Acts 16:37-39

New Century Version

³⁷ But Paul said to the police, “They beat us in public without a trial, even though we are Roman citizens.^[a] And they threw us in jail. Now they want to make us go away quietly. No! Let them come themselves and bring us out.”

³⁸ The police told the Roman officers what Paul said. When the officers heard that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens, they were afraid. ³⁹ So they came and told Paul and Silas they were sorry and took them out of jail and asked them to leave the city.
