23
When they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely,
24
who, having received such a charge, threw them into the inner prison, and secured their feet in the stocks.
25
But about midnight Sha'ul and Sila were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.
26
Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone's bonds were loosened.
27
The jailer, being roused out of sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.
28
But Sha'ul cried with a loud voice, saying, "Don't harm yourself, for we are all here!"
29
He called for lights and sprang in, and, fell down trembling before Sha'ul and Sila,
30
and brought them out and said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"
31
They said, "Believe in the Lord Yeshua the Messiah, and you will be saved, you and your household."
32
They spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all who were in his house.
33
He took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes, and was immediately immersed, he and all his household.
