📚 Contexto Histórico
In the book of Acts, Paul and Silas were wrongfully imprisoned in Philippi after being accused of promoting an alternative religion that disrupted local customs. That night, an earthquake divinely shook the prison, opening the doors and freeing the prisoners' chains, which led the jailer to wake in panic. In Roman society, a prison guard who allowed escapes faced execution as punishment, explaining the jailer's immediate desperation to end his own life.
