Paul’s suffering in Phillipi

The conversion and Baptism of the prison officer

In middle of the night, Paul and Silas started praying and singing songs to God. Then the walls of the prison were shaken and the doors were opened. The chains that tied the hands and legs of the prisoners were cut off. The prison officer wanted to kill himself because he thought that the prisoners had run away. Paul told him not to hurt himself because no prison was missing.

He ran and fell down in front of Paul and Silas. Paul told him to believe in the Lord Jesus and he was saved with is household and Baptized. He took care of Paul and Silas.

Paul and Silas became free

The prison officer took Paul and Silas to his house and gave them food. The next morning, the leaders sent more soldiers to release them. Paul said they would not leave quietly. He told the leaders to come and bring them out because they did not allow them to say anything before they were put in prison. The leaders came and told them were sorry.
