FAQ
The Bible contains several accounts of the apostles being jailed. For example, in Acts 4, Peter and John were taken into custody for teaching that Jesus is the Messiah. After being questioned, they were let go and told not to talk about Jesus anymore. In Acts 12, King Herod put Peter in jail.
The outcome of the apostles' imprisonment after their arrest in Jerusalem varied. Some were released and continued preaching, while others spent the remainder of their lives in prison.
The liberation of the apostle Peter is an event described in chapter 12 of the Acts of the Apostles, where the apostle Peter is rescued from prison by an angel.
They arrested the apostles and put them in the public jail. But that night an angel of the Lord opened the prison gates, led the apostles out, and said to them, “Go and stand in the Temple, and tell the people all about this new life.” The apostles obeyed, and at dawn they entered the Temple and started teaching.
The skin refers to his martyrdom: Saint Bartholomew was flayed alive and beheaded on an evangelical mission to the East. Thus, tanners and artisans who worked with animal skins venerated Saint Bartholomew, making him their patron saint.
The charges levied against Paul were that he was a “pestilent fellow” (meaning he was an annoyance who endangered society), that he was the leader of a seditious group, and that he had profaned the temple (see Acts –6).
Paul was held in house arrest. “When we entered Rome, Paul was allowed to live by himself with the soldier who guarded him” (Acts ). He may have been chained to his guard (Acts ), but he enjoyed relative freedom. “Many came to him at his lodging.
After Jesus returned to his Father in heaven, the apostles preached to the people about Jesus. This angered the high priest and the Sadducees, who had the apostles thrown in jail. During the night, an angel of the Lord came to the jail and opened the doors.
