Acts 16:19-25

19Her masters’ hopes of wealth were now shattered, so they grabbed Paul and Silas and dragged them before the authorities at the marketplace.

20“The whole city is in an uproar because of these Jews!” they shouted to the city officials.

21“They are teaching customs that are illegal for us Romans to practice.”

22A mob quickly formed against Paul and Silas, and the city officials ordered them stripped and beaten with wooden rods.

23They were severely beaten, and then they were thrown into prison. The jailer was ordered to make sure they didn’t escape.

24So the jailer put them into the inner dungeon and clamped their feet in the stocks.

25Around midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening.
