The jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, "The magistrates have sent to let you go; now therefore come out, and go in peace."

The sergeants reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans,
39
and they came and begged them. When they had brought them out, they asked them to depart from the city.
