Acts 16:35-40 - Paul And Silas Receive An Official Apology
35 But when it became day, the magistrates sent out the police, saying, Release those men.
36 And the jailor reported these words to Paul: The magistrates have sent out so that ye may be released. Now therefore after coming out, go in peace.
37 But Paul said to them, Having beaten us publicly, uncondemned men, being Romans, they cast us into prison, and now they thrust us out privately? Certainly not, but after coming, they shall lead us out.
38 And the police reported these sayings to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans. 39 And having come they besought them, and when they brought them out, they asked them to go out of the city. 40 And having departed from the prison, they came in to Lydia. And after seeing the brothers, they encouraged them, and departed.
