"The severity with which the jailer had treated the apostles had not aroused their resentment. Paul and Silas had the spirit of Christ, not the spirit of revenge. Their hearts, filled with the love of the Saviour, had no room for malice against their persecutors. AA 216.1"
"But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;"
The EGW passage directly illustrates the principle of loving one's enemies, as taught by Jesus in Matthew 5:44. Paul and Silas's lack of resentment towards the jailer exemplifies this principle.
"The jailer dropped his sword and, calling for lights, hastened into the inner dungeon. He would see what manner of men these were who repaid with kindness the cruelty with which they had been treated. Reaching the place where the apostles were, and casting himself before them, he asked their forgiveness. Then, bringing them out into the open court, he inquired, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” AA 216.2"
"And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"
The EGW passage directly quotes and elaborates on the jailer's question in Acts 16:30, making it a clear and explicit allusion.
"The jailer had trembled as he beheld the wrath of God manifested in the earthquake; when he thought that the prisoners had escaped he had been ready to die by his own hand; but now all these things seemed of little consequence compared with the new, strange dread that agitated his mind, and his desire to possess the tranquillity and cheerfulness shown by the apostles under suffering and abuse. He saw in their countenances the light of heaven; he knew that God had interposed in a miraculous manner to save their lives; and with peculiar force the words of the spirit-possessed woman came to his mind: “These men are the servants of the most high God, which show unto us the way of salvation.” AA 216.3"
"They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed."
The EGW passage describes the jailer seeing the 'light of heaven' in the apostles' faces, which thematically aligns with Psalm 34:5, where those who look to God are 'lightened' and not ashamed. It's a parallel in the sense of reflecting God's presence and receiving divine favor.
