Because he had such strict orders, he put them into the inner cell and fastened their feet in the stocks.

So he got up and went. Now there was an Ethiopian official, a member of the court of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, her chief treasurer, who had come to Jerusalem to worship,

and brought them to the chiefs of the police court. They said, "These men are Jews; they continue to make great disturbance in our town

The crowd also joined in the attack upon them, and the chiefs of the police court had them stripped and flogged.

When day broke, the chiefs of the police court sent policemen with the message to let the men go.

The jailer reported this message to Paul, saying, "The chiefs of the police court have sent orders to let you go. So now you may come out and go in peace."

The policemen reported this message to the chiefs of the police court, and they became alarmed when they heard that they were Roman citizens,

While Gallio was governor of Greece, the Jews unanimously attacked Paul and one day brought him before the court,

So he drove them away from the court.

Then they all seized Sosthenes, the leader of the synagogue, and kept beating him right in front of the court; but Gallio paid no attention to it.

When he said that, an angry dispute arose between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the crowded court was divided.

But Paul said, "I now am standing before the emperor's court where I ought to be tried. I have done the Jews no wrong, as you very well know.
