Hechos 16:28 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 16:28

But Paul cried with a loud voice
Knowing by divine revelation, what the jailer was about to do; though being in the innermost prison, in a dark dungeon, he could not see him, unless it can be thought, that the opening of the doors had let in light sufficient; and it may be also, that he knew in the same way, what designs of grace God had towards this man and his family: saying, do thyself no harm;
which is an instance of great tenderness, humanity, and love, to one that had used him and his companion with so much severity and cruelty: for we are all here;
not only Paul and Silas, but the rest of the prisoners also; who either being so intent upon hearing the prayers and praises of the apostles, or so terrified with the earthquake, that they took no notice of their bands being loosed, and so never thought or attempted to make their escape; and as for Paul and Silas, all this happened to them, not for their deliverance in this way, as in the case of Peter, but to show the power of God, what he could do, and his presence with his servants.

Hechos 16:28 In-Context

26 De repente, hubo un gran terremoto y la cárcel se sacudió hasta sus cimientos. Al instante, todas las puertas se abrieron de golpe, ¡y a todos los prisioneros se les cayeron las cadenas!

27 El carcelero se despertó y vio las puertas abiertas de par en par. Dio por sentado que los prisioneros se habían escapado, por lo que sacó su espada para matarse;

28 pero Pablo le gritó: «¡Detente! ¡No te mates! ¡Estamos todos aquí!».

29 El carcelero pidió una luz y corrió al calabozo y cayó temblando ante Pablo y Silas.

30 Después los sacó y les preguntó:
—Señores, ¿qué debo hacer para ser salvo?
