Atti 16:24 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 16:24

Who having received such a charge
So strict an one from the magistrates, was doubly careful and diligent: thrust them into the inner prison:
the innermost part of it, the lowest or furthest part of the prison; so that there were the more doors, bolts, and bars, to break open, and pass through, should they attempt to make their escape: and made their feet fast in the stocks;
or "wood", a wooden machine, in which the feet of prisoners were put for security, and which we call "the stocks"; some say it was such an one, in which the neck as well as the feet were put, and so might be the same with our "pillory".

Atti 16:24 In-Context

22 La moltitudine ancora si levò tutta insieme contro a loro; e i pretori, stracciate loro le vesti, comandarono che fosser frustati.
23 E dopo aver loro data una gran battitura, li misero in prigione, comandando al carceriere di guardarli sicuramente.
24 Il quale, ricevuto un tal comandamento, li mise nella prigione più addentro, e serrò loro i piedi ne’ ceppi.
25 Or in su la mezzanotte, Paolo e Sila, facendo orazione, cantavono inni a Dio; e i prigioni li udivano.
26 E di subito si fece un gran tremoto, talchè i fondamenti della prigione furono scrollati; e in quello stante tutte le porte si apersero, e i legami di tutti si sciolsero.
