Actes 16:27

And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.

Et le gardien de la prison se réveillant de son sommeil et voyant les portes de la prison ouvertes, il a sorti son épée et se serait suicidé, en supposant que les prisonniers avaient fui - sachant que sa vie était perdue dans ce cas (voir Actes 12:19; Actes 27:42) .
