Jailer (jailor)
A jailer is woken in the night by an earthquake, sees the prison doors open, and draws his sword to kill himself, supposing the prisoners had fled. Paul calls out, “Do thyself no harm: for we are all here” (Acts 16:28). The man falls trembling before Paul and Silas and asks, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” The answer is short, and then his whole household hears the word. He washes their wounds, is baptized the same hour, and sets a meal before them, rejoicing. Acts 16:25-34 holds the entire scene.
