‭Acts 16:33-40 ESV‬
[33] And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their wounds; and he was baptized at once, he and all his family. [34] Then he brought them up into his house and set food before them. And he rejoiced along with his entire household that he had believed in God. [35] But when it was day, the magistrates sent the police, saying, “Let those men go.” [36] And the jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, “The magistrates have sent to let you go. Therefore come out now and go in peace.” [37] But Paul said to them, “They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men who are Roman citizens, and have thrown us into prison; and do they now throw us out secretly? No! Let them come themselves and take us out.” [38] The police reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Roman citizens. [39] So they came and apologized to them. And they took them out and asked them to leave the city. [40] So they went out of the prison and visited Lydia. And when they had seen the brothers, they encouraged them and departed.
‭Acts 16:33-40 NCV‬
[33] At that hour of the night the jailer took Paul and Silas and washed their wounds. Then he and all his people were baptized immediately. [34] After this the jailer took Paul and Silas home and gave them food. He and his family were very happy because they now believed in God. [35] The next morning, the Roman officers sent the police to tell the jailer, “Let these men go free.” [36] The jailer said to Paul, “The officers have sent an order to let you go free. You can leave now. Go in peace.” [37] But Paul said to the police, “They beat us in public without a trial, even though we are Roman citizens. And they threw us in jail. Now they want to make us go away quietly. No! Let them come themselves and bring us out.” [38] The police told the Roman officers what Paul said. When the officers heard that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens, they were afraid. [39] So they came and told Paul and Silas they were sorry and took them out of jail and asked them to leave the city. [40] So when they came out of the jail, they went to Lydia’s house where they saw some of the believers and encouraged them. Then they left.
Being let out of prison would typically be a good thing, but in this case it appears that the citizenship should have been looked at.
