Paul and Silas in prison Bible lesson for children with worksheets, coloring pages, crafts, story, games and activities and more. Based on Acts 16. Paul and Silas are freed from prison by an earthquake. The jailer of the prison becomes a believer in Jesus Christ. He and his family are baptized.
In Acts 16:16-40, we learn that Paul and Silas were thrown in a Philippian prison. An earthquake occurred, freeing the prisoners, and the jailer, who was responsible for all of them, almost took his own life. However, Paul reassured the jailer they were not going to escape. That night, the jailer and the members of his household became believers in Jesus.
This is such a fun lesson! Review: Last week we talked about Paul going to Philippi in Macedonia and he was talking to Lydia. She made purple cloth and sold it. It was very hard to make, and it was worth a lot of money. Lydia begged them to stay at her house after she was baptized. Her whole household believed in Jesus and were baptized. Silas, Timothy and Luke were also with Paul. Click here to download poster. Lesson Acts 16:16-40: Paul and Silas, Timothy & Luke (Luke states "US") were walking through the streets of Philippi in Macedonia to go pray. They saw a servant girl acting strange. The men that owned her made a lot of money from her because she did fortunetelling. The girl followed Paul shouting out that “These men are servants of the Most High God and they can tell us the way of salvation!” She did this for days and one day Paul was very irritated. Paul turned around and told the spirit that was in her to come out. The evil spirit in her went out, but her masters didn’t like that because now she wouldn’t be making all that money for them. They dragged Paul and Silas into the marketplace to the authorities. They told the judges that Paul and Silas had brought a lot of trouble to the city. They said that Paul and Silas were teaching customs that were against their laws. The people were angry and the judges tore off Silas and Paul's coats and commanded that they be beaten. After the people beat Paul and Silas, they were thrown in prison. The jailer was told to keep them securely locked. He was to make sure they couldn't escape, so the jailer put them in an inner prison and put their feet in stocks. But at midnight, Paul and Silas were praying and singing to God. The other prisoners were listening to them. Can you imagine being beaten, thrown in prison and then singing? (Acts 16:26) Suddenly, there was a great earthquake. The foundation of the prison shook and all the doors opened and the chains were free from everyone. The prison guard woke up and saw that the doors of the prison were opened up and he drew his sword and was going to kill himself. But Paul shouted out "Don't do that!" because everything was Ok, everyone was still there. The guard called for a light and ran to Paul and Silas and asked: “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” They told him that first, he had to believe in Jesus. Paul and Silas told the guard and his household about Jesus and within an hour that night, the household washed the stripes from the beating off of Paul and Silas. Immediately the guard and ALL his family were baptized. They went back to the guard’s house and ate while the guard rejoiced because his whole family believed in God. Click here to download. The next day the judges came to the jailers house to tell Paul and Silas they were free to leave, but Paul said "We are Romans, and we were beaten in public and thrown in prison, and now the judges want us to leave secretly? Absolutely Not!" (Because it looked like Paul and Silas had done something wrong.) Paul said to let them come and apologize in person. When the officers heard that they were Romans, they were scared. They went to Paul and Silas and pleaded with them and asked them to leave the city. Paul and Silas left the prison and went back to Lydia’s house. They stayed there for many days, worshipping with the other Christians. Paul and Silas left Philippi. Luke stayed there, historians think for maybe five years. The wording in Acts changed from Luke saying 'we' to 'them'. We are not sure where Timothy went, but he is not mentioned being with Paul & Silas in the next chapter. I have used several different visuals over the years, and this tabletop prison is one of them. I use Paul and David (for Silas) as the prisoners. I purchased the big outside plastic chain in October, and the small chains inside attached to the walls are found in the jewelry dept. at the craft stores. They are necklace chains. The foot shackles are foam painted to look like wood. These photos are to show you the size of my prison and the basics of how it was made. The bars are dowel rods painted silver, and the whole prison was spray painted with the textured spray paint. It is 2 feet wide, 22" front to back and 11" high. I printed the soldiers to add to the scene. You can print Paul, Silas and the Roman soldiers here if you would like to make your own prison, or other project. You can print them here: Click here to print in color. Click here to print in B/W. There is a song with printables available to print also. I used this with my Granddaughter (preschool) and she likes the visuals on craft (large) sticks. It would work well on a small magnet board if you put magnets on the backs of each visual and added each one as you sing the song. You can print it here. And, I do realize that Paul and Silas would have been shackled differently, but the only clipart I could find to use is the handcuffs. So, it is a good way to discuss prison life during that time. Click here to print a couple of pictures to color that match the 2 prison visuals above. This is the front and back of the Teacher keys. The teacher keys have the directions to glue to the backs of each key. Here are the keys to print. Again, there are a couple of choices. The first ones are in color.

