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 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto 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’s 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 thyself 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 thou shalt be saved, and thy house. 32 And they spake unto 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.
