35 And G1161 when it was G1096 day, G2250 the magistrates G4755 sent G649 the serjeants, G4465 saying, G3004 Let G630 those G1565 men G444 go. G630
36 And G1161 the keeper of the prison G1200 told G518 this G5128 saying G3056 to G4314 Paul, G3972 G3754 The magistrates G4755 have sent G649 to G2443 let you go: G630 now G3568 therefore G3767 depart, G1831 and go G4198 in G1722 peace. G1515
37 But G1161 Paul G3972 said G5346 unto G4314 them, G846 They have beaten G1194 us G2248 openly G1219 uncondemned, G178 being G5225 Romans, G4514 G444 and have cast G906 us into G1519 prison; G5438 and G2532 now G3568 do they thrust G1544 us G2248 out G1544 privily? G2977 nay G3756 verily; G1063 but G235 let them come G2064 themselves G846 and fetch G1806 us G2248 out. G1806
38 And G1161 the serjeants G4465 told G312 these G5023 words G4487 unto the magistrates: G4755 and G2532 they feared, G5399 when they heard G191 that G3754 they were G1526 Romans. G4514
39 And G2532 they came G2064 and besought G3870 them, G846 and G2532 brought them out, G1806 and desired G2065 them to depart out G1831 of the city. G4172
