Acts 16:37-39

Revised Geneva Translation

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.

³⁹ Then they came and pleaded with them; and brought them out and asked them to leave the city.
