📚 Historical Context
In the ancient city of Philippi, Paul and Silas were wrongfully imprisoned after casting out a spirit from a slave girl, which angered her owners and led to their arrest and beating. An earthquake shook the prison, opening the doors and making the jailer believe the prisoners had escaped, prompting him to consider suicide out of fear of punishment. Paul called out to stop him, assuring him that no one had fled, which led to the jailer's desperate question about salvation.
