25 And at midnight Paul and Silas, in praying, were praising God with singing, and the prisoners listened to them.

26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison shook, and all the doors were immediately opened, and the bonds of all loosed.

27 And the jailor being awakened out of his sleep, and seeing the doors of the prison opened, having drawn a sword was going to kill himself, thinking the prisoners had fled.

28 But Paul called out with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm, for we are all here.

29 And having asked for lights, he rushed in, and, trembling, fell down before Paul and Silas.

30 And leading them out said, Sirs, what must I do that I may be saved?

31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house.

32 And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, with all that were in his house.

33 And he took them the same hour of the night and washed {them} from their stripes; and was baptised, he and all his straightway.

34 And having brought them into his house he laid the table {for them}, and rejoiced with all his house, having believed in God.

25 Mas pela meia-noite Paulo e Silas oravam e cantavam hinos a Deus, e os presos escutavam-nos.

26 Subitamente houve um grande terremoto, de modo que foram abalados os alicerces do cárcere; logo se abriram todas as portas, e foram soltas as correntes de todos.

27 Tendo acordado o carcereiro, e vendo abertas as portas da prisão, tirou da espada e ia suicidar-se, supondo que os presos haviam fugido.

28 Mas Paulo bradou em alta voz: Não te faças nenhum mal, porque todos estamos aqui.

29 O carcereiro, tendo pedido uma luz, saltou dentro da prisão e, tremendo, lançou-se aos pés de Paulo e de Silas

30 e, tirando-os para fora, perguntou-lhes: Senhores, que me é necessário fazer para me salvar?

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

32 Anunciaram-lhe a palavra de Deus, e a todos os que estavam em sua casa.

33 Ele, naquela mesma hora da noite, tomando-os consigo, lavou-lhes as feridas, e foi logo batizado, ele e todos os seus.

34 Fazendo-os subir para sua casa, deu-lhes de comer e alegrou-se muito com toda a sua casa, por haver crido em Deus.
