23When they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them securely;
24who, having received such a charge, threw them into the inner cell and fastened their feet in the stocks.
25Well about midnight Paul and Silas were singing hymns to God in prayer; and the other prisoners were listening to them.
26Suddenly there was a great earthquake, enough to shake the foundations of the prison; immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were loosed.
27But the jailer, awaking from sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew sword, intending to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.
28But Paul shouted out, “Don't harm yourself, because we are all here!”
29So calling for a light he ran in and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas.
30He then brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
31So they said, “Believe upon the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved, you and your household.”
32Then they spoke the Word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house.
33In that same hour of the night he took them aside and washed their wounds, and thereupon he and all his family were baptized.
