33 And he, taking them in the same hour of the night, washed their scourges. And he was baptized, and next his entire household.
34 And when he had brought them into his own house, he set a table for them. And he was joyous, with his entire household, believing in God.
35 And when daylight had arrived, the magistrates sent the attendants, saying, "Release those men."
36 But the prison guard reported these words to Paul: "The magistrates have sent to have you released. Now therefore, depart. Go in peace."
37 But Paul said to them: "They have beaten us publicly, though we were not condemned. They have cast men who are Romans into prison. And now they would drive us away secretly? Not so. Instead, let them come forward,
38 and let us drive them away." Then the attendants reported these words to the magistrates. And upon hearing that they were Romans, they were afraid.
39 And arriving, they pleaded with them, and leading them out, they begged them to depart from the city.
