Atos 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".

Atos 16:24 In-Context

22 A multidão ajuntou-se contra Paulo e Silas, e os magistrados ordenaram que se lhes tirassem as roupas e fossem açoitados.
23 Depois de serem severamente açoitados, foram lançados na prisão. O carcereiro recebeu instrução para vigiá-los com cuidado.
24 Tendo recebido tais ordens, ele os lançou no cárcere interior e lhes prendeu os pés no tronco.
25 Por volta da meia-noite, Paulo e Silas estavam orando e cantando hinos a Deus; os outros presos os ouviam.
26 De repente, houve um terremoto tão violento que os alicerces da prisão foram abalados. Imediatamente todas as portas se abriram, e as correntes de todos se soltaram.
