And the magistrates, tearing their tunics, ordered them to be beaten with staffs. - 23 And when they had inflicted many scourges on them, they cast them into prison, instructing the guard to watch them diligently. - 24 And since he had received this kind of order, he cast them into the interior prison cell, and he restricted their feet with stocks. - 25 Then, in the middle of the night, Paul and Silas were praying and praising God. And those who were also in custody were listening to them. - 26 Yet truly, there was a sudden earthquake, so great that the foundations of the prison were moved. And immediately all the doors were opened, and the bindings of everyone were released. - 27 Then the prison guard, having been jarred awake, and seeing the doors of the prison open, drew his sword and intended to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had fled. - 28 But Paul cried out with a loud voice, saying: “Do no harm to yourself, for we are all here!” - 29 Then calling for a light, he entered. And trembling, he fell before the feet of Paul and Silas. - 30 And bringing them outside, he said, “Sirs, what must I do, so that I may be saved?” - 31 So they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and then you will be saved, with your household.” - 32 And they spoke the Word of the Lord to him, along with all those who were in his house. - 33 And he, taking them in the same hour of the night, washed their scourges. And he was baptized, and next his entire household. - 34 And when he had brought them into his own house, he set a table for them. And he was joyous, with his entire household, believing in God.

Read in the CPDV: [John 16](https://blessbible.app/bible/john/16/) Citations as published in the USCCB liturgical calendar. In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version. Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does. Spotted a wrong date, color or citation?
