Acts 16:26-28
1599 Geneva Bible
26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundation of the prison was shaken: and by and by all the doors opened, and every man’s bands were loosed.
27 [a]Then the keeper of the prison waked out of his sleep, and when he saw the prison doors open, he drew out his sword and would have killed himself, supposing the prisoners had been fled.
28 [b]But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we all are here.
