Acts 16:35-37

Evangelical Heritage Version

Released From Prison

³⁵ At daybreak the magistrates sent officers, saying, “Release those men!” ³⁶ The jailer reported these words to Paul: “The magistrates have sent orders that you should be released. So come out now and go in peace.”

³⁷ But Paul said to them, “They beat us publicly without a trial, even though we are Roman citizens, and threw us into prison. And now they are releasing us secretly? Absolutely not! Let them come themselves and escort us out!”
