25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other 

prisoners were listening to them. 26 Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the 

foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everyone’s 

chains came loose. 27 The jailer woke up, and when he saw the prison doors open, he drew his 

sword and was about to kill himself because he thought the prisoners had escaped. 28 But Paul 

shouted, “Don’t harm yourself! We are all here!”
