25 But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening.

26 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. Immediately all the doors were opened and every one's fetters were loosed.

27 The jailer, waking from sleep and seeing the doors of the prison open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, thinking that the prisoners had escaped.

28 But Paul said with a loud voice, "Do no harm to yourself, for we are all here."

29 Calling for a light he sprang in and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas,

30 and led them out and said, "Men, what must I do to be saved?"

31 They said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, and your household,"

32 and they told the message of God to him and to all who were in his house.

33 He took them at that hour of the night and washed their stripes. Then he was baptized, he and all of his household, immediately.

34 He brought them into his house and spread the table for them, and rejoiced with his whole family because he had believed in God.
