16:25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying 5 and singing hymns to God, 6 and the rest of 7 the prisoners were listening to them. 16:26 Suddenly a great earthquake occurred, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. Immediately all the doors flew open, and the bonds 8 of all the prisoners came loose. 16:27 When the jailer woke up 9 and saw the doors of the prison standing open, 10 he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, 11 because he assumed 12 the prisoners had escaped.
