« Acts 15Acts 16Acts 17 »

35 Now when day came, the chief magistrates sent their policemen, saying, “Release those men.” 36 And ^athe jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, “The chief magistrates have sent to release you. Therefore come out now and go ^bin peace.” 37 But Paul said to them, “Having beaten us in public without trial, ^amen who are Romans, they have thrown us into prison. And now are they sending us away secretly? No indeed! But let them come themselves and bring us out.” 38 And the policemen reported these words to the chief magistrates. ^aThey were afraid when they heard that they were Romans, 39 and they came and appealed to them, and when they had brought them out, they kept requesting them ^ato leave the city. 40 And they went out of the prison and entered the house of ^aLydia, and when they saw ^bthe brothers, they ¹encouraged them and left.
