And immediatly were all the dores open, & all their bondes lowsed 27 Wha the keper of the preson waked out of slepe, and sawe the preson dores open, he drue out his swerde, and wolde haue kylled him selfe: for he thoughte ye presoners had bene fled. 28 But Paul cryed loude, and sayde: Do thy self no harme, for we are all here. 29 He called for a lighte, and sprange in, and trembled, and fell at the fete of Paul and Sylas, 30 and broughte them out, and sayde: Syrs, what must I do, to be saued? 31 They sayde: Beleue on the LORDE Iesus, and so shalt thou and thy housholde be saued. 32 And they preached the worde of the LORDE vnto him, and to all that were in his house. 33 And he toke them to him in the same houre of the night, and wasshed their strypes.

Now therfore get you hece, and go in peace. 37 But Paul sayde vnto them: They haue beaten vs openly vncondempned (where as we are yet Romaynes) and haue cast vs in preson, and shulde they now thrust vs out preuely? Not so, but let them come them selues, and brynge vs out. 38 The mynisters tolde these wordes vnto the officers. And they feared, whan they herde that they were Romaynes, 39 and came and besoughte them, and prayed the to departe out of the cite. 40 Then wente they out of the preson, and entred in to the house of Lydia. And whan they had sene the brethren and comforted them, they departed.
