ACTS 16:36 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And 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.”
The officers reported this to the magistrates, and when they heard that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens, they were alarmed — the magistrates' alarm (phobeō, to fear) at the revelation of Roman citizenship indicates the severity of their legal violation: flogging citizens without trial could result in serious consequences for the magistrates themselves.
