Theological / Devotional

The prisoner. Gr. desmios, “[one] in bonds,” “a captive,” “a prisoner.” The word does not necessarily mean that Paul was bound with chains, though ordinarily a prisoner in military custody would have been bound to his attending soldier (see on chs. 21:33; 23:16).

Prayed. That is, asked.
