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 Cerca da meia-noite, quando Paulo e Silas oravam e cantavam hinos ao Senhor, escutados pelos outros presos, houve de súbito um grande terramoto; a prisão foi abalada até aos alicerces, as portas abriram-se, e tombaram por terra as cadeias de todos os presos!
27 O carcereiro acordou, viu as portas da prisão abertas e, julgando que os presos tinham escapado, puxou da espada para pôr fim à vida.
28 Mas Paulo gritou-lhe: Não faças isso! Estamos todos aqui!
29 Tremendo de terror, o carcereiro mandou vir luzes e, correndo à cela, lançou-se por terra diante de Paulo e Silas.
30 Trazendo-os para fora, perguntou-lhes: Meus senhores, que devo fazer para ser salvo?
31 Eles responderam: Crê no Senhor Jesus e serás salvo, tu e a tua casa.
32 Anunciaram-lhe então, a ele e a todos os seus familiares, as boas novas do Senhor
33 Naquela mesma hora, o carcereiro lavou-lhes os ferimentos e, com toda a sua família, foi baptizado
34 Depois, levando-os à casa onde morava, serviu-lhes uma refeição. Tanto ele como os seus estavam cheios de alegria por agora serem todos crentes em Deus!
