Acts 16:35-40 ▼

35 And day having come, the magistrates sent the rod-bearers, saying, “Let those men go”;

36 and the jailor told these words to Paul, “The magistrates have sent, that you may be let go; now, therefore, having gone forth go on in peace”;

37 and Paul said to them, “Having beaten us publicly uncondemned—men, being Romans—they cast [us] to prison, and now privately they cast us forth! Why no! But having come themselves, let them bring us forth.”

38 And the rod-bearers told these sayings to the magistrates, and they were afraid, having heard that they are Romans,

39 and having come, they implored them, and having brought [them] forth, they were asking [them] to go forth from the city;

40 and they, having gone forth out of the prison, entered into [the house of] Lydia, and having seen the brothers, they comforted them, and went forth.
