Are they ministers of Christ?
(I speak as a fool) I am more;
in labours more abundant,
in stripes above measure,
in prisons more frequent,
in deaths oft. – 2 Corinthians 11:23

I am no preacher, but, am a prime sinner and living in this world in HIS mercy. For a sinner like me too, when I read “The Holy Bible” KJV,  the following verses were given in the context of “prison” from the New Testament.

Acts 5:18 And laid their hands on the apostles,
and put them in the common prison.

Acts 5:19 But the angel of the Lord by night
opened the prison doors,
and brought them forth, and said,

Acts 5:21 And when they heard that,
they entered into the temple early in the morning,
and taught. But the high priest came,
and they that were with him,
and called the council together,
and all the senate of the children of Israel,
and sent to the prison to have them brought.

Acts 5:22 But when the officers came,
and found them not in the prison,
they returned, and told,

Acts 5:23 Saying, The prison truly found we shut with all safety,
and the keepers standing without before the doors:
but when we had opened,
we found no man within.

Acts 5:25 Then came one and told them, saying, Behold,
the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple,
and teaching the people.

entering into every house,
and haling men and women committed them to prison.

he put him in prison, and delivered him
to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him;
intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.

Acts 12:5 Peter therefore was kept in prison:
but prayer was made without ceasing
of the church unto God for him.

Acts 12:6 And when Herod would have brought him forth,
the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers,
bound with two chains:
and the keepers before the door kept the prison.

Acts 12:7 And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him,
and a light shined in the prison:
and he smote Peter on the side,
and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly.
And his chains fell off from his hands.

Acts 12:17 But he, beckoning unto them
with the hand to hold their peace,
declared unto them how the Lord
had brought him out of the prison.
And he said, Go shew these things unto James,
and to the brethren. And he departed,
and went into another place.

Acts 16:23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them,
they cast them into prison,
charging the jailor to keep them safely:

Acts 16:24 Who, having received such a charge,
thrust them into the inner prison,
and made their feet fast in the stocks.

Acts 16:25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed,
and sang praises unto God:
and the prisoners heard them.

Acts 16:26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake,
so that the foundations of the prison were shaken:
and immediately all the doors were opened,
and every one’s bands were loosed.

Acts 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.

Acts 16:36 And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul,
The magistrates have sent to let you go:
now therefore depart, and go in peace.

Acts 16:37 But Paul said unto them,
They have beaten us openly uncondemned,
being Romans, and have cast us into prison;
and now do they thrust us out privily? nay verily;
but let them come themselves and fetch us out.

Acts 16:40 And they went out of the prison,
and entered into the house of Lydia:
and when they had seen the brethren,
they comforted them,
and departed.

Acts 22:4 And I persecuted this way unto the death,
binding and delivering into prisons
both men and women.

Acts 23:18 So he took him,
and brought him to the chief captain,
and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto him,
and prayed me to bring this young man unto thee,
who hath something to say unto thee.

Acts 25:27 For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner,
and not withal to signify the crimes laid against him.

Acts 26:10 Which thing I also did in Jerusalem:
and many of the saints did I shut up in prison,
having received authority from the chief priests;
and when they were put to death,
I gave my voice against them.

Acts 27:1 And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy,
they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners
unto one named Julius,
a centurion of Augustus’ band.

Acts 27:42 And the soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners,
lest any of them should swim out,
and escape.

Acts 28:16 And when we came to Rome,
the centurion delivered the prisoners
to the captain of the guard:
but Paul was suffered to dwell by himself
with a soldier that kept him.

Acts 28:17 And it came to pass, that after three days
Paul called the chief of the Jews together:
and when they were come together,
he said unto them, Men and brethren,
though I have committed nothing against the people,
or customs of our fathers,
yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem
into the hands of the Romans.

Romans 16:7 Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen,
and my fellow-prisoners,
who are of note among the apostles,
who also were in Christ before me.

(I speak as a fool) I am more;
in labours more abundant,
in stripes above measure,
in prisons more frequent,
in deaths oft.

the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,

Ephesians 4:1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord,
beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation
wherewith ye are called,

ashamed of the testimony of our Lord,
nor of me his prisoner:
but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel
according to the power of God;

Philemon 1:1 Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ,
and Timothy our brother,
unto Philemon our dearly beloved,
and fellowlabourer,

Philemon 1:9 Yet for love’s sake I rather beseech thee,
being such an one as Paul the aged,
and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.

1 Peter 3:19 By which also he went and preached
unto the spirits in prison;

Revelation 2:10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer:
behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison,
that ye may be tried;
and ye shall have tribulation ten days:
be thou faithful unto death,
and I will give thee a crown of life.

Revelation 20:7 And when the thousand years are expired,
Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
