Acts 16:36-38

Revised Geneva Translation

³⁶ Then the keeper of the prison told these words to Paul, saying, “The governors have sent word to free you. Therefore, leave now. And go in peace.”

³⁷ Then Paul said to them, “After they have beaten us openly (uncondemned Romans) and have cast us into prison, now they wish to thrust us out secretly? Certainly not! But let them come and bring us out.”

³⁸ And the sergeants told these words to the governors, who were afraid when they heard that they were Romans.
