Acts 16:25-31
''About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing songs to God as the other prisoners listened. Suddenly, there was a strong earthquake that shook the foundation of the jail.

Thinking that the prisoners had already escaped, he got his sword and was about to kill himself. But Paul shouted, 'Don't hurt yourself! We are all here.' The jailer told someone to bring a light.
