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

35 And, when it was day, the magistrates sent forth the serjeants, saying, "Release these men."

36 And the jailer reported these words to Paul, "The magistrates have sent that ye be released; now, therefore, going forth, go on your way in peace."

37 But Paul said to them "Having beaten us in public, uncondemned, being Romans, they cast us into prison; and now are they casting us out secretly? Nay, verily; but, coming themselves, let them lead us out."

38 And the serjeants reported these words to the magistrates; and they were afraid, when they heard that they were Romans; 39 and, coming, they besought them; and, leading them forth, they kept asking them to go away from the city. 40 And, coming out from the prison, they entered into the house of Lidia; and, seeing the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
