Acts 16:31-39

³¹And they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved, you and your household.”

³²And they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all those in his house.

³³And he took them along in that same hour of the night and washed their wounds, and immediately he and all his family were baptized.

³⁴And bringing them up into his house, he set a meal before them; and he rejoiced with his whole house, having believed in God.

³⁵Now when it became day, the magistrates sent the officers, saying, “Release those men.”

³⁶And the prison keeper told these words to Paul, saying, “The magistrates have sent so that you may be released. Now therefore depart, and go in peace.”

³⁷But Paul said to them, “They beat us publicly, although we were uncondemned Romans, and they cast us into prison, and now do they cast us out secretly? No indeed! Let them come themselves and lead us out.”

³⁸And the officers related to the magistrates these words, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans.

³⁹And coming, they appealed to them, and bringing them out, they asked them to depart from the city.
