¹⁵And the officials were enraged at Jeremiah, and they beat him ^(A)and imprisoned him in the house of Jonathan the secretary, for it had been made a prison.

¹⁶^(B)When Jeremiah had come to the dungeon cells and remained there many days, ¹⁷King Zedekiah sent for him and received him. The king questioned him ^(C)secretly in his house and said, “Is there any word from the Lord?” Jeremiah said, “There is.” Then he said, ^(D)“You shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.” ¹⁸Jeremiah also said to King Zedekiah, “What wrong have I done to you or your servants or this people, ^(E)that you have put me in prison? ¹⁹^(F)Where are your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, ‘The king of Babylon will not come against you and against this land’? ²⁰Now hear, please, O my lord the king: ^(G)let my humble plea come before you and ^(H)do not send me back to the house of Jonathan the secretary, lest I die there.” ²¹So King Zedekiah gave orders, and they committed Jeremiah to ^(I)the court of the guard. And a loaf of bread was given him daily from the bakers' street, ^(J)until all the bread of the city was gone. So Jeremiah remained in ^(K)the court of the guard.

²²The crowd joined in attacking them, and the magistrates tore the garments off them and gave orders ^(A)to beat them with rods. ²³And when they had inflicted many blows upon them, they threw them into prison, ordering the jailer to keep them safely. ²⁴Having received this order, he put them into the inner ^(B)prison and fastened their feet in ^(C)the stocks.

The Philippian Jailer Converted

²⁵^(D)About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them, ²⁶and suddenly ^(E)there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately ^(F)all the doors were opened, and ^(G)everyone's bonds were unfastened. ²⁷When the jailer woke and saw that the prison doors were open, he drew his sword and ^(H)was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped. ²⁸But Paul cried with a loud voice, “Do not harm yourself, for we are all here.” ²⁹And the jailer^[a] called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he ^(I)fell down before Paul and Silas. ³⁰Then he brought them out and said, “Sirs, ^(J)what must I do to be ^(K)saved?” ³¹And they said, ^(L)“Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you ^(M)and your household.” ³²And they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house. ³³And he took them ^(N)the same hour of the night and washed their wounds; and he ^(O)was baptized at once, he and all his family. ³⁴Then he brought them up into his house and set food before them. And he ^(P)rejoiced along with his entire household that he had believed in God.

³⁵But when it was day, the magistrates sent the police, saying, “Let those men go.” ³⁶And the jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, “The magistrates have sent to let you go. Therefore come out now and go in peace.” ³⁷But Paul said to them, “They have beaten us publicly, ^(Q)uncondemned, men who are Roman citizens, and have thrown us into prison; and do they now throw us out secretly? No! Let them come themselves and take us out.” ³⁸The police reported these words to the magistrates, and ^(R)they were afraid when they heard that they were Roman citizens. ³⁹So they came and apologized to them. And they took them out and ^(S)asked them to leave the city. ⁴⁰So they went out of the prison and visited ^(T)Lydia. And when they had seen ^(U)the brothers, they encouraged them and departed.

⁴And when he had seized him, he put him ^(A)in prison, delivering him over to four ^(B)squads of soldiers to guard him, intending after the Passover to bring him out to the people. ⁵So Peter was kept in prison, but earnest ^(C)prayer for him was made to God by the church.

Peter Is Rescued

⁶Now when Herod was about to bring him out, on that very night, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, ^(D)bound with two chains, and sentries before the door were guarding the prison. ⁷And behold, ^(E)an angel of the Lord ^(F)stood next to him, and a light shone in the cell. ^(G)He struck Peter on the side and woke him, saying, “Get up quickly.” And ^(H)the chains fell off his hands. ⁸And the angel said to him, “Dress yourself and ^(I)put on your sandals.” And he did so. And he said to him, “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me.” ⁹And he went out and followed him. He did not know that what was being done by the angel was real, but ^(J)thought he was seeing a vision. ¹⁰When they had passed the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate leading into the city. ^(K)It opened for them of its own accord, and they went out and went along one street, and immediately the angel left him. ¹¹When Peter ^(L)came to himself, he said, “Now I am sure that ^(M)the Lord has sent his angel and ^(N)rescued me from the hand of Herod and from all that the Jewish people were expecting.”

¹²When he realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of ^(O)John whose other name was Mark, where many were gathered together and ^(P)were praying. ¹³And when he knocked at the door of the gateway, ^(Q)a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer. ¹⁴Recognizing Peter's voice, ^(R)in her joy she did not open the gate but ran in and reported that Peter was standing at the gate. ¹⁵They said to her, “You are out of your mind.” But she kept insisting that it was so, and they kept saying, “It is ^(S)his angel!” ¹⁶But Peter continued knocking, and when they opened, they saw him and were amazed. ¹⁷But ^(T)motioning to them with his hand to be silent, he described to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, “Tell these things to ^(U)James and to ^(V)the brothers.”^[a] Then he departed and went to another place.

¹⁸Now when day came, there was no little disturbance among the soldiers over what had become of Peter. ¹⁹And after Herod searched for him and did not find him, he examined the sentries and ^(W)ordered that they should be put to death. Then he went down from Judea to Caesarea and spent time there.
