But an angel of the Lord opening the prison doors by night led them out and said,

saying, The prison found we shut with all safety, and the guards standing before the doors, but opening we found no one within.

And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and all the doors were immediately opened, and the bands of all were removed.

And the jailer awaking from sleep and seeing the doors of the prison opened, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.
