ACTS 16:34 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.”
When it was daylight, the magistrates sent their officers to the jailer with the order: 'Release those men.' The jailer told Paul, 'The magistrates have ordered that you and Silas be released. Now you can leave in peace' — the magistrates' order (apolutō, to release) the next morning appears casual, perhaps intending to quietly resolve the disruption without further attention. The phrase in peace (en eirēnēi) offers peaceful departure, inverting the violent imprisonment.
