acts 16:24 Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks. - Free Bible Online

acts 16:24 and he, having received such a command, threw them into the inner prison, and fastened their feet in the stocks.


      24. made their feet fast in the stocks--an instrument of torture as well as confinement, made of wood bound with iron, with holes for the feet, which were stretched more or less apart according to the severity intended. (ORIGEN at a later period, besides having his neck thrust into an iron collar, lay extended for many days with his feet apart in the rack). Though jailers were proverbially unfeeling, the manner in which the order was given in this case would seem to warrant all that was done.
