CHAINS.The usual NT word for chain is . (Mar 5:4 Authorized Version and Revised Version NT 1881, OT 1885 fetters) are for binding the feet. is a more general term, meaning anything to tie or fasten. Authorized Version renders , chains, in Jud 1:6, but Revised Version NT 1881, OT 1885 substitutes bonds. For critical reasons chains disappears from 2Pe 2:4.<\/p>\n
In NT chains invariably denote instruments for binding, or restraining the liberty of the person, e.g. the demoniac (Mar 5:3), St. Peter (Act 12:8), the dragon (Rev 20:1). Imbeciles appear always to have received consideration, if not even reverence, in the East; but demoniacs, and persons suffering from certain forms of delirium, have been treated with horrible cruelty. Often they are loaded with chains and bound to a staple firmly fixed in the ground. The tortures applied are ostensibly for the purpose of driving out the evil spirit that possesses them.<\/p>\n
Under the Roman law, vincula, was a form of punishment, or of safe custody. The prisoner was chained to a soldier, who was responsible for his safe keeping. The chain was fastened round the right wrist of the prisoner and the left wrist of his guard. To this chain St. Paul refers (Act 28:20, 2Ti 1:16). For greater safety two soldiers might be assigned as guards to one prisoner, a hand of each being chained to one of his. Thus St. Peter was confined in the stormy days of the persecution (Act 12:6); and St. Paul, when Lysias thought him a dangerous person (Act 21:33). The use of in their modern form may be seen to-day at Acre, in the groups of Turkish prisoners chained together by the ankles.<\/p>\n

In Scripture those expressions are frequently made use of to denote the constraining love of Christ. Thus Christ speaks of his church; (Son 1:10; Son 4:9) and again, by way of shewing Christ’s property in his church, “I put bracelets upon thine hands, and a chain on thy neck.” (Eze 16:11) And Paul, the apostle, delighted to call himself the Lord’s prisoner. “For the hope of Israel (said he,) I am bound with this chain.” (Act 28:20) “Be not thou, therefore, ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, of me his prisoner.” (2Ti 1:8)<\/p>\n
