Acts 16:21 in Context — Acts 16
19 Les maîtres de la servante, voyant disparaître l’espoir de leur gain, se saisirent de Paul et de Silas, et les traînèrent sur la place publique devant les magistrats.
20 Ils les présentèrent aux préteurs, en disant: Ces hommes troublent notre ville;
21 ce sont des Juifs, qui annoncent des coutumes qu’il ne nous est permis ni de recevoir ni de suivre, à nous qui sommes Romains.
22 La foule se souleva aussi contre eux, et les préteurs, ayant fait arracher leurs vêtements, ordonnèrent qu’on les battît de verges.
23 Après qu’on les eut chargés de coups, ils les jetèrent en prison, en recommandant au geôlier de les garder sûrement.
