Acts 16:38 in Context — Acts 16
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.
39 Ils vinrent les apaiser, et ils les mirent en liberté, en les priant de quitter la ville.
40 Quand ils furent sortis de la prison, ils entrèrent chez Lydie, et, après avoir vu et exhorté les frères, ils partirent.
