Acts 16:21-34

²¹and they teach customs which it is not lawful for us Romans to receive or observe.

²²And the multitude rose up together against them, and the magistrates, tearing off their clothes, commanded to beat them with rods;

²³and when they had laid on them many stripes, they cast them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely;

²⁴who having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.

²⁵But at midnight Paul and Silas praying, were singing praises to God; and the prisoners were listening to them.

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

²⁷And the jailer awakening out of sleep, and seeing the prison-doors open, drew his sword, and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.

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

²⁹Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas;

³⁰and having brought them out, he said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

³¹And they said, Believe in the Lord Jesus, and thou wilt be saved, and thy household.

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

³³And he took them with him at that hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and he was immediately baptized, himself and all that belonged to him.

³⁴And when he had brought them up into his house, he set food before them, and rejoiced with all his house, having become a believer in God.
