Paul and Silas Receive an Official Apology

35 And when it[a] was day, the chief magistrates sent the police officers, saying, “Release those men.” 36 And the jailer reported these words to Paul: “The chief magistrates have sent an order[b] that you should be released. So come out now and[c] go in peace!” 37 But Paul said to them, “They beat us in public without due process—men who are Roman citizens—and[d] threw us[e] into prison, and now they are wanting to release us secretly? Certainly not! Rather let them come themselves and[f] bring us out!” 38 So the police officers reported these words to the chief magistrates, and they were afraid when they[g] heard that they were Roman citizens. 39 And they came and[h] apologized to[i] them, and after they[j] brought them[k] out they asked them[l] to depart from the city. 40 And when they[m] came out of the prison, they went to Lydia and when they[n] saw them,[o] they encouraged the brothers and departed.
