Acts 16:35-37

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

³⁵ When morning came, the magistrates sent the police, saying, ‘Let those men go.’ ³⁶ And the jailer reported the message to Paul, saying, ‘The magistrates sent word to let you go; therefore come out now and go in peace.’ ³⁷ But Paul replied, ‘They have beaten us in public, uncondemned, men who are Roman citizens, and have thrown us into prison; and now are they going to discharge us in secret? Certainly not! Let them come and take us out themselves.’
