"And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their wounds; and he was baptized at once, he and all his family."

Acts 16:33 provides an example of what is often referred to as "household baptism." This passage is part of the story of the Philippian jailer who, after a miraculous prison escape by Paul and Silas, comes to faith in Jesus Christ along with his entire household. That night, without delay, he and all his family were baptized.
