Acts 16:37-39

Worldwide English (New Testament)

³⁷ But Paul said, `We are Romans. And they have beaten us outside where people can see. They have put us in prison without proving we have done wrong. Now, are they going to take us out of prison secretly? No, they themselves must come and take us out.'

³⁸ The soldiers told this to the judges. They were very much afraid when they heard that Paul and Silas were Romans.

³⁹ So they came to Paul and Silas. They said they were sorry for what they had done. They brought them out of prison and asked them to leave the city.
