Psalms 107:10
107:10 They sat in utter darkness,
bound in painful iron chains,
Psalms 146:7
146:7 vindicates the oppressed,
and gives food to the hungry.
The Lord releases the imprisoned.
Zechariah 9:11-12
9:11 Moreover, as for you, because of our covenant relationship secured with blood, I will release your prisoners from the waterless pit.
9:12 Return to the stronghold, you prisoners, with hope; today I declare that I will return double what was taken from you.
Acts 5:18-19
5:18 They
laid hands on
the apostles and put them in a public jail.
5:19 But during the night an angel of the Lord
opened
the doors of the prison,
led them out,
and said,
Acts 12:4-11
12:4 When he had seized him, he put him in prison, handing him over to four squads
of soldiers to guard him. Herod
planned
to bring him out for public trial
after the Passover.
12:5 So Peter was kept in prison, but those in the church were earnestly
praying to God for him.
12:6 On that very night before Herod was going to bring him out for trial,
Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, while
guards in front of the door were keeping watch
over the prison.
12:7 Suddenly
an angel of the Lord
appeared, and a light shone in the prison cell. He struck
Peter on the side and woke him up, saying, “Get up quickly!” And the chains fell off Peter’s
wrists.
12:8 The angel said to him, “Fasten your belt
and put on your sandals.” Peter
did so. Then the angel
said to him, “Put on your cloak
and follow me.”
12:9 Peter
went out
and followed him;
he did not realize that what was happening through the angel was real,
but thought he was seeing a vision.
12:10 After they had passed the first and second guards,
they came to the iron
gate leading into the city. It
opened for them by itself,
and they went outside and walked down one narrow street,
when at once the angel left him.
12:11 When
Peter came to himself, he said, “Now I know for certain that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued
me from the hand
of Herod
and from everything the Jewish people
were expecting to happen.”
Ephesians 3:1
Paul's Relationship to the Divine Mystery
3:1 For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles –
Revelation 2:10
2:10 Do not be afraid of the things you are about to suffer. The devil is about to have some of you thrown
into prison so you may be tested,
and you will experience suffering
for ten days. Remain faithful even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown that is life itself.
