The Bible addresses the condition and treatment of prisoners, offering insights into the spiritual and moral dimensions of imprisonment.<br><br><b>Old Testament Context</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, imprisonment is mentioned in various narratives and laws. Joseph, one of the patriarchs, is a notable figure who was unjustly imprisoned in Egypt. <a href="/genesis/39-20.htm">Genesis 39:20-21</a> recounts, "So Joseph’s master took him and had him thrown into the prison where the king’s prisoners were confined. But while Joseph was there in the prison, the LORD was with him and extended kindness to him, granting him favor in the eyes of the prison warden."<br><br>The Mosaic Law also addresses the treatment of prisoners, emphasizing justice and fairness. While the Law does not prescribe imprisonment as a common form of punishment, it does provide for the protection of individuals' rights, including those who might be detained for various reasons.<br><br><b>New Testament Context</b><br><br>The New Testament expands on the theme of imprisonment, particularly in the context of the early Christian church. The apostles and early Christians often faced imprisonment due to their faith and proclamation of the Gospel. <a href="/acts/5-18.htm">Acts 5:18-19</a> describes an instance where the apostles were imprisoned: "They arrested the apostles and put them in the public jail. But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the jail and brought them out."<br><br>The Apostle Paul frequently encountered imprisonment, viewing it as an opportunity to advance the Gospel. In <a href="/philippians/1-12.htm">Philippians 1:12-14</a> , Paul writes, "Now I want you to know, brothers, that my circumstances have actually served to advance the gospel. As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ. And most of the brothers, confident in the Lord by my chains, now dare more greatly to speak the word without fear."<br><br><b>Spiritual Implications</b><br><br>The Bible often uses the metaphor of imprisonment to describe spiritual bondage and liberation. Jesus Christ's mission is portrayed as one of setting captives free, both physically and spiritually. In <a href="/luke/4-18.htm">Luke 4:18</a> , Jesus declares, "The Spirit of the Lord is on Me, because He has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to release the oppressed."<br><br><b>Christian Responsibility</b><br><br>The treatment of prisoners is a significant concern in biblical teaching, reflecting God's justice and mercy. <a href="/hebrews/13-3.htm">Hebrews 13:3</a> exhorts believers, "Remember those in prison as if you were bound with them, and those who are mistreated as if you were suffering with them." This call to empathy and action underscores the Christian duty to care for those who are imprisoned, advocating for their fair treatment and spiritual well-being.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>While the Bible acknowledges the reality of imprisonment, it also emphasizes the potential for redemption and transformation. Through the narratives of biblical figures and the teachings of Jesus and the apostles, the Scriptures offer a profound perspective on the dignity and hope available to all, including those who are prisoners.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/4887.htm"><span class="l">4887. sundeo -- to bind together</span></a> <br><b>...</b> sundeo Phonetic Spelling: (soon-deh'-o) Short Definition: I bind together Definition:<br> I bind together; pass: I am bound together with, as of <b>prisoners</b> in chains <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//strongsnumbers.com/greek2/4887.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 6k</font><p><a href="/greek/1200.htm"><span class="l">1200. desmophulax -- a prison keeper</span></a> <br><b>...</b> jailor, keeper of the prison.
