Acts 16:37-39
Lexham English Bible
37 But Paul said to them, “They beat us in public without due process—men who are Roman citizens—and[a] threw us[b] into prison, and now they are wanting to release us secretly? Certainly not! Rather let them come themselves and[c] bring us out!” 38 So the police officers reported these words to the chief magistrates, and they were afraid when they[d] heard that they were Roman citizens. 39 And they came and[e] apologized to[f] them, and after they[g] brought them[h] out they asked them[i] to depart from the city.
