25 But at midnight Paul and Silas, praying, continued to sing praises 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 all the doors were immediately opened, and the bonds of all were loosed.
27 And the jailer, being awakened, and seeing the doors of the prison open, seizing a sword, was about to kill himself, thinking that his prisoners had escaped.
28 But Paul shouted with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are here.
29 And having asked for a light, he sprang in, and being alarmed, he fell down before Paul and Silas,
30 and leading them out said, Sirs, what does it behoove me to do in order that I may be saved?
31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou and thy household shall be saved.
32 And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, along with all who were in his house.
33 And taking them that hour of the night, he washed the blood from their stripes; and he and his were baptized immediately:
34 and leading them into his house, he set a table by them, and rejoiced throughout his house, having believed in God.
35 But it being day, the magistrates sent the lictors, saying, Send away these men.
36 And the jailer proclaimed these words to Paul, The magistrates have sent word that you may be released: now therefore having gone out, depart in peace.
37 But Paul said to them, Having beaten us publicly uncondemned, being Roman men, they cast us into prison, and now do they cast us out privately? for no; but having come themselves let them lead us out.
38 And the lictors proclaimed these words to the magistrates. And hearing that they are Romans, they were alarmed;
39 and having come they called for them, and leading them out, requested them to go away from their city.
40 And having come out from the prison they came to Lydia, and seeing the brethren, comforted them, and departed.
