Acts 16:27 - Forerunner Commentary

Acts 16:27

The Philippian Jailer Saved

25 But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.

26 ^aSuddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately ^ball the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were loosed.

27 And the keeper of the prison, awaking from sleep and seeing the prison doors open, supposing the prisoners had fled, drew his sword and was about to kill himself.

28 But Paul called with a loud voice, saying, “Do yourself no harm, for we are all here.”

29 Then he called for a light, ran in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas.

30 And he brought them out and said, ^a“Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”

31 So they said, ^a“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
