Acts 16:35-40

Revised Geneva Translation

³⁵ And when it was day, the governors sent the sergeants, saying, “Let those men go!”

³⁶ Then the keeper of the prison told these words to Paul, saying, “The governors have sent word to free you. Therefore, leave now. And go in peace.”

³⁷ Then Paul said to them, “After they have beaten us openly (uncondemned Romans) and have cast us into prison, now they wish to thrust us out secretly? Certainly not! But let them come and bring us out.”

³⁸ And the sergeants told these words to the governors, who were afraid when they heard that they were Romans.

³⁹ Then they came and pleaded with them; and brought them out and asked them to leave the city.

⁴⁰ And they went out of the prison and entered into the house of Lydia. And when they had seen the brothers, they comforted them, and departed.
