Acts 16:25-33

New International Version

²⁵ About midnight^(A) Paul and Silas^(B) were praying and singing hymns^(C) to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. ²⁶ Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken.^(D) At once all the prison doors flew open,^(E) and everyone’s chains came loose.^{(F) 27} The jailer woke up, and when he saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself because he thought the prisoners had escaped.^{(G) 28} But Paul shouted, “Don’t harm yourself! We are all here!”

²⁹ The jailer called for lights, rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas.^{(H) 30} He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”^(I)

³¹ They replied, “Believe^(J) in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved^(K)—you and your household.”^{(L) 32} Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all the others in his house. ³³ At that hour of the night^(M) the jailer took them and washed their wounds; then immediately he and all his household were baptized.^(N)
