25About midnight, while Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and while the prisoners were listening to them,
26suddenly there was an earthquake of such violence that the jail was shaken to its foundations; all the doors flew open, and all the prisoners' chains were loosened.
27Roused from his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, the Governor drew his sword intending to kill himself, in the belief that the prisoners had escaped.
28But Paul called our loudly, “Do not harm yourself; we are all here.”
