25About midnight, Paul and Silas were praying aloud and praising God by singing hymns. The other prisoners were listening attentively to them.
26Suddenly there was a very strong earthquake. It shook the entire jail SYN and its foundation SYN. The earthquake caused all the doors of the jail to open suddenly, and caused all the chains that fastened the prisoners to fall off.
27The jailer woke up and saw that the doors of the jail were open. He thought that the prisoners had escaped. So he pulled out his sword in order to kill himself, because he knew that the officials would kill him if the prisoners escaped.
28Paul saw the jailer and shouted to him, “Do not harm yourself! We (exc) prisoners are all here!”
29The jailer shouted to someone to bring torches/lanterns, and after they brought them, he rushed into the jail and knelt down in front of Paul and Silas. He was very afraid, so much so that he was trembling/shaking.
30Then he brought Paul and Silas out of the jail and asked: “Sirs, what do I need to do to be saved from being punished for my sins?”
31They answered, “Trust in what the Lord Jesus has done for you, and you will be saved { God will save you}, and the others who live in MTY your house will also be saved if they believe in Jesus.”
