Acts 16:21 in Context — Acts 16
19 E os senhores dela, vendo que a esperança de lucro deles tinha ido embora, pegaram a Paulo e a Silas, e [os] levaram à praça, diante dos governantes.
20 E apresentando-os aos magistrados, disseram: Estes homens perturbam nossa cidade, sendo judeus;
21 E eles anunciam costumes que não nos é lícito receber, nem fazer; pois somos romanos.
22 E a multidão se levantou juntamente contra eles; e os oficiais, rasgando suas roupas, mandaram que fossem açoitados.
23 E tendo sido lhes dado muitos açoites, os lançaram na prisão, mandando ao carcereiro que os guardasse em segurança.
