Deeds (Act) of Apostles 16:23-35

²³And when they had given to them many wounds, they sent them into prison, and commanded to the keeper, that he should keep them diligently.

²⁴And when he had taken such a precept, he put them into the inner prison, and restrained the feet of them in a tree.

²⁵And at midnight Paul and Silas worshipped, and praised God; and they that were in the keeping, heard them.

²⁶And suddenly a great earth-moving was made, so that the foundaments of the prison were moved. And anon all the doors were opened, and the bonds of all were loosed.

²⁷And the keeper of the prison was awaked, and saw the gates of the prison opened, and with a sword drawn out he would have slain himself, and guessed that the men that were bound had fled.

²⁸But Paul cried with a great voice, and said, Do thou none harm or nothing of evil to thyself, for all we be here.

²⁹And he asked light, and entered, and trembled, and fell down to Paul and to Silas at their feet.

³⁰And he brought them withoutforth, and said, Lords, what behooveth me to do, that I be made safe?

³¹And they said, Believe thou in the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be safe, and thine house.

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

³³And he took them in the same hour of the night, and washed their wounds. And he was baptized, and all his house anon.

³⁴And 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.

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