Acts 16:35-38

35And when it was day, the magistrates sent the officers, saying, Let those men go. 36And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go in peace. 37But Paul said to them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out privately? nay verily; but let them come themselves and bring us out. 38And the officers told these words to the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans.
