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.
25 Pela meia-noite Paulo e Silas oravam e cantavam hinos a Deus, enquanto os presos os escutavam.
26 De repente houve um tão grande terremoto que foram abalados os alicerces do cárcere, e logo se abriram todas as portas e foram soltos os grilhões de todos.
27 Ora, o carcereiro, tendo acordado e vendo abertas as portas da prisão, tirou a espada e ia suicidar-se, supondo que os presos tivessem fugido.
28 Mas Paulo bradou em alta voz, dizendo: Não te faças nenhum mal, porque todos aqui estamos.
29 Tendo ele pedido luz, saltou dentro e, todo trêmulo, se prostrou ante Paulo e Silas
30 e, tirando-os para fora, disse: Senhores, que me é necessário fazer para me salvar?
31 Responderam eles: Crê no Senhor Jesus e serás salvo, tu e tua casa.
32 Então lhe pregaram a palavra de Deus, e a todos os que estavam em sua casa.
33 Tomando-os ele consigo naquela mesma hora da noite, lavou-lhes as feridas; e logo foi batizado, ele e todos os seus.
34 Então os fez subir para sua casa, pôs-lhes a mesa e alegrou-se muito com toda a sua casa, por ter crido em Deus.
