← Acts 16:37	Acts 16:38 (KJV)	Acts 16:39 →
But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast [us] into prison; and now do they thrust us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and fetch us out.	And the serjeants told these words unto the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans.	And they came and besought them, and brought [them] out, and desired [them] to depart out of the city.
