at the feet of Paul and Silas;
016:030 and, bringing them out of the prison, he exclaimed, "O sirs,
what must I do to be saved?"
016:031 "Believe on the Lord Jesus," they replied, "and both you
and your household will be saved."
016:032 And they told the Lord's Message to him as well as to all
who were in his house.
016:033 Then he took them, even at that time of night, washed their wounds,
and he and all his household were immediately baptized;
016:034 and bringing the Apostles up into his house, he spread a meal
for them, and was filled with gladness, with his whole household,
his faith resting on God.
016:035 In the morning the praetors sent their lictors with the order,
"Release those men."
016:036 So the jailer brought Paul word, saying, "The praetors have sent
orders for you to be released. Now therefore you can go,
and proceed on your way in peace."
016:037 But Paul said to them, "After cruelly beating us in public,
without trial, Roman citizens though we are, they have thrown us
into prison, and are they now going to send us away privately?
No, indeed! Let them come in person and fetch us out."
016:038 This answer the lictors took back to the praetors, who were alarmed
when they were told that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens.
016:039 Accordingly they came and apologized to them; and, bringing them out,
asked them to leave the city.
016:040 Then Paul and Silas, having come out of the prison, went to
Lydia's house; and, after seeing the brethren and encouraging them,
they left Philippi.
017:001 Then, passing through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they went
to Thessalonica. Here there was a synagogue of the Jews.
