Deeds (Act) of Apostles 16:37-40

³⁷And Paul said to them, They sent us men of Rome into prison, that were beaten openly and uncondemned, and now privily they bring us out; not so (fast), but come they themselves, and deliver us out, (or no! let them come here themselves, and release us).

³⁸And the constables told these words to the magistrates; and they dreaded, for they heard that they were Romans, (or and they had great fear, when they learned that they were Romans).

³⁹And they came, and besought them, and they brought them out, and prayed, that they should go out of the city. (And so they came, and found them, and they brought them out, and beseeched them, that they would go away from their city.)

⁴⁰And they went out of the prison, and entered in to (the house of) Lydia. And when they saw (the) brethren, they comforted them, and went forth. (And they left the prison, and went to Lydia’s house. And when they saw the brothers, they strengthened or encouraged them, and then they went forth.)
