Matthew(i)
26 And sodenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundacion of the pryson was shaken, and by and by all the dores opened, and euery mannes bondes were loused.
27 When the keper of the pryson waked oute of hys slepe, and sawe the pryson dores open, he drue oute hys swearde, and woulde haue kylled hym selfe, supposynge the prysoners had bene fled.
28 But Paule cryed with a lowde voyce, saiyng: do thy selfe no harme, for we are all here.
29 Then he called for a lyght, and sprang in, and came tremblyng, and fell doune before Paule and Sylas,
30 and brought them out and sayde: Syr what muste I do to be saued?
31 And they sayd: beleue on the Lord Iesus & thou shalt be saued & thy housholde.
32 And they preached vnto him the worde of the Lorde, & to all that were in hys house.
33 And he toke them the same houre of the nyght, and washed theyr woundes, and was baptysed with all that belonged vnto him strayght waye.
34 When he had broughte them into hys house: he set meate before them, and ioyed that he with all hys housholde beleued on God.
35 And when it was daye, the offycers sente the ministers sayinge: Let those men go.
36 The keper of the pryson tolde this saiyng to Paul: the officers haue sent word to loose you. Now therfore get you hence, and go in peace.
37 Then sayde Paule vnto them. They haue beaten vs openly vncondempned, for all that we are Romaynes, and haue caste vs into pryson: & now woulde they sende vs awaye priuely? Naye not so, but let them come them selues, and set vs out.
38 When the ministers tolde these wordes vnto the offycers, they feared when they hearde that they were Romaynes,
39 and came and besought them, and brought them oute, & desyered them to departe out of the cytie.
40 And they went oute of the pryson, and entred into the housse, of Lydya, and when they had sene the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
