Acts 16:19-24

New Century Version

¹⁹ When the owners of the servant girl saw this, they knew that now they could not use her to make money. So they grabbed Paul and Silas and dragged them before the city rulers in the marketplace. ²⁰ They brought Paul and Silas to the Roman rulers and said, “These men are Jews and are making trouble in our city. ²¹ They are teaching things that are not right for us as Romans to do.”

²² The crowd joined the attack against them. The Roman officers tore the clothes of Paul and Silas and had them beaten with rods. ²³ Then Paul and Silas were thrown into jail, and the jailer was ordered to guard them carefully. ²⁴ When he heard this order, he put them far inside the jail and pinned their feet down between large blocks of wood.
