Acts 16:27-32

²⁷The jail boss woke up and saw that the doors of the jail were open, and he thought, “Those prisoners have all run away. I’m in big trouble.” So he got his big knife to kill himself.

²⁸Paul saw the jail boss and shouted to him, “Don’t hurt yourself. We are all here.”

²⁹The jail boss told somebody to bring some lights, then he ran into the jail and got down in front of Paul and Silas, to show them respect. He was very afraid. He was shaking.

³⁰Then he took Paul and Silas out of the jail and asked, “Sirs, what can I do so that God will save me?”

³¹They said, “Believe in Jesus, and God will save you. And he will do the same for your family too.”

³²Then the jail boss took Paul and Silas into his house, and washed the sores on their backs, and gave them some food to eat. And Paul and Silas told the message about Jesus to the jail boss and to his family. They all believed in Jesus, and Paul and Silas baptised them. They were all very happy.
