    Paul and Silas were imprisoned for preaching about Jesus, and were beaten. In the middle of the night, as they prayed and sang hymns, there was a great earthquake that opened all the prison doors. The jailer thought the prisoners had escaped and was about to kill himself, but Paul called out to him. The jailer then asked Paul and Silas what he must do to be saved, and they told him to believe in Jesus. The jailer and his whole household were then baptized after Paul and Silas shared God's word with them.
