Notes

Acts 16:31–34

Paul and Silas directed the jailer to a faith in Christ that brings blessing both to him and to his family. The whole household received Christian instruction, and their response was expressed in baptism and the offering of hospitality to Paul and Silas.

Acts 16:27–36

Luke’s third story in Philippi is of the Philippian jailer who, shaken by what had happened, responded in faith when challenged to accept the Lord Jesus and be saved. He was baptized with his household and rejoiced in his newfound faith as he reached out with hospitality to the preachers.

Acts 16:13–36

Luke shares stories of three people in Philippi affected by the gospel:

a wealthy woman (16:14–15),
a demon-possessed slave girl exploited for money (16:16–21), and
a middle-ranking officer (16:23–36).
