Acts 16:19-28
19But when her mastersG2962 sawG3708 that the hopeG1680 of their gain was goneG1831, they laid holdG1949 on PaulG3972 and SilasG4609, and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulersG758, 20and when they had broughtG4317 them unto the magistrates, they saidG3004, These menG444, being JewsG2453, do exceedingly trouble our cityG4172, 21and set forth customsG1485 which it isG1510 not lawfulG1832 for us to receiveG3858, or to observe, beingG1510 RomansG4514. 22And the multitudeG3793 rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent their garmentsG2440 off them, and commandedG2753 to beat them with rodsG4463. 23And when they had laidG2007 manyG4183 stripes upon them, they castG906 them into prisonG5438, charging the jailor to keepG5083 them safely: 24who, having receivedG2983 such a chargeG3852, castG906 them into the inner prisonG5438, and made their feetG4228 fast in the stocks. 25But about midnightG3317 PaulG3972 and SilasG4609 were prayingG4336 and singing hymnsG5214 unto GodG2316, and the prisonersG1198 were listening to them; 26and suddenlyG869 there was a greatG3173 earthquakeG4578, so that the foundationsG2310 of the prison-house were shakenG4531: and immediatelyG3916 all the doorsG2374 were openedG455; and every one’s bands were loosed. 27And the jailor, being roused out of sleep and seeingG3708 the prisonG5438 doorsG2374 openG455, drew his swordG3162 and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisonersG1198 had escapedG1628. 28But PaulG3972 cried with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, sayingG3004, Do thyself no harmG2556: for we areG1510 all hereG1759.
