Acts 16:24 Context
22And the multitude rose vp together against them, and the Magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beate them. 23And when they had layed many stripes vpon them, they cast them into prison, charging the Iaylour to keepe them safely. 24Who hauing receiued such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, & made their feet fast in the stockes. 25¶ And at midnight, Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises vnto God: and the prisoners heard them. 26And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doores were opened, and euery ones bands were loosed.
