Berean Standard Bible

“Then he brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?””

Acts 16:30

Save as image

Study note

While Paul and Silas sing, a violent earthquake shakes the prison, opens the doors and loosens everyone's chains. The jailer, waking to find the doors open and assuming the prisoners have escaped, draws his sword to kill himself, since he would face execution for losing them.
