Acts 16:23 in Context — Acts 16

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.

24 O qual, tendo recebido tal ordem, lançou-os na cela mais interna, e prendeu-lhes os pés no tronco.

25 E perto da meia-noite, Paulo e Silas [estavam] orando, e cantando hinos a Deus; [e] os [outros] presos os escutavam.
