Acts 16:22–32 · BSB
16:22 The crowd joined in the attack against Paul and Silas, and the magistrates ordered that they be stripped and beaten with rods.
16:23 And after striking them with many blows, they threw them into prison and ordered the jailer to guard them securely.
16:24 On receiving this order, he placed them in the inner cell and fastened their feet in the stocks.
16:25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.
16:26 Suddenly a strong earthquake shook the foundations of the prison. At once all the doors flew open and everyone’s chains came loose.
16:27 When the jailer woke up and saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, presuming that the prisoners had escaped.
16:28 But Paul called out in a loud voice, “Do not harm yourself! We are all here!”
16:29 Calling for lights, the jailer rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas.
16:30 Then he brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
16:31 They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, you and your household.”
16:32 Then Paul and Silas spoke the word of the Lord to him and to everyone in his house.
