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 E la folla si levò tutta insieme contro a loro; e i pretori, strappate loro di dosso le vesti, comandarono che fossero battuti con le verghe.
23 E dopo aver loro date molte battiture, li cacciarono in prigione, comandando al carceriere di custodirli sicuramente.
24 Il quale, ricevuto un tal ordine, li cacciò nella prigione più interna, e serrò loro i piedi nei ceppi.
25 Or sulla mezzanotte Paolo e Sila, pregando, cantavano inni a Dio; e i carcerati li ascoltavano.
26 E ad un tratto, si fece un gran terremoto, talché la prigione fu scossa dalle fondamenta; e in quell’istante tutte le porte si apersero, e i legami di tutti si sciolsero.
