ACTS 16:24 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.”
Upon receiving such orders, he put them in the inner cell and fastened their feet in the stocks — the jailer obeys carefully, placing them in the innermost cell (megara) for maximum security. The stocks (xylomachia, wooden foot-fastener) prevent movement and add physical agony to imprisonment.
