Acts 16:37-39

Modern English Version

³⁷ But Paul said to them, “They have publicly beaten us, who are uncondemned Romans, and have thrown us into prison. And now do they secretly throw us out? Certainly not! Let them come themselves and bring us out.”

³⁸ The sergeants reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans. ³⁹ So they came and entreated them. And they brought them out, asking them to leave the city.
