Paul and Silas were full of praise, singing and praying. Yet they were locked in the depths of a dark prison cell in Philippi. They had been arrested and flogged for preaching the gospel and releasing a demonised slave girl from her oppression (Acts 16:16-21). The authorities assumed that, with their ankles trapped by stocks in the innermost part of the jail, they would be safely out of the way of a vengeful crowd (Acts 16:22-24). The last thing the city leaders wanted was a riot: that would show their weak management and risk their careers, or possibly their lives.
