The crowd joined the attack against them, and the magistrates tore the clothes off Paul and Silas and ordered them to be beaten with rods.

About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the rest of the prisoners were listening to them.
Suddenly a great earthquake occurred, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. Immediately all the doors flew open, and the bonds of all the prisoners came loose.

But Paul called out loudly,“Do not harm yourself, for we are all here!”
