Hechos 16:38 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 16:38

And the sergeants told these words unto the magistrates,
&c.] They returned to them, and acquainted them with what the prisoners said:

and they feared when they heard that they were Romans;
they were not concerned for the injury they had done them; nor for the injustice and cruelty they had been guilty of; nor did they fear the wrath of God, and a future judgment; but they were put into a panic, when they found the men they had so ill used were Romans; lest they should be called to an account by the Roman senate, and be found guilty, and have their places taken away from them, and their persons punished.

Hechos 16:38 In-Context

36 El carcelero comunicó a Pablo estas palabras, diciendo: Los magistrados superiores han dado orden de que se os suelte. Así que, salid ahora e id en paz.
37 Mas Pablo les dijo: Aunque somos ciudadanos romanos, nos han azotado públicamente sin hacernos juicio y nos han echado a la cárcel; ¿y ahora nos sueltan en secreto? ¡De ninguna manera! Que ellos mismos vengan a sacarnos.
38 Y los oficiales informaron esto a los magistrados superiores, y al saber que eran romanos, tuvieron temor.
39 Entonces vinieron, y les suplicaron, y después de sacarlos, les rogaban que salieran de la ciudad.
40 Cuando salieron de la cárcel, fueron a casa de Lidia, y al ver a los hermanos, los consolaron y partieron.
