Paul and Silas were imprisoned and released (Part 3) The jailer assumed the prisoners had escaped, so he drew a sword to kill himself but Paul yelled at him, don’t do it! we are here.

Acts 16:29-36 Trembling with fear, the jailer called for light and ran to the dungeon and fell down before Paul and Silas. ²⁹ He brought them out and begged them, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” ³¹ They replied, “Believe on the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, and your entire household.” ³² They told him and all his household the Good News from the Lord.

³³ That same hour he washed their stripes and he and all his family were baptized. ³⁴ Then he brought them up into his house and set a meal before them. How he and his household rejoiced because all were now believers!

³⁵ The next morning the judges sent police officers over to the jailer, “Let those men go!” ³⁶ So the jailer told Paul they were free to leave. ” Hold on to the Lord our God with an unshakeable faith!” Amen.
