Acts 16:25

The Conversion Of The Philippian Jailer

²⁴ On receiving so strict an order, the Governor put them into the inner cell, and secured their feet in the stocks. ²⁵ About midnight, while Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and while the prisoners were listening to them, ²⁶ Suddenly there was an earthquake of such violence that the Jail was shaken to its foundations; all the doors flew open, and all the prisoners' chains were loosened.
