Acts 16:35-40 - Paul And Silas Receive An Official Apology

35 And when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, Release those men.

36 And the jailer reported these words to Paul: The magistrates have sent to release you; now therefore come out, and go in peace.

37 But Paul said to them, They have publicly beaten us uncondemned, although we are Romans, and have thrust us into prison; and now do they thrust us out secretly? No; but let them come themselves, and bring us out.

38 And the sergeants reported these words to the magistrates; and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans. 39 And they came and besought them; and when they had brought them out, they entreated them to leave the city. 40 And when they had come out of the prison, they went into the house of Lydia; and when they saw the brethren, they exhorted them, and departed.
