Acts 16:21-32

²¹and announce customs which it is not lawful for us to receive nor practise, being Romans.

²²And the crowd rose up too against them; and the praetors, having torn off their clothes, commanded to scourge them.

²³And having laid many stripes upon them they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely;

²⁴who, having received such a charge, cast them into the inner prison, and secured their feet to the stocks.

²⁵And at midnight Paul and Silas, in praying, were praising God with singing, and the prisoners listened to them.

²⁶And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison shook, and all the doors were immediately opened, and the bonds of all loosed.

²⁷And the jailor being awakened out of his sleep, and seeing the doors of the prison opened, having drawn a sword was going to kill himself, thinking the prisoners had fled.

²⁸But Paul called out with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm, for we are all here.

²⁹And having asked for lights, he rushed in, and, trembling, fell down before Paul and Silas.

³⁰And leading them out said, Sirs, what must I do that I may be saved?

³¹And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house.

³²And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, with all that were in his house.
