35NowG1161 when dayG2250 cameG1096, the chiefG4755 magistratesG4755 sentG649 their policemenG4465, sayingG3004, “ReleaseG630 thoseG1565 menG444.”

36And 1the jailerG1200 reportedG518 theseG3778 wordsG3056 to PaulG3972, saying, “The chiefG4755 magistratesG4755 have sentG649 to releaseG630 you. ThereforeG3767 comeG1831 out nowG3568 and goG4198 2in peaceG1515.”

37But PaulG3972 saidG5346 to them, “They have beatenG1194 us in publicG1219 withoutG178 trialG178, 3menG444 who are RomansG4514, and have thrownG906 us into prisonG5438; and nowG3568 are they sendingG1544 us awayG1544 secretlyG2977? NoG3756 indeedG1063! But let them comeG2064 themselvesG846 and bringG1806 us out.”