This week we studied Paul and Silas. This is a really fun lesson! We also learn about Paul being a Roman citizen and how important that was in Paul's time. Last week we talked about Paul going to Philippi in Macedonia and he was talking to Lydia. She made purple cloth and sold it. It was very hard to make, and it was worth a lot of money. Her whole household believed in Jesus and were baptized. Silas, Timothy and Luke were also with Paul. Lydia begged them to stay at her house after she was baptized. Today our lesson is found in Acts 16:16-40. Paul and Silas, Timothy & Luke (Luke states "US") were walking through the streets of Philippi in Macedonia on their way to pray. They saw a servant girl acting strange. The men that owned her made a lot of money from her because she did fortunetelling. The girl followed Paul shouting out that “These men are servants of the Most High God and they can tell us the way of salvation!” She did this for days and one day Paul was very irritated. Paul turned around and told the spirit that was in her to come out. The evil spirit in her went out, but her owners didn’t like it because now she wouldn’t be making all that money for them. They dragged Paul and Silas into the marketplace to the authorities. They told the judges that Paul and Silas had brought a lot of trouble to the city. They claimed that Paul and Silas were teaching customs that were against their laws. The crowd of people were angry and the judges tore off Silas and Paul's coats and commanded that they be beaten. After the people beat Paul and Silas, they were thrown in prison. The jailer was told to keep them securely locked. He was to make sure they couldn't escape, so the jailer put them in an inner prison and put their feet in stocks. But at midnight, Paul and Silas were praying and singing to God.

They went to Paul and Silas and pleaded with them and asked them to leave the city. Paul and Silas left the prison and went back to Lydia’s house. They stayed there for many days, worshipping with the other Christians. Paul and Silas left Philippi, but Luke stayed longer. The wording in Acts changed from Luke saying 'we' to 'them'. We are not sure where Timothy went, but he is not mentioned being with Paul & Silas in the next chapter. Updated file! I added this Foldable later. I really wanted some type of Q&A worksheet, but fun, interesting, since I have mostly boys. So, this includes the color and black & white. You can also just use the inside if you prefer. The answers are on the last page. Click here to download an updated file. I created these chains for Paul and Silas because the kids loved the Samson ones so much! It is such a basic project... and they really loved it! They are black and white only so you can print on any color paper. You can use for review or have the students put them together as you discuss the lesson. I added numbers to this set, because it is easier since they really wanted to make the chain in order. There is a space on the right side to tuck under and staple the rings together. Click here to print the chains. The students are adding something each week to their IFA bags. You can see them here. This week we added handcuffs for Paul & Silas being in prison purchased here. Click here to print the worksheet. You can find all the Acts worksheets here.

Many times in the New Testament we find the disciples of Jesus in prison. They are there due to a lifestyle which disrupted the comfortable. They were revolutionizing things, and some people were not in favor of such a revolution. Paul and Silas are in prison for ruining a business while liberating a young girl. Peter and John are imprisoned for speaking about Jesus. Paul is in prison again for something else, then writes a letter. Jesus is arrested, Stephen is put on trial, and on and on and on. These followers of Jesus followed him even into chains, for which they rejoiced. Paul and Silas show this rejoicing well as they sing in their cell. They are then set free by an earthquake and they subsequently set free the jailer from his chains and show him the superior kingdom of God. It is up for debate as to which escape from jail is cooler; Paul and Silas' earthquake or Peter being set free by an angel. Either way, they would only take the silver. Jesus has the gold in that department. Anyway, on to the craft! Here's what thou dost need: Graham Crackers Frosting Pretzels Gummi Bears A frosting-spreading utensil A plate or base I've chosen a flowery plate because I found it in a cabinet. Feel free to choose birds or a volcano scene. Step 1: Break the graham cracker in half on the perforated line. Think to yourself, "I've never considered that paper and crackers both have perforations." Step 2: Put the frosting-mortar around the edge base. Step 3: Put the prison bar pretzels up! It might be easier to put the frosting on them one-by-one to get them to stand up mightily enough, like our friendly stalagmites. PRO-TIP: DO NOT ATTEMPT AFTER CONSUMING LARGE QUANTITIES OF CAFFEINE STEP 4: Arrest the gummi bears and put them inside the prison. STEP 5: Put the roof over their heads! This can be tricky if you haven't properly followed building codes when putting up the prison bars. STEP 6: Eat like a king. So there you have it! Put your gummi bear apostles in their precarious situations to help kids, students, and leaders alike remember the stories. I've also used gummi bears for many other scenes, such as Paul's shipwreck and the chariot of the Ethiopian Eunuch. Be creative and have fun.
