19AndG1161 when herG846 mastersG3588G2962 sawG3708 thatG3754 the hopeG3588G1680 of theirG846 gainsG3588G2039 was goneG1831, they caughtG1949 PaulG3588G3972 andG2532 SilasG3588G4609, and drewG1670 them intoG1519 the marketplaceG3588G58 untoG1909 the rulersG3588G758, 20AndG2532 broughtG4317 themG846 to the magistratesG3588G4755, sayingG3004, TheseG3778 menG3588G444, beingG5225 JewsG2453, do exceedingly troubleG1613 ourG1473 cityG3588G4172, 21AndG2532 teachG2605 customsG1485, whichG3739 areG1832 notG3756 lawfulG1832 for usG1473 to receiveG3858, neitherG3761 to observeG4160, beingG1510 RomansG4514. 22AndG2532 the multitudeG3588G3793 rose up togetherG4911 againstG2596 themG846: andG2532 the magistratesG3588G4755 rent offG4048 theirG846 clothesG3588G2440, and commandedG2753 to beatG4463 them. 23AndG5037 when they had laidG2007 manyG4183 stripesG4127 upon themG846, they castG906 them intoG1519 prisonG5438, chargingG3853 the jailorG3588G1200 to keepG5083 themG846 safelyG806: 24WhoG3739, having receivedG2983 suchG5108 a chargeG3852, thrustG906 themG846 intoG1519 the innerG2082 prisonG5438, andG2532 madeG805 theirG846 feetG3588G4228 fastG805 inG1519 the stocksG3588G3586.

25AndG1161 atG2596 midnightG3588G3317 PaulG3972 andG2532 SilasG4609 prayedG4336, and sang praisesG5214 unto GodG3588G2316: andG1161 the prisonersG3588G1198 heardG1874 themG846. 26AndG1161 suddenlyG869 there wasG1096 a greatG3173 earthquakeG4578, so thatG5620 the foundationsG3588G2310 of the prisonG3588G1201 were shakenG4531: andG5037 immediatelyG3916 allG3956 the doorsG3588G2374 were openedG455, andG2532 every one’sG3956 bandsG3588G1199 were loosedG447. 27AndG1161 the keeper of the prisonG3588G1200 awaking outG1096 of his sleepG1853, andG2532 seeingG3708 the prisonG3588G5438 doorsG3588G2374 openG455, he drew outG4685 his swordG3162, and wouldG3195 have killedG337 himselfG1438, supposing thatG3543 the prisonersG3588G1198 had been fledG1628. 28ButG1161 PaulG3588G3972 criedG5455 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, sayingG3004, DoG4238 thyselfG4572 noG3367 harmG2556: forG1063 we areG1510 allG537 hereG1759.
