Today: Old City of Jerusalem
A city in the hills of Judea, about 22 miles (35 km) west of the Dead Sea and 35 miles (55 km) east of the Mediterranean.
David took it and made it his city (2 Sam 5:7); Solomon built the temple there (1 Kgs 8:1). Jesus was presented there, and the apostles' witness began from it (Luke 2:22; Acts 1:8).
3Paul wanted this man to go out with him, and taking him, he circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those places, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

What do Paul and Silas do at midnight in prison, and what happens afterward? (vv. 25-26)
2. What it means
Why does the jailer ask what he must do, and how do Paul and Silas answer him? (vv. 27-31)
3. How I live it
Paul and Silas prayed and sang on a very hard night (v. 25). What gives you courage when you go through a night like that?
