As an example of obedience to government what did Paul and Silas do when the earthquake broke the stocks of everybody in their prison?

They remained there thus converting the jailer. Also this was an unjust imprisonment as both men were Roman citizens.

Source: Acts 16:28-95 Acts 16:35-39 shows they were unjustly punished.

Paul was not the only one who counseled obedience. Why did Peter also advice obedience to government?
