Acts 16:30 (KJV)
Commentary on Acts 16:30
And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?—The Philippian jailer's question follows an earthquake that freed prisoners but didn't prompt escape, convincing him of divine intervention. His address 'Sirs' (κύριοι) shows respect; his question 'what must I do' (τί με δεῖ ποιεῖν) assumes salvation requires action. The Greek 'sōthō' (be saved) likely meant initially 'saved from consequences of prisoner escape' but Paul redirects to eternal salvation. This is Scripture's clearest statement of the seeker's question, receiving the clearest gospel answer (v.31).
