'Jailer' in the Bible

After they had beaten them severely, they threw them into prison and commanded the jailer to guard them securely.

When the jailer woke up and saw the doors of the prison standing open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, because he assumed the prisoners had escaped.

Calling for lights, the jailer rushed in and fell down trembling at the feet of Paul and Silas.

The jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, "The magistrates have sent orders to release you. So come out now and go in peace."
