34And he took them into his house and gave them food, and he was full of joy, having faith in God with all his family.
35But when it was day, the authorities sent the police, saying, Let these men go.
36And the keeper said to Paul, The authorities have given orders to let you go: come out now, and go in peace.
37But Paul said to them, They have given us who are Romans a public whipping without judging us, and have put us in prison. Will they now send us out secretly? no, truly, let them come themselves and take us out.
38And the police gave an account of these words to the authorities, and they were full of fear on hearing that they were Romans;
39Then they came and made prayers to them, requesting them, when they had taken them out, to go away from the town.
40And they came out of the prison and went to the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brothers they gave them comfort and went away.
