The joy of Paul and Silas must have increased when they were miraculously released from prison by an earthquake and were able to help the suicidal jailer and his family exercise faith in God. ​ — Acts 16: 26 - 34.
Pauluse ja Siilase rõõm suurenes ilmselt veelgi, kui nad maavärina tõttu imekombel vangist vabanesid ning said aidata vangivalvuril, kes tahtis endale otsa peale teha, ja ta perel ilmutada usku Jumalasse.
