Acts 16:35-40 - Paul And Silas Receive An Official Apology
35 But it being day, the magistrates sent the lictors, saying, Send away these men.
36 And the jailer proclaimed these words to Paul, The magistrates have sent word that you may be released: now therefore having gone out, depart in peace.
37 But Paul said to them, Having beaten us publicly uncondemned, being Roman men, they cast us into prison, and now do they cast us out privately? for no; but having come themselves let them lead us out.
38 And the lictors proclaimed these words to the magistrates. And hearing that they are Romans, they were alarmed; 39 and having come they called for them, and leading them out, requested them to go away from their city. 40 And having come out from the prison they came to Lydia, and seeing the brethren, comforted them, and departed.
