Paul and Silas Receive an Official Apology
35 And [when it] was day, the chief magistrates sent the police officers, saying, "Release those men."
36
And the jailer reported these words to Paul: "The chief magistrates have sent [an order] that you should be released. So come out now [and] go in peace!"
37
But Paul said to them, "They beat us in public without due process--men who are Roman citizens--[and] threw [us] into prison, and now they are wanting to release us secretly? Certainly not! Rather let them come themselves [and] bring us out!"
38
So the police officers reported these words to the chief magistrates, and they were afraid [when they] heard that they were Roman citizens.
39
And they came [and] apologized to them, and [after they] brought [them] out they asked [them] to depart from the city.
40
And [when they] came out of the prison, they went to Lydia and [when they] saw [them], they encouraged the brothers and departed.

Glad to have you on board today for The Dwelling Place. Today pastor Al Pittman brings us another study centering on the extraordinary life of the Apostle Paul.
