Acts 16:30-34
30 And he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 31 So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.” 32 Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house. 33 And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes. And immediately he and all his family were baptized. 34 Now when he had brought them into his house, he set food before them; and he rejoiced, having believed in God with all his household.
When the jailer saw God's fearful work to free Paul, he was convicted of his need for God's deliverance from His judgment. So he believed on Jesus Christ as Lord, the sovereign God who moves earth and the heavens. The jailer's household heard and believed with active trust as well, and they were baptized to echo the inner transformation of God in each of them. They were washed clean from sin by His saving grace and made new.
