Hechos 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".

Hechos 16:24 In-Context

22 Entonces la multitud se amotinó contra Pablo y Silas, y los magistrados mandaron que les arrancaran la ropa y los azotaran.
23 Después de darles muchos golpes, los echaron en la cárcel, y ordenaron al carcelero que los custodiara con la mayor seguridad.
24 Al recibir tal orden, este los metió en el calabozo interior y les sujetó los pies en el cepo.
25 A eso de la medianoche, Pablo y Silas se pusieron a orar y a cantar himnos a Dios, y los otros presos los escuchaban.
26 De repente se produjo un terremoto tan fuerte que la cárcel se estremeció hasta sus cimientos. Al instante se abrieron todas las puertas y a los presos se les soltaron las cadenas.
