John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 16:34

And when he had brought them into his house ,.... After he and his family had been baptized, either in the pool in the prison, or in the river near the city of Philippi: he set meat before them ; he spread a table for them, with provisions to refresh them after all their fatigue; partly by stripes and imprisonment, partly by the exercises of prayer and praise, and also by the ministration of the word, and the administration of the ordinance of baptism to the jailer and his family: and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 16:35

And when it was day ,.... In one copy Beza says, these words are added, "the magistrates came together in one place in the court, and remembering the earthquake that was made, they were afraid, and sent the sergeants;' but they seem to be no other than a gloss, which crept into the text; however, it seems reasonable to suppose, that in the morning the magistrates met together, to consider what was further to be done with Paul and Silas; when upon cooler thoughts, they judged it best to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 16:36

And the keeper of the prison told this, saying to Paul ,.... The Ethiopic version adds, "and to Silas"; this was the same person with the jailer, whom Paul had baptized; and indeed, the same word is here used, though a little differently rendered, who no doubt reported this message to Paul with great joy: the magistrates have sent to let you go ; they have sent an order to let you out of prison: now therefore depart, and go in peace; which expresses the jailer's pleasure of mind, and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 16:37

But Paul said unto them ,.... The sergeants, who were present when the jailer reported to Paul the message they came with from the magistrates; though the Syriac version reads in the singular number, "Paul said to him", to the jailer: they have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison ; what the magistrates ordered to be done to them, is reckoned all one as if they had done it themselves; and which was done "openly", before all the people, in the most... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 16:38

And the sergeants told these words unto the magistrates ,.... They returned to them, and acquainted them with what the prisoners said: and they feared when they heard that they were Romans ; they were not concerned for the injury they had done them; nor for the injustice and cruelty they had been guilty of; nor did they fear the wrath of God, and a future judgment; but they were put into a panic, when they found the men they had so ill used were Romans; lest they should be called to an... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 16:39

And they came ,.... To the prison in person, as Paul had insisted on they should: and besought them ; that they would put up the injury that had been done them, and quietly depart out of prison: and brought them out ; that is, out of prison; took them by the arms, and led them out, as they had put them in, which was what the apostle required: and desired them to depart out of the city ; lest there should be any further disturbance about them: in Beza's most ancient copy, and in... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 16:40

And they went out of the prison ,.... In a public manner, with great honour and reputation, at the request of the magistrates that put them there: and entered into the house of Lydia; whom Paul had baptized, Acts 16:14 . The word "house" is rightly supplied, for the sense is not, that they went into the country of Lydia, as some have been tempted to think; but they went to the woman Lydia, whose heart the Lord had opened, and was become a disciple and follower of Christ; they went to... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 16:27

The keeper of the prison - would have killed himself - Every jailor was made responsible for his prisoner, under the same penalty to which the prisoner himself was exposed. The jailor, awaking, and finding the prison-doors open, taking it for granted that all the prisoners had made their escape, and that he must lose his life on the account, chose rather to die by his own hand than by that of others. For it was customary among the heathens, when they found death inevitable, to take away... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 16:28

Do thyself no harm - As it was now dark, being midnight, St. Paul must have had a Divine intimation of what the jailor was going to do; and, to prevent it, cried out aloud, Do thyself no harm, for we are all here. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 16:29

He called for a light - That he might see how things stood, and whether the words of Paul were true; for on this his personal safety depended. Came trembling - Terrified by the earthquake, and feeling the danger to which his own life was exposed. Fell down before Paul and Silas - The persons whom a few hours before he, according to his office, treated with so much asperity, if not cruelty, as some have supposed; though, by the way, it does not appear that he exceeded his orders in... read more
