Paul and Silas imprisoned
Acts 16:19-34
16:19But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers.
16:20When they had brought them to the magistrates, they said, “These men, being Jews, are agitating our city
16:21and advocate customs which it is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being Romans.”
16:22The multitude rose up together against them and the magistrates tore their clothes from them, then commanded them to be beaten with rods.
16:23When they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely.
16:24Having received such a command, he threw them into the inner prison and secured their feet in the stocks.
16:25But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.
16:26Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone’s bonds were loosened.
16:27The jailer, being roused out of sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.
16:28But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, “Don’t harm yourself, for we are all here!”
16:29He called for lights, sprang in, fell down trembling before Paul and Silas,
16:30brought them out, and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
