Acts 16:36 in Context — Acts 16
34 Les ayant conduits dans son logement, il leur servit à manger, et il se réjouit avec toute sa famille de ce qu’il avait cru en Dieu.
35 Quand il fit jour, les préteurs envoyèrent les licteurs pour dire au geôlier: Relâche ces hommes.
36 Et le geôlier annonça la chose à Paul: Les préteurs ont envoyé dire qu’on vous relâchât; maintenant donc sortez, et allez en paix.
37 Mais Paul dit aux licteurs: Après nous avoir battus de verges publiquement et sans jugement, nous qui sommes Romains, ils nous ont jetés en prison, et maintenant ils nous font sortir secrètement! Il n’en sera pas ainsi. Qu’ils viennent eux-mêmes nous mettre en liberté.
38 Les licteurs rapportèrent ces paroles aux préteurs, qui furent effrayés en apprenant qu’ils étaient Romains.
