25 Pela meia-noite Paulo e Silas oravam e cantavam hinos a Deus, enquanto os presos os escutavam.

26 De repente houve um tão grande terremoto que foram abalados os alicerces do cárcere, e logo se abriram todas as portas e foram soltos os grilhões de todos.

27 Ora, o carcereiro, tendo acordado e vendo abertas as portas da prisão, tirou a espada e ia suicidar-se, supondo que os presos tivessem fugido.

28 Mas Paulo bradou em alta voz, dizendo: Não te faças nenhum mal, porque todos aqui estamos.

29 Tendo ele pedido luz, saltou dentro e, todo trêmulo, se prostrou ante Paulo e Silas

30 e, tirando-os para fora, disse: Senhores, que me é necessário fazer para me salvar?

31 Responderam eles: Crê no Senhor Jesus e serás salvo, tu e tua casa.

32 Então lhe pregaram a palavra de Deus, e a todos os que estavam em sua casa.

33 Tomando-os ele consigo naquela mesma hora da noite, lavou-lhes as feridas; e logo foi batizado, ele e todos os seus.

34 Então os fez subir para sua casa, pôs-lhes a mesa e alegrou-se muito com toda a sua casa, por ter crido em Deus.

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.
