25 E, perto da meia-noite, Paulo e Silas oravam e cantavam hinos a Deus, e os outros presos os escutavam.

26 E de repente sobreveio um tão grande terremoto, que os alicerces do cárcere se moveram, e logo se abriram todas as portas, e foram soltas as prisões de todos.

27 E, acordando o carcereiro, e vendo abertas as portas da prisão, tirou a espada, e quis matar-se, cuidando que os presos já tinham fugido.

28 Mas Paulo clamou com grande voz, dizendo: Não te faças nenhum mal, que todos aqui estamos.

29 E, pedindo luz, saltou dentro e, todo trêmulo, se prostrou ante Paulo e Silas.

30 E, tirando-os para fora, disse: Senhores, que é necessário que eu faça para ser salvo?

31 E eles disseram: Crê no Senhor Jesus Cristo e serás salvo, tu e a tua casa.

32 E lhe pregavam a palavra do Senhor, e a todos os que estavam em sua casa.

33 E, tomando-os ele consigo naquela mesma hora da noite, lavou-lhes os vergões; e logo foi batizado, ele e todos os seus.

34 E, levando-os à sua casa, lhes pôs a mesa; e alegrou-se de que com toda a sua casa havia crido em Deus.

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.
