37But Paul said to them: “After severely beating us in public, although we were uncondemned Romans, they threw us into prison, and now do they toss us out on the sly? No way! Rather, let them come themselves and escort us out!”
38So the officers reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans;
39and they came and appealed to them, and leading them out they asked them to leave the city.
40So exiting the prison they entered Lydia's place, and upon seeing the brothers they encouraged them and departed.
