Acts 16:37-40

³⁷and Paul said to them, 'Having beaten us publicly uncondemned — men, Romans being — they did cast us to prison, and now privately do they cast us forth! why no! but having come themselves, let them bring us forth.'

³⁸And the rod-bearers told to the magistrates these sayings, and they were afraid, having heard that they are Romans,

³⁹and having come, they besought them, and having brought them forth, they were asking them to go forth from the city;

⁴⁰and they, having gone forth out of the prison, entered into the house of Lydia, and having seen the brethren, they comforted them, and went forth.
