25 Por volta da meia-noite, Paulo e Silas estavam orando e cantando hinos a Deus; os outros presos os ouviam.

26 De repente, houve um terremoto tão violento que os alicerces da prisão foram abalados. Imediatamente todas as portas se abriram, e as correntes de todos se soltaram.

27 O carcereiro acordou e, vendo abertas as portas da prisão, desembainhou sua espada para se matar, porque pensava que os presos tivessem fugido.

28 Mas Paulo gritou: "Não faça isso! Estamos todos aqui! "

29 O carcereiro pediu luz, entrou correndo e, trêmulo, prostrou-se diante de Paulo e Silas.

30 Então levou-os para fora e perguntou: "Senhores, que devo fazer para ser salvo? "

31 Eles responderam: "Creia no Senhor Jesus, e serão salvos, você e os de sua casa".

32 E pregaram a palavra de Deus, a ele e a todos os de sua casa.

33 Naquela mesma hora da noite o carcereiro lavou as feridas deles; em seguida, ele e todos os seus foram batizados.

34 Então os levou para a sua casa, serviu-lhes uma refeição e com todos os de sua casa alegrou-se muito por haver crido em Deus.

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.
