Acts 16:35-40
35NowG1161 when dayG2250 cameG1096, the chiefG4755 magistratesG4755 sentG649 their officersG4465, sayingG3004, “ReleaseG630 thoseG1565 menG444.”
36And 1the jailerG1200 reportedG518 theseG3778 wordsG3056 to PaulG3972, saying, “The chiefG4755 magistratesG4755 have sentG649 word that you be releasedG630. SoG3767 comeG1831 outG1831 nowG3568 and goG4198 2in peaceG1515.”
37But PaulG3972 saidG5346 to them, “After beatingG1194 us in publicG1219 withoutG178 dueG178 processG178--3menG444 who are RomansG4514--they threwG906 us into prisonG5438; and nowG3568 they are releasingG1544 us secretlyG2977? NoG3756 indeedG1063! On the contraryG1161, let them comeG2064 4in personG846 and leadG1806 us outG1806.”
38The officersG4465 reportedG518 theseG3778 wordsG4487 to the chiefG4755 magistratesG4755. 5And they becameG5399 fearfulG5399 when they heardG191 that they were RomansG4514,
39and they cameG2064 and pleadedG3870 with them, and when they had ledG1806 them outG1806, they repeatedly askedG2065 them 6to leaveG565 the cityG4172.
40They leftG1831 the prisonG5438 and enteredG1525 the house of 7LydiaG3070, and when they sawG3708 8the brothersG80 and sisters, they 9encouragedG3870 them and departedG1831.
