Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body.
For the
Lord hears the needy and does not despise his own people who are prisoners.
For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ ...
To hear the groans of the prisoners, to set free those who were doomed to die,
The Spirit of the Lord
God is upon me, because the
Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
Let the groans of the prisoners come before you; according to your great power, preserve those doomed to die!
About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them,
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed,
Who executes justice for the oppressed, who gives food to the hungry. The
Lord sets the prisoners free;
He will not crush the weakest reed or put out a flickering candle. He will bring justice to all who have been wronged.
