Acts 16:20-26

English Standard Version

²⁰ And when they had brought them to the magistrates, they said, “These men are Jews, and they are disturbing our city. ²¹ They ^(A)advocate customs that are not lawful for us ^(B)as Romans to accept or practice.” ²² The crowd joined in attacking them, and the magistrates tore the garments off them and gave orders ^(C)to beat them with rods. ²³ And when they had inflicted many blows upon them, they threw them into prison, ordering the jailer to keep them safely. ²⁴ Having received this order, he put them into the inner ^(D)prison and fastened their feet in ^(E)the stocks.

The Philippian Jailer Converted

^25 (F)About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them, ²⁶ and suddenly ^(G)there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately ^(H)all the doors were opened, and ^(I)everyone's bonds were unfastened.
