25 Mutta keskiyön aikaan Paavali ja Silas olivat rukouksissa ja veisasivat ylistystä Jumalalle; ja vangit kuuntelivat heitä.

26 Silloin tapahtui yhtäkkiä suuri maanjäristys, niin että vankilan perustukset järkkyivät, ja samassa kaikki ovet aukenivat, ja kaikkien kahleet irtautuivat.

27 Kun vanginvartija heräsi ja näki vankilan ovien olevan auki, veti hän miekkansa ja aikoi surmata itsensä, luullen vankien karanneen.

29 Niin hän pyysi valoa, juoksi sisälle ja lankesi vavisten Paavalin ja Silaan eteen.

32 Ja he puhuivat Jumalan sanaa hänelle ynnä kaikille, jotka hänen kodissansa olivat.

33 Ja hän otti heidät mukaansa samalla yön hetkellä ja pesi heidän haavansa, ja hänet ja kaikki hänen omaisensa kastettiin kohta.

34 Ja hän vei heidät ylös asuntoonsa, laittoi heille aterian ja riemuitsi siitä, että hän ja koko hänen perheensä oli tullut Jumalaan uskovaksi.

25 But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns unto God, and the prisoners were listening to them; 26 and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison-house were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened; and every one’s bands were loosed. 27 And the jailor, being roused out of sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped. 28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here. 29 And he called for lights and sprang in, and, trembling for fear, 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, and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house. 32 And they spake the word of the Lord unto him, with 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, immediately. 34 And he brought them up into his house, and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly, with all his house, having believed in God.
