    The Conversion of the Philippian Jailer (Acts16:25-40)


    At about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing
    hymns to God. Suddenly, there was a great earthquake which shook
    the foundations of the prison, threw all the doors open, and the
    prisoners' chains broke loose. The jailer awoke and saw the opened
    prison doors, thinking all the prisoners had escaped. He drew his
    sword and was about to kill himself but Paul cried out to him:
    “Do not harm yourself, for we are all here.”(Acts 16:28)
    The jailer rushed in trembling with fear, fell before Paul and Silas and
    asked what he must do to be saved. They told him to believe in the
    Lord Jesus. He took them home, washed their wounds and fed them.
    They preached the Good News to him and his household, they
    believed and were all baptized.
    The next day, the magistrates sent word to release the apostles but
    they refused. Paul said:
    “They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men who are
    Roman citizens, and have thrown us into prison; and do they now
    throw us out secretly? No! Let them come themselves and take us
    out.”
    When the magistrates heard they were Romans, they were
    afraid. They went and apologized to them, took them out and asked
    them to leave the city. They visited Lydia and the other brethren to
    bid them farewell before leaving the city.

    Home Fun.

    Paul meets Opposition in Thessalonica (Acts 17:1-9)


    When the apostles left Philippi, they went to Thessalonica
    where there was a Jewish synagogue.
    Paul spent three (3) weeks arguing with the Jews about the
    scripture explaining that it was necessary for Christ to suffer, die and
    rise from the dead. He proclaimed Jesus as the Christ.
    Some of the God-fearing Greeks, some Jews and a few prominent
    women were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas. The other Jews
    were jealous and set the city in confusion. They attacked the house
    of Jason where the apostles were staying. When they could not find
    them, they dragged Jason before the city authorities.
    They accused Paul and Silas of acting against the decrees of
    Caesar (The Roman Emperor) by saying that there is another king,
    Jesus. The city authorities and people were disturbed. They collected
    security (fine) from Jason and others before releasing them.
    That night, the believers sent Paul and Silas away to Berea.

    Home Fun.
