Legacy Standard Bible
19 But when her masters saw that their hope of (A)profit had left, they seized (B)Paul and Silas and (C)dragged them into the marketplace before the authorities, 20 and when they had brought them to the chief magistrates, they said, “These men are throwing our city into confusion, being Jews, 21 and (D)are proclaiming customs that are not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being (E)Romans.” 22 And the crowd joined together to attack them, and the chief magistrates, tearing their garments off of them, proceeded to order them to be (F)beaten with rods. 23 And when they had inflicted them with many wounds, they threw them into prison, commanding (G)the jailer to guard them securely, 24 who, having received such a command, threw them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in (H)the [a]stocks.

Evangelical Heritage Version
19 When her owners saw that their hope of making money was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace before the authorities. 20 They had brought them to the magistrates and said, “These men are throwing our city into a state of confusion. They are Jews, 21 and they are teaching customs that are not lawful for us to accept or practice, since we are Romans.”
22 When the crowd also joined in the attack against them, the magistrates tore off their clothes and ordered them to be beaten with rods. 23 After they had beaten them severely, they threw them into prison and ordered the jailer to guard them securely. 24 Because he received such a command, the jailer threw them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.
