Acts 16:19-24 — Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁹But when her masters saw that their hope of ^aprofit had left, they seized ^bPaul and Silas and ^cdragged them into the marketplace before the authorities, ²⁰and when they had brought them to the chief magistrates, they said, “These men are throwing our city into confusion, being Jews, ²¹and ^aare proclaiming customs that are not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being ^bRomans.” ²²And the crowd joined together to attack them, and the chief magistrates, tearing their garments off of them, proceeded to order them to be ^abeaten with rods. ²³And when they had inflicted them with many wounds, they threw them into prison, commanding ^athe jailer to guard them securely, ²⁴who, having received such a command, threw them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in ^athe ¹stocks.
