but an angel of the Lord opened the prison-doors by night, and having brought them out, said to them,

the prison we found shut very secure, and the keepers posted before the doors: but when we had opened it, we found no body within.

when all of a sudden there was such a great earthquake, that the foundations of the prison were shaken: immediately all the doors opened, and the setters dropp'd from the prisoners.

the jayler waking, and seeing the prison-doors open, drew his sword, designing to dispatch himself from the apprehension that the prisoners had escaped.
