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 to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. 26 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone’s bonds were loosened. 27 The jailer, 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, "Don’t harm yourself, for we are all here!"

29 He called for lights, sprang in, fell down trembling before Paul and Silas, 30 brought them out, and said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"

31 They said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household." 32 They spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all who were in his house.

33 He took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes, and was immediately baptized, he and all his household. 34 He brought them up into his house and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly with all his household, having believed in God.
