A leader in the Jerusalem church and Roman citizen who became Paul's missionary companion after the split with Barnabas. Silas co-authored several of Paul's letters (1 Thessalonians, 2 Thessalonians) and shared Paul's imprisonment and miraculous deliverance at Philippi, where an earthquake opened the prison doors and led to the jailer's conversion (Acts 16:25-34).
