38. And the officers reported these words to the authorities, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans.
39. And having come, they pleaded with them and brought them out, and asked them to leave the city.
40. So coming out of the prison they went to Ludia, and seeing the brothers, they encouraged them, and went forth.
