And a messenger of the Lord by night opened the doors of the prison, and having brought them forth, said,

Saying, That we truly found the prison shut with all security, and the watch standing without before the doors: and having opened, we found none within.

And suddenly was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and the bonds of all were let loose.

And the jailor being awakened, and having seen the doors of the prison opened, having drawn a sword, was about to kill himself, supposing the imprisoned to have fled.

And the whole city was moved, and there was a concourse of the people: and having taken up Paul, they drew him out of the temple: and quickly the doors were shut.
