The story: Paul and Silas were beaten and put in the inner prison with their feet fast in the stocks. At midnight they prayed and sang praises unto God, and a great earthquake opened all the doors and loosed every one's bands. The jailer asked, "What must I do to be saved?" They said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ," spake unto him the word of the Lord, and he was baptized, he and all his, straightway.
