21And teach customs which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans.
22And the multitude rose together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them .
23And when they had laid many stripes upon them, 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.
25And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises to God: and the prisoners heard them.
26And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.
27And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had fled.
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 came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas;
30And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
31And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
32And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
33And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, without delay.
34And when he had brought them into his house, he set food before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.
35And when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, Let those men go.
36And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go in peace.
37But Paul said to them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out privately? no verily; but let them come themselves and bring us out.
38And the sergeants told these words to the magistrates: and they feared when they heard that they were Romans.
39And they came and besought them, and brought them out, and desired them to depart out of the city.
