Acts 16:33,34

Acts 16:33,34 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway. And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house. When the jailor was saved, his heart was totally changed! He was a new man! He took Paul and Silas to his house and cleaned up their bleeding backs. He put food before them and they had a great time rejoicing in Jesus Christ. I am sure none of them slept any more that night! All of them were so excited! Early the next morning, Paul and Silas gladly went back to their prison cell. The city rulers sent word for the jailor to let them go. “May be they have learned a lesson,” the magistrates thought. But Paul had a naughty idea. “We’re not leaving,” he said to the city representative. “We are Roman citizens and you have beaten us unlawfully,” Paul went on. “Let them come down here and fetch us out themselves!” he said. Well now, that was different. Now the city rulers were embarrassed and in big trouble. To beat a Roman citizen unlawfully was big trouble. They hurried down to the prison and begged Paul and Silas to leave. Paul hung around Philippi as long as he wished and then left as slowly as he pleased. He left Lydia and the jailor and all of their households as new converts to the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ!
