Earthquake and salvation

25Around midnight, Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. 26Suddenly there was a huge earthquake, which shook the foundations of the prison. At once all the doors flew open, and everyone’s chains became loose. 27When the jailer woke up and saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped. 28But Paul shouted at the top of his voice, ‘Don’t harm yourself! We’re all still here!’

29The jailer called for lights and rushed in. Trembling all over, he fell down before Paul and Silas. 30Then he brought them outside.

‘Gentlemen,’ he said, ‘will you please tell me how I can get out of this mess?’

31‘Believe in the Lord Jesus,’ they replied, ‘and you will be rescued – you and your household.’

32And they spoke the word of the Lord to him, with everyone who was in his house. 33He took them, at that very hour of the night, and washed their wounds. Then at once he was baptized, and all his household with him. 34Then he took them into his house, put food on the table, and rejoiced with his whole house that he had believed in God.
