16:19And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace unto the rulers,

16:20And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,

16:21And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans.

16:22And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them.

16:23And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:

16:24Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.

16:25And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.

16:26And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.

16:27And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.

16:28But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.

16:29Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,

16:30And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

16:31And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

16:32And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.

16:33And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.

16:34And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.

16:35And when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.

16:36And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go in peace.

16:37But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and fetch us out.

16:38And the serjeants told these words unto the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans.

16:39And they came and besought them, and brought them out, and desired them to depart out of the city.

16:40And they went out of the prison, and entered into the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.

21:27And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him,

21:28Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place.

21:29(For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)

21:30And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they took Paul, and drew him out of the temple: and forthwith the doors were shut.

21:31And as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.

21:32Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down unto them: and when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating of Paul.

21:33Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done.

21:34And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle.

21:35And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the people.

21:36For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away with him.

21:37And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek?

21:38Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?

21:39But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people.

21:40And when he had given him licence, Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned with the hand unto the people. And when there was made a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,
