Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house. 33And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes. And immediately he and all his family were baptized. 34Now when he had brought them into his house, bhe set food before them; and he rejoiced, having believed in God with all his household.
