Acts 16:19-28

19ButG1161 whenG2532 herG846 mastersG2962 sawG3708 thatG3754 theG3588 hopeG1680 ofG2962 theirG846 gain was goneG1831, theyG846 laid holdG1949 onG1909 PaulG3972 andG2532 SilasG4609, andG2532 draggedG1670 themG846 intoG1519 theG3588 marketplace beforeG1909 theG3588 rulersG758,

20andG2532 whenG2532 theyG846 had broughtG4317 themG846 unto theG3588 magistratesG4755, theyG846 saidG3004, TheseG3778 menG444, beingG5225 JewsG2453, doG3004 exceedingly trouble ourG2532 cityG4172,

21andG2532 set forthG4160 customsG1485 whichG3739 itG4160 isG1510 notG3756 lawfulG1832 forG2532 usG4160 toG2532 receiveG3858, orG3761 toG2532 observeG4160, beingG1510 RomansG4514.

22AndG2532 theG3588 multitudeG3793 roseG4911 upG4911 togetherG4911 againstG2596 themG846: andG2532 theG3588 magistratesG4755 rent theirG846 garmentsG2440 offG2596 themG846, andG2532 commandedG2753 toG2596 beat themG846 withG2596 rodsG4463.

23AndG5037 whenG846 theyG846 had laidG2007 manyG4183 stripes upon themG846, theyG846 castG906 themG846 intoG1519 prisonG5438, charging theG3588 jailor toG1519 keepG5083 themG846 safely:

24whoG3739, having receivedG2983 suchG5108 a chargeG3852, castG906 themG846 intoG1519 theG3588 innerG2082 prisonG5438, andG2532 madeG805 theirG846 feetG4228 fast inG1519 theG3588 stocksG3586.

25ButG1161 aboutG2596 midnightG3317 PaulG3972 andG2532 SilasG4609 were prayingG4336 andG2532 singingG5214 hymnsG5214 unto GodG2316, andG2532 theG3588 prisonersG1198 were listeningG1874 toG2596 themG846;

26andG2532 suddenlyG869 thereG1161 was a greatG3173 earthquakeG4578, soG2532 thatG5620 theG3956 foundationsG2310 ofG3956 theG3956 prison-house were shakenG4531: andG2532 immediatelyG3916 allG3956 theG3956 doorsG2374 were openedG455; andG2532 everyG3956 one’s bands were loosed.

27AndG2532 theG3588 jailor beingG1096 roused outG1438 ofG3588 sleep, andG2532 seeingG3708 theG3588 prisonG5438 doorsG2374 openG455, drewG4685 hisG3708 swordG3162, andG2532 was aboutG3195 toG3195 killG337 himselfG1438, supposingG3543 thatG3708 theG3588 prisonersG1198 had escapedG1628.

28ButG1161 PaulG3972 criedG5455 withG1510 aG1510 loudG3173 voiceG5456, sayingG3004, DoG4238 thyself noG3367 harmG2556: forG1063 weG1161 areG1510 allG537 hereG1759.
