What Does Acts 16:28 Mean?
From the inner darkness Paul perceives the danger and cries out in time. The astonishing news is that no one has run. The prisoners who listened to the midnight singing have stayed, and their staying saves the keeper's life.
'Do thyself no harm' is the gospel's word to every desperate soul: stop, there is another way. Paul values the life of the man who fastened his feet in the stocks; grace declines the revenge an earthquake made easy. A death is halted so that a new life can begin.
