Acts 16:35-40 - Paul And Silas Receive An Official Apology
35 And when it was day the prefects sent the lictors, saying, Let those men go.
36 And the jailer told these words to Paul; The prefects have sent to let you go; now, therefore, go, and depart in peace.
37 But Paul said to him, They have beaten us publicly uncondemned, being Romans, and cast us into prison; and now do they privately cast us out? No, indeed: but let them come themselves and conduct us out.
38 And the lictors told these words to the prefects, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans; 39 and they came and besought them, and conducting them out desired them to leave the city. 40 And going out of the prison they entered into the house of Lydia, and having seen the brothers they exhorted them, and departed.
