Acts 16:19-24
21st Century King James Version
19 And when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they caught Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace unto the rulers,
20 and brought them to the magistrates, saying, “These men, being Jews, trouble our city exceedingly,
21 and teach customs which are not lawful for us to receive nor to observe, being Romans.”
22 And the multitude rose up together against them, and the magistrates rent off their clothes and commanded that they be beaten.
23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely.
24 He, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison and made their feet fast in the stocks.

American Standard Version
19 But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was [a]gone, they laid hold on Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers, 20 and when they had brought them unto the [b]magistrates, they said, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city, 21 and set forth customs which it is not lawful for us to receive, or to observe, being Romans. 22 And the multitude rose up together against them: and the [c]magistrates rent their garments off them, and commanded to beat them with rods. 23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely: 24 who, having received such a charge, cast them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
