Acts 16:19-24

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁹ Now when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace, to the Magistrates.

²⁰ And they brought them to the governors, saying, “These Jewish men trouble our city,

²¹ “and preach ordinances which are not lawful for us to receive, nor to observe, seeing we are Romans!”

²² Then the people rose up together against them. And the governors tore their clothes and commanded them to be beaten with rods.

²³ And when they had beaten them terribly, they cast them into prison, commanding the jailer to guard them securely

²⁴ (who, having received such a commandment, cast them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks).
