Acts 16:26-40

Living_Oracles(i) 26 And, on a sudden, there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prisoner were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and the bonds of all the prisoners were loosed. 27 And the jailor, awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the doors of the prison opened, drew his sword, and was going to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners were fled. 28 But Paul cried out, with a loud voice, saying, Do yourself no harm, for we are all here. 29 And he called for lights, and sprung in; and, being in a tremor, fell down before Paul and Silas; 30 and, bringing them out, he said, O Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31 And they said, Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved, and your house. 32 And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. 33 And taking them, that very hour of the night, he washed their stripes; and was immediately immersed, himself, and all his. 34 And having brought them into his house, he spread the table before them: and believing in the God, with all his house, he was transported with joy. 35 And when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, Dismiss those men. 36 And the keeper of the prison told these things to Paul, The generals have sent that you may be dismissed; now, therefore, go out, and pursue your journey in peace. 37 But Paul said to them, They have beaten us, who are Romans, publicly and uncondemned, and have cast us into prison; and do they now thrust us out privately? By no means: but let them come themselves, and conduct us out. 38 And the sergeants reported these words to the generals. And when they had heard that they were Romans, they were afraid: 39 and they came and comforted them; and conducting them out, requested that they would depart from the city. 40 And coming out of the prison, they entered into the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
