Acts 16:22-34

Young's Literal Translation

²² And the multitude rose up together against them, and the magistrates having torn their garments from them, were commanding to beat [them] with rods,

²³ many blows also having laid upon them, they cast them to prison, having given charge to the jailor to keep them safely,

²⁴ who such a charge having received, did put them to the inner prison, and their feet made fast in the stocks.

²⁵ And at midnight Paul and Silas praying, were singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were hearing them,

²⁶ and suddenly a great earthquake came, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken, opened also presently were all the doors, and of all -- the bands were loosed;

²⁷ and the jailor having come out of sleep, and having seen the doors of the prison open, having drawn a sword, was about to kill himself, supposing the prisoners to be fled,

²⁸ and Paul cried out with a loud voice, saying, `Thou mayest not do thyself any harm, for we are all here.'

²⁹ And, having asked for a light, he sprang in, and trembling he fell down before Paul and Silas,

³⁰ and having brought them forth, said, `Sirs, what must I do -- that I may be saved?'

³¹ and they said, `Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved -- thou and thy house;'

³² and they spake to him the word of the Lord, and to all those in his household;

³³ and having taken them, in that hour of the night, he did bathe [them] from the blows, and was baptized, himself and all his presently,

³⁴ having brought them also into his house, he set food before [them], and was glad with all the household, he having believed in God.
