22 The crowd joined in attacking them, and the magistrates tore the garments off them and gave orders ^mto beat them with rods. 23 And when they had inflicted many blows upon them, they threw them into prison, ordering the jailer to keep them safely.

37 But Paul said to them, “They have beaten us publicly, ^cuncondemned, men who are Roman citizens, and have thrown us into prison; and do they now throw us out secretly? No! Let them come themselves and take us out.” 38 The police reported these words to the magistrates, and ^cthey were afraid when they heard that they were Roman citizens. 39 So they came and apologized to them. And they took them out and ^dasked them to leave the city. 40 So they went out of the prison and visited ^eLydia. And when they had seen ^fthe brothers, they encouraged them and departed.
