    “The jailer called for lights, rushed in and fell trembling


    before Paul and Silas. He then brought them out and
    asked, ‘Sirs, what must I do to be saved?’”
    “They replied, ‘Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be
    saved – you and your household.’ Then they spoke the
    word of the Lord to him and to all the others in his house.”
    “At that hour of the night the jailer took them and washed
    their wounds; then immediately he and all his family were
    baptized. The jailer brought them into his house and set a
    meal before them; he was filled with joy because he had
    come to believe in God – he and his whole family.”
    Acts 16:29-34 (NIV)
