Acts 16: Πίστευσον

In Acts 16, Paul , Silas, Timothy, Luke are in Philippi. Paul and Silas were put in jail, but at night, there was a great earthquake that set them free. The jailer was responsible for them and he thought that they had feed from prison (as any normal man). Then, he decided to take his own life because he was afraid of the Roman punishment. When he was about to kill himself, Paul shouted at him, claiming not do that. The jailer asked what he should do to be saved (from the Roman punishment). 

31 They said, “Believe/Πίστευσον in the Lord/Κύριον Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” 32 And they spoke the word of God to him together with all who were in his house. 33 And he took them that very hour of the night and washed their wounds, and immediately he was baptized, he and all his household. 34 And he brought them into his house and set [j]food before them, and was overjoyed, since he had become a believer in God together with his whole household.

It is very interesting that the jailer was afraid of the Romans, but this was the process that guide him and his family to Jesus. The Lord has his ways to call people to him.
