Acts 16:35-39

35Now when day came, the chief magistrates sent their policemen, saying, “Release those men.”

36And 1the jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, “The chief magistrates have sent to release you. Therefore come out now and go 2in peace.”

37But Paul said to them, “They have beaten us in public without trial, 3men who are Romans, and have thrown us into prison; and now are they sending us away secretly? No indeed! But let them come themselves and bring us out.”

38The policemen reported these words to the chief magistrates. 4They were afraid when they heard that they were Romans,

39and they came and appealed to them, and when they had brought them out, they kept begging them 5to leave the city.
