But Paul cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Do not harm yourself, for we are all here!"  And he called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas,  and after he brought them out, he said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" • Outcome: • Contagious Salvations • “their wounds were healed”
