Acts 16:19-28
19And her mastersG2962, seeingG3708 that the hopeG1680 of their gains was goneG1831, having seized PaulG3972 and SilasG4609, dragged [them] into the market before the magistrates;
20and having broughtG4317 them up to the praetors, saidG3004, These menG444 utterly trouble our cityG4172, being JewsG2453,
21and announce customsG1485 which it isG1510 not lawfulG1832 for us to receiveG3858 nor practise, beingG1510 RomansG4514.
22And the crowdG3793 rose up too against them; and the praetors, having torn off their clothesG2440, commandedG2753 to scourge [them].
23And having 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 secured their feetG4228 to the stocks.
25And at midnightG3317 PaulG3972 and SilasG4609, in prayingG4336, were praising 1GodG2316 with singing, and the prisonersG1198 listened to them.
26And suddenlyG869 there was a greatG3173 earthquakeG4578, so that the foundationsG2310 of the prisonG1201 shook, and all the doorsG2374 were immediatelyG3916 openedG455, and the bonds of all loosed.
27And the jailor being awakened out of his sleep, and seeingG3708 the doorsG2374 of the prisonG5438 openedG455, having drawn a swordG3162 was going to kill himself, thinking the prisonersG1198 had fled.
28But PaulG3972 called out with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, sayingG3004, Do thyself no harmG2556, for we areG1510 all hereG1759.
