Acts 16:22-27
22The crowd joined in the attack against them, and the chief magistrates stripped off their clothes and ordered them to be beaten with rods.
23After they had severely flogged them, they threw them in jail, ordering the jailer to guard them carefully.
24Receiving such an order, he put them into the inner prison and secured their feet in the stocks.
25About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.
26Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the jail were shaken, and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone’s chains came loose.
27When the jailer woke up and saw the doors of the prison standing open, he drew his sword and was going to kill himself, since he thought the prisoners had escaped.
