Expanded Bible

²⁷ The jailer woke up and saw that the ·jail [prison] doors were open. Thinking that the prisoners had already escaped, he got his sword and was about to kill himself [^Cbeing responsible, he would suffer punishment and shame for their escape]. ²⁸ But [^Lwith a great/loud voice] Paul shouted, “Don’t hurt yourself! We are all here.”

²⁹ The jailer ·told someone to bring a light [^Lasked for lights]. Then he ·ran [rushed] inside and, shaking with fear, fell down before Paul and Silas.
