Acts 16:19-24

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

The Girl’s Masters Have Paul And Silas Beaten And Imprisoned

¹⁹ And her masters, having seen that their hope of profit went-out, having taken-hold-of Paul and Silas, dragged them into the marketplace^[a] before the rulers. ²⁰ And having brought them to the magistrates^[b], they said, “These men are throwing our city into confusion, being Jews. ²¹ And they are proclaiming customs which it is not lawful for us to be accepting nor to be doing, being Romans”. ²² And the crowd rose up together against them. And the magistrates, having torn-off their^[c] garments, were giving-orders to beat them with rods^[d]. ²³ And having laid many blows on them, they threw them into prison, having commanded the jailer to keep them securely— ²⁴ who, having received such a command, threw them into the inner prison and secured their feet to the wood^[e].
