Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,
Note 1 at Ac 16:29: The Greek word translated "sprang in" in this verse is "EISPEDAO," and it means "to spring or leap in" (Vine's Expository Dictionary) and "to rush in" (Strong's Concordance). This emphasizes the jailer's astonishment that the prisoners could still be in their cells after all their bands were loosed by the earthquake (see note 4 at Ac 16:25 and note 7 at Ac 16:27).
