31 (A)And in the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth day of the month, Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, graciously freed[a] (B)Jehoiachin king of Judah and brought him out of prison. 32 And he spoke kindly to him and gave him a seat above the seats of (C)the kings who were with him in Babylon. 33 So Jehoiachin put off his prison garments. And every day of his life he dined regularly at the king's table, 34 and for his allowance, a regular allowance was given him by the king, according to his daily needs, until the day of his death, as long as he lived.

English Standard Version
26 and suddenly (A)there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately (B)all the doors were opened, and (C)everyone's bonds were unfastened. 27 When the jailer woke and saw that the prison doors were open, he drew his sword and (D)was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped. 28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, “Do not harm yourself, for we are all here.” 29 And the jailer[a] called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he (E)fell down before Paul and Silas. 30 Then he brought them out and said, “Sirs, (F)what must I do to be (G)saved?” 31 And they said, (H)“Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you (I)and your household.” 32 And they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house. 33 And he took them (J)the same hour of the night and washed their wounds; and he (K)was baptized at once, he and all his family. 34 Then he brought them up into his house and set food before them. And he (L)rejoiced along with his entire household that he had believed in God.
35 But when it was day, the magistrates sent the police, saying, “Let those men go.” 36 And the jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, “The magistrates have sent to let you go. Therefore come out now and go in peace.” 37 But Paul said to them, “They have beaten us publicly, (M)uncondemned, men who are Roman citizens, and have thrown us into prison; and do they now throw us out secretly? No! Let them come themselves and take us out.” 38 The police reported these words to the magistrates, and (N)they were afraid when they heard that they were Roman citizens. 39 So they came and apologized to them. And they took them out and (O)asked them to leave the city. 40 So they went out of the prison and visited (P)Lydia. And when they had seen (Q)the brothers, they encouraged them and departed.

He did not know that what was being done by the angel was real, but (F)thought he was seeing a vision. 10 When they had passed the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate leading into the city. (G)It opened for them of its own accord, and they went out and went along one street, and immediately the angel left him.
