Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Acts 16:23-24

_ _ when they had laid many stripes upon them — the bleeding wounds from which they were not washed till it was done by the converted jailer (Acts 16:33).

_ _ charged the jailer ... who ... thrust them into the inner prison — “pestilential cells, damp and cold, from which the light was excluded, and where the chains rusted on the prisoners. One such place may be seen to this day on the slope of the Capitol at Rome” [Howson].

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Acts 16:16-24.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Acts 16:23

They laid many stripes upon them — Either they did not immediately say they were Romans, or in the tumult it was not regarded. Charging the jailer — Perhaps rather to quiet the people than because they thought them criminal.
