Acts 16:26 in Context — Acts 16

24 O qual, tendo recebido tal ordem, lançou-os na cela mais interna, e prendeu-lhes os pés no tronco.

25 E perto da meia-noite, Paulo e Silas [estavam] orando, e cantando hinos a Deus; [e] os [outros] presos os escutavam.

26 E de repente houve um terremoto tão grande que os alicerces da prisão se moviam; e logo todas as portas se abriram, e todas as correntes [que prendiam] a todos se soltaram.

27 E o carcereiro, tendo acordado e visto abertas todas as portas da prisão; puxou a espada, [e] estava a ponto de se matar, pensando que os presos tinham fugido.

28 Mas Paulo clamou em alta voz, dizendo: Não te faças nenhum mal, porque todos nós estamos aqui.
