Acts 16:19-28

19AndG1161 when herG846 mastersG2962 sawG1492 thatG3754 the hopeG1680 of theirG846 gainsG2039 was goneG1831, they caughtG1949 PaulG3972 andG2532 SilasG4609, and drewG1670 them intoG1519 the marketplaceG58 toG1909 the rulersG758,1 20AndG2532 broughtG4317 themG846 to the magistratesG4755, sayingG2036, TheseG3778 menG444, beingG5225 JewsG2453, do exceedingly troubleG1613 ourG2257 cityG4172, 21AndG2532 teachG2605 customsG1485, whichG3739 areG1832 notG3756 lawfulG1832 for usG2254 to receiveG3858, neitherG3761 to observeG4160, beingG5607 RomansG4514. 22AndG2532 the multitudeG3793 rose up togetherG4911 againstG2596 themG846: andG2532 the magistratesG4755 tore offG4048 theirG846 clothesG2440, and commandedG2753 to beatG4463 them . 23AndG5037 when they had laidG2007 manyG4183 stripesG4127 upon themG846, they castG906 them intoG1519 prisonG5438, chargingG3853 the jailorG1200 to keepG5083 themG846 safelyG806: 24WhoG3739, having receivedG2983 suchG5108 a chargeG3852, thrustG906 themG846 intoG1519 the innerG2082 prisonG5438, andG2532 madeG805 theirG846 feetG4228 fastG805 inG1519 the stocksG3586.

25AndG1161 atG2596 midnightG3317 PaulG3972 andG2532 SilasG4609 prayedG4336, and sang praisesG5214 to GodG2316: andG1161 the prisonersG1198 heardG1874 themG846. 26AndG1161 suddenlyG869 there wasG1096 a greatG3173 earthquakeG4578, so thatG5620 the foundationsG2310 of the prisonG1201 were shakenG4531: andG5037 immediatelyG3916 allG3956 the doorsG2374 were openedG455, andG2532 every one’sG3956 bandsG1199 were loosedG447. 27AndG1161 the keeper of the prisonG1200 awakingG1096 out of his sleepG1853, andG2532 seeingG1492 the prisonG5438 doorsG2374 openG455, he drew outG4685 his swordG3162, and wouldG3195 have killedG337 himselfG1438, supposingG3543 that the prisonersG1198 had fledG1628. 28ButG1161 PaulG3972 criedG5455 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, sayingG3004, DoG4238 thyselfG4572 noG3367 harmG2556: forG1063 we areG2070 allG537 hereG1759.
