32Then they spoke to him of God's message, and to all his household as well.
33And that very hour of the night he took them and washed their wounds, and he himself and everyone belonging to him were baptized without delay.
34Afterward he took them up to his house and set before them something to eat, rejoicing that he, with all his household, had come to believe in God.
35In the morning the Magistrates sent the police with an order for the men to be discharged.
36The jailer told Paul of his instructions. “The Magistrates have sent an order for your discharge,” he said, “so you had better leave the place at once and go quietly away.”
37But Paul's answer to them was, “They have flogged us in public without trial, though we are Roman citizens, and they have put us in prison, and now they are for sending us out secretly! No, indeed! Let them come and take us out themselves.”
38The police reported his words to the Magistrates, who, on hearing that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens, were alarmed,
39and went to the prison, and did their best to conciliate them. Then they took them out, and begged them to leave the city.
40When Paul and Silas left the prison, they went to Lydia's house, and, after they had seen the Lord's followers, and encouraged them, they left the place.
