Acts 16:22-27
22The crowdG3793 roseG4911 up togetherG4911 againstG2596 them, and the chiefG4755 magistratesG4755 toreG4048 their 1robesG2440 offG4048 them and proceeded to orderG2753 2them to be 3beatenG4463 with rodsG4463. 23When they had struckG2007 them with manyG4183 blowsG4127, they threwG906 them into prisonG5438, commandingG3853 4the jailerG1200 to guardG5083 them securelyG806; 245and he, having receivedG2983 suchG5108 a commandG3852, threwG906 them into the innerG2082 prisonG5438 and fastenedG805 their feetG4228 in 6the 7stocksG3586.
25But aboutG2596 midnightG3317 8PaulG3972 and SilasG4609 were prayingG4336 and 9singingG5214 hymnsG5214 of praiseG5214 to GodG2316, and the prisonersG1198 were listeningG1874 to them; 26and suddenlyG869 10there cameG1096 a greatG3173 earthquakeG4578, soG5620 that the foundationsG2310 of the prisonG1201 houseG1201 were shakenG4531; and immediatelyG3916 11allG3956 the doorsG2374 were openedG455 and everyone’sG3956 12chainsG1199 were unfastenedG447. 27When 13the jailerG1200 awokeG1853 and sawG3708 the prisonG5438 doorsG2374 openedG455, he drewG4685 his swordG3162 and was aboutG3195 14to killG337 himselfG1438, supposingG3543 that the prisonersG1198 had escapedG1628.
