23
And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely.
24
He, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison and made their feet fast in the stocks.
25
And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed and sang praises unto God, and the prisoners heard them.
26
And 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 bands were loosed.
27
And the keeper of the prison, awakening out of his sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew out his sword and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had fled.
28
But Paul cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Do thyself no harm, for we are all here!"
29
Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling and fell down before Paul and Silas,
30
and brought them out and said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"
31
And they said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house."
32
And they spoke unto him the Word of the Lord, and to all who were in his house.
33
And he took them that same hour of the night and washed their stripes, and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.
