ACTS 16:32 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.”
At that hour of the night the jailer took them and washed their wounds; then immediately he and his entire household were baptized — the jailer's reversal of roles is striking: from enforcer of confinement to servant, washing (apolouō) the apostles' wounds incurred under his guards. The immediate baptism (baptizo) at midnight emphasizes faith's urgency and the household's corporate conversion.
