³⁰ And he brought them withoutforth, and said, Lords, what behooveth me to do, that I be made safe? (And he brought them outside, and said, Lords, what must I do, so that I can be saved?)

³¹ And they said, Believe thou in the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be safe, and thine house. (And they said, Believe in the Lord Jesus, and thou, and thy family, shall be saved.)

³² And they spake to him the word of the Lord, with all that were in his house.

³³ And he took them in the same hour of the night, and washed their wounds. And he was baptized, and all his house anon, (or And he, and his whole family, or and all his household, were baptized at once).

³⁴ And when he had brought them into his house, he set to them a board. And he was glad with all his house, and believed to God. (And when he had brought them into his house, he set a table for them, or he gave them a meal. And he had joy with all his household, and believed in God.)

³⁵ And when (the) day was come, the magistrates sent constables, and said, Deliver thou those men or Dismiss ye those men.

²⁹ And, having asked for a light, he sprang in, and trembling he fell down before Paul and Silas,

³⁰ and having brought them forth, said, 'Sirs, what must I do — that I may be saved?'

³¹ and they said, 'Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved — thou and thy house;'

³² and they spake to him the word of the Lord, and to all those in his household;

³³ and having taken them, in that hour of the night, he did bathe them from the blows, and was baptized, himself and all his presently,

³⁴ having brought them also into his house, he set food before them, and was glad with all the household, he having believed in God.

³⁵ And day having come, the magistrates sent the rod-bearers, saying, 'Let those men go;'

³⁶ and the jailor told these words unto Paul — 'The magistrates have sent, that ye may be let go; now, therefore, having gone forth go on in peace;'
