Acts 16:25-34

The Philippian Jailer Converted

25 But about midnight ^aPaul and Silas were praying and ^bsinging hymns of praise to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. 26 And suddenly ^athere came a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the jailhouse were shaken; and immediately ^ball the doors were opened and everyone’s ^cchains were unfastened. 27 And when ^athe jailer awoke and saw the prison doors opened, he drew his sword and was about ^bto kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped. 28 But Paul cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Do not harm yourself, for we are all here!” 29 And he called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before ^aPaul and Silas, 30 and after he brought them out, he said, “Sirs, ^awhat must I do to be saved?” 31 And they said, “^aBelieve in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and ^byour house.” 32 And they spoke the word of ¹the Lord to him together with all who were in his household. 33 And he took them ^athat very hour of the night and washed their wounds, and immediately he was baptized, he and all his household. 34 And he brought them into his house and set ¹food before them, and rejoiced ²greatly with ^ahis whole household, because he had believed in God.
