Acts 16:27-29

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁷ The prison guard woke up. He saw that the prison doors were open. He thought that all the people in the prison had become free. He decided that he should kill himself. So he pulled out his sword.^[a]

²⁸ Paul shouted very loudly to him, ‘Do not hurt yourself! We are all still in here!’

²⁹ The guard said, ‘Bring me some lights.’ Then he ran to the prison room where Paul and Silas were. He was very frightened. He went down on his knees in front of them.
