25 Por volta da meia-noite, Paulo e Silas oravam e cantavam louvores a Deus, e os demais companheiros de prisão escutavam. 26 De repente, sobreveio tamanho terremoto, que sacudiu os alicerces da prisão; abriram-se todas as portas, e soltaram-se as cadeias de todos.

27 O carcereiro despertou do sono e, vendo abertas as portas do cárcere, puxando da espada, ia suicidar-se, supondo que os presos tivessem fugido. 28 Mas Paulo bradou em alta voz: Não te faças nenhum mal, que todos aqui estamos! 29 Então, o carcereiro, tendo pedido uma luz, entrou precipitadamente e, trêmulo, prostrou-se diante de Paulo e Silas. 30 Depois, trazendo-os para fora, disse: Senhores, que devo fazer para que seja salvo? 31 Responderam-lhe: Crê no Senhor Jesus e serás salvo, tu e tua casa. 32 E lhe pregaram a palavra de Deus e a todos os de sua casa. 33 Naquela mesma hora da noite, cuidando deles, lavou-lhes os vergões dos açoites. A seguir, foi ele batizado, e todos os seus. 34 Então, levando-os para a sua própria casa, lhes pôs a mesa; e, com todos os seus, manifestava grande alegria, por terem crido em Deus.

25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises to God: and the prisoners heard them.

26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one' bands were loosed.

27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.

28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do yourself no harm: for we are all here.

29 Then he called for a light, and sprang 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 on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved, and your house.

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

33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.

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