Acts 16:38 in Context — Acts 16

36 Y el carcelero hizo saber estas palabras á Pablo: Los magistrados han enviado [á decir] que seáis sueltos: así que ahora salid, é id en paz.

37 Entonces Pablo les dijo: Azotados públicamente sin ser condenados, siendo hombres Romanos, nos echaron en la cárcel; y ¿ahora nos echan encubiertamente? No, de cierto, sino vengan ellos y sáquennos.

38 Y los alguaciles volvieron á decir á los magistrados estas palabras: y tuvieron miedo, oído que eran Romanos.

39 Y viniendo, les rogaron; y sacándolos, les pidieron que se saliesen de la ciudad.

40 Entonces salidos de la cárcel, entraron en [casa de] Lidia; y habiendo visto á los hermanos, los consolaron, y se salieron.
