Acts 16:36 in Context — Acts 16

34 E tendo os levado a sua casa, pôs [comida] diante deles à mesa; e alegrou-se muito, tendo crido em Deus com toda a sua casa.

35 E sendo [já] de dia, os magistrados mandaram aos guardas, dizendo: Solta aqueles homens.

36 E o carcereiro anunciou estas palavras a Paulo, [dizendo] : Os magistrados têm mandado vos soltar; portanto agora saí, e ide em paz.

37 Mas Paulo lhes disse: Eles nos açoitaram publicamente, e sem sermos sentenciados, sendo nós homens romanos, lançaram-nos na prisão, e agora nos lançam fora às escondidas? [Assim] não! Mas que eles mesmos venham e nos tirem.

38 E os guardas voltaram para dizer aos magistrados estas palavras; e eles temeram ao ouvirem que eram romanos.
