25But about midnight aPaul and Silas were praying and bsinging hymns of praise to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. 26And suddenly athere came a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the jailhouse were shaken; and immediately ball the doors were opened and everyone’s cchains were unfastened. 27And when athe jailer awoke and saw the prison doors opened, he drew his sword and was about bto kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped. 28But Paul cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Do not harm yourself, for we are all here!” 29And he called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before aPaul and Silas, 30and after he brought them out, he said, “Sirs, awhat must I do to be saved?” 31And they said, “aBelieve in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and byour house.” 32And they spoke the word of 1the Lord to him together with all who were in his household. 33And he took them athat very hour of the night and washed their wounds, and immediately he was baptized, he and all his household. 34And he brought them into his house and set 1food before them, and rejoiced 2greatly with ahis whole household, because he had believed in God.
