25 But about the middle of the night, Paul and Silas were making prayers and songs to God in the hearing of the prisoners;

26 And suddenly there was an earth-shock, so that the base of the prison was moved: and all the doors came open, and everyone's chains came off.

27 And the keeper, coming out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, took his sword and was about to put himself to death, fearing that the prisoners had got away.

28 But Paul said in a loud voice, Do yourself no damage, for we are all here.

29 And he sent for lights and came rushing in and, shaking with fear, went down on his face before Paul and Silas,

30 And took them out and said, Sirs, what have I to do to get salvation?

31 And they said, Have faith in the Lord Jesus, and you and your family will have salvation.

32 And they gave the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house.

33 And that same hour of the night, he took them, and when he had given attention to their wounds, he and all his family had baptism straight away.

34 And he took them into his house and gave them food, and he was full of joy, having faith in God with all his family.

25 约在半夜， 保罗和西拉祈祷歌颂 神， 囚犯们都侧耳听着。

26 忽然发生了大地震， 以致监牢的地基都摇动起来， 所有的监门立刻开了， 囚犯的锁链都松了。

27 狱吏醒过来， 看见监门全开， 以为囚犯都已经逃脱了， 就拔出刀来想要自刎。

28 保罗大声呼叫说： "不要伤害自己， 我们都在这里！ "

29 狱吏叫人拿了灯来， 就冲进去， 战战兢兢地俯伏在保罗和西拉面前，

30 随后领他们出来， 说： "先生， 我应该作什么才可以得救？"

31 他们说： "当信主耶稣， 你和你一家人都必定得救。"

32 他们就把主的道， 讲给他和他全家的人听。

33 就在当夜的那个时候， 狱吏领他们去洗伤， 狱吏和他家人都受了洗，

34 就带他们到家里， 摆上饭食， 他和全家因信了 神就大大喜乐。
