وَلَمَّا اسْتَيْقَظَ حَافِظُ السِّجْنِ، وَرَأَى أَبْوَابَ السِّجْنِ مَفْتُوحَةً، اسْتَلَّ سَيْفَهُ وَكَانَ مُزْمِعًا أَنْ يَقْتُلَ نَفْسَهُ، ظَانًّا أَنَّ الْمَسْجُونِينَ قَدْ هَرَبُوا.

But Paul, as he was recommended by the brethren to the grace of God, so his services for Christ after this are largely recorded; we are to attend him in this chapter from place to place, wherever he came doing good, either watering or planting, beginning new work or improving what was done. Here is, I. The beginning of his acquaintance with Timothy, and taking him to be his assistant (Act 16:1-3). II. The visit he made to the churches for their establishment (Act 16:4, Act 16:5). III. His call to Macedonia (after a restraint he had been under from going to some other places), and his coming to Philippi, the chief city of Macedonia, with his entertainment there (Act 16:6-13). IV. The conversion of Lydia there (Act 16:14, Act 16:15). V. The casing of an evil spirit out of a damsel (Act 16:16-18). VI. The accusing and abusing of Paul and Silas for it, their imprisonment, and the indignities done them (Act 16:19-24). VII. The miraculous conversion of the jailer to the faith of Christ (Act 16:25-34). VIII. The honourable discharge of Paul and Silas by the magistrates (Act 16:35-40).

He was baptized with his household and rejoiced in his newfound faith as he reached out with hospitality to the preachers. 16:27 The Roman jailer clearly knew that his life could be forfeited if the prisoners for whom he was responsible escaped. This was standard practice (12:19; 27:42; cp. Code of Justinian 9.4.4).

وَأَمَّا هِيرُودُسُ فَلَمَّا طَلَبَهُ وَلَمْ يَجِدْهُ فَحَصَ الْحُرَّاسَ، وَأَمَرَ أَنْ يَنْقَادُوا إِلَى الْقَتْلِ. ثُمَّ نَزَلَ مِنَ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ إِلَى قَيْصَرِيَّةَ وَأَقَامَ هُنَاكَ.
فَطَرَحَ الْفِضَّةَ فِي الْهَيْكَلِ وَانْصَرَفَ، ثُمَّ مَضَى وَخَنَقَ نَفْسَهُ.
وَأَمَّا أَخِيتُوفَلُ فَلَمَّا رَأَى أَنَّ مَشُورَتَهُ لَمْ يُعْمَلْ بِهَا، شَدَّ عَلَى الْحِمَارِ وَقَامَ وَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ إِلَى مَدِينَتِهِ، وَأَوْصَى لِبَيْتِهِ، وَخَنَقَ نَفْسَهُ وَمَاتَ وَدُفِنَ فِي قَبْرِ أَبِيهِ.
وَلَمَّا رَأَى زِمْرِي أَنَّ الْمَدِينَةَ قَدْ أُخِذَتْ، دَخَلَ إِلَى قَصْرِ بَيْتِ الْمَلِكِ وَأَحْرَقَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ بَيْتَ الْمَلِكِ بِالنَّارِ، فَمَاتَ
فَدَعَا حَالاً الْغُلاَمَ حَامِلَ عُدَّتِهِ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «اخْتَرِطْ سَيْفَكَ وَاقْتُلْنِي، لِئَلاَّ يَقُولُوا عَنِّي: قَتَلَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ». فَطَعَنَهُ الْغُلاَمُ فَمَاتَ.
