Acts 16:22-34

Acts 16:22-34

[22] And  the multitude  rose up together  against  them:  and  the magistrates  rent off  their  clothes,  and commanded  to beat  [23] And  when they had laid  many  stripes  upon them,  they cast  them into  prison,  charging  the jailor  to keep  them  safely:  [24] Who,  having received  such  a charge,  thrust  them  into  the inner  prison,  and  their  feet  fast  in  the stocks.  [25] And  at  midnight  Paul  and  Silas  prayed,  and sang praises  unto God:  and  the prisoners  heard  them.  [26] And  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  bands  were loosed.  [27] And  the keeper of the prison  awaking  out of his sleep,  and  the prison  doors  open,  he drew out  his sword,  and would  have killed  himself,  supposing  that the prisoners  had been fled.  [28] But  Paul  cried  with a loud  voice,  saying,  Do  thyself  no  harm:  for  all  here.  [29] Then  he called  for a light,  and sprang in,  and  came  trembling,  and fell down before  Paul  and  Silas,  [30] And  brought  them  out,  and said,  Sirs,  what  must  do  to  be saved?  [31] And  they said,  Believe  on  the Lord  Jesus  and  thou  shalt be saved,  and  house.  [32] And  they spake  unto him  the word  of the Lord,  and  to all  that were in  his  house.  [33] And  he took  them  the same  hour  of the night,  and washed  their stripes;  and  was baptized,  he  and  all  his,  straightway.  [34] And  when he had brought  them  into  his house,  meat  before them,  and  rejoiced,  believing  in God  his  house.
