Acts 16:25-34

1599 Geneva Bible

^25 [a]Now at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sung Psalms unto God: and the prisoners heard them.

²⁶ And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundation of the prison was shaken: and by and by all the doors opened, and every man’s bands were loosed.

^27 [b]Then the keeper of the prison waked out of his sleep, and when he saw the prison doors open, he drew out his sword and would have killed himself, supposing the prisoners had been fled.

^28 [c]But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we all are here.

²⁹ Then he called for a light, and leaped in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas.

³⁰ And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

³¹ And they said, Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thine household.

³² And they preached unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in the house.

^33 [d]Afterward he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes, and was baptized with all that belonged unto him straightway.

³⁴ And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced that he with all his household believed in God.
