Acts 16:36-39
New American Standard Bible
36 And (A)the jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, “The chief magistrates have sent word that you be released. So come out now and go (B)in peace.” 37 But Paul said to them, “After beating us in public without due process—(C)men who are Romans—they threw us into prison; and now they are releasing us secretly? No indeed! On the contrary, let them come [a]in person and lead us out.” 38 The officers reported these words to the chief magistrates. (D)And they became fearful when they heard that they were Romans, 39 and they came and pleaded with them, and when they had led them out, they repeatedly asked them (E)to leave the city.
