Acts 16:24-40

Wesley(i) 24 Who having received such a charge, threw them into the inner prison, and secured their feet in the stocks. 25 But at midnight Paul and Silas having prayed, sung an hymn to God: and the prisoners heard them. 26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands 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 the prisoners were fled. 28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm; for we are all here. 29 Then he called for lights, and sprang in, and trembling, fell down before Paul and Silas. 30 And having brought them out he said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31 And they said, Believe in the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved and thy houshold. 32 And they spake the word of the Lord to him 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 baptized, he and all his houshold. 34 And having brought them up into his house, he set a table before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with his whole house. 35 And when it was day, the pretors sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go. 36 And the jailor told these things to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go in peace. 37 But Paul said to them, They have beaten us publickly, uncondemned, and have cast us into prison, who are Romans: and do they now thrust us out privately? Nay verily: but let them come themselves and conduct us out. 38 And the serjeants reported these words to the pretors; and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans. 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.
