'Prisoners' in the Bible

But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.

The jailer, being roused out of sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.

When it was determined that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan band.

The soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.

When we entered into Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard, but Paul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier who guarded him.
