[20] And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble city, [21] And teach customs, which not lawful to receive, neither to observe, Romans. [22] And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat [23] And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely: [24] Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and their feet fast in the stocks. [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: 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 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 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 do to be saved? [31] And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus and thou shalt be saved, and 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, meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God his house. [35] And when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, those men go. [36] And the keeper of the prison told saying to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go in peace. [37] But Paul said unto them, They have beaten openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves out. [38] And the serjeants words unto the magistrates: they feared, when they heard that Romans. [39] And they came and besought them, and brought them out, and desired of the city. [40] And they went the prison, and entered the house of Lydia: and the brethren, they comforted and departed.
