35 | But when it was day, the magistrates sent the police, saying, "Let those men go." |
36 | And the jailer reported the words to Paul, saying, "The magistrates have sent to let you go; now therefore come out and go in peace." |
37 | But Paul said to them, "They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men who are Roman citizens, and have thrown us into prison; and do they now cast us out secretly? No! let them come themselves and take us out." |
38 | The police reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Roman citizens; |
39 | so they came and apologized to them. And they took them out and asked them to leave the city. |
