Paul and Silas Receive an Official Apology
35 And when it[a] was day, the chief magistrates sent the police officers, saying, “Release those men.” 36 And the jailer reported these words to Paul: “The chief magistrates have sent an order[b] that you should be released. So come out now and[c] go in peace!” 37 But Paul said to them, “They beat us in public without due process—men who are Roman citizens—and[d] threw us[e] into prison, and now they are wanting to release us secretly? Certainly not! Rather let them come themselves and[f] bring us out!”

35 When it was daylight, the magistrates sent their officers to the jailer with the order: “Release those men.” 36 The jailer(A) told Paul, “The magistrates have ordered that you and Silas be released. Now you can leave. Go in peace.”(B)
37 But Paul said to the officers: “They beat us publicly without a trial, even though we are Roman citizens,(C) and threw us into prison. And now do they want to get rid of us quietly? No! Let them come themselves and escort us out.”
