Acts 16:30

And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
Read Chapter 16

John Chrysostom

AD 407
Do you mark how the wonder overpowered him? (a) He wondered more at Paul's kindness; he was amazed at his manly boldness, that he had not escaped when he had it in his power, that he hindered him from killing himself. (c) And they said, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved, and your house. And they spoke unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.

John Chrysostom

AD 407
Why, what had they said? Observe, he does not, on finding himself safe, think all is well; he is overcome with awe at the miraculous power. Do you mark what happened in the former case, and what here? There a girl was released from a spirit, and they cast them into prison, because they had liberated her from the spirit. Here, they did but show the doors standing open, and it opened the doors of his heart, it loosed two sorts of chains; that (prisoner) kindled the (true) light; for the light in his heart was shining. And he sprang in, and fell before them; and he does not ask, How is this? What is this? But straightway he says, What must I do to be saved? What then answers Paul? Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved, you and your house.

Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation - 2 Peter 1:20
