of Paul and Silas.
16:30. And bringing them out, he said: Masters, what must I do, that I
may be saved?
16:31. But they said: believe in the Lord Jesus: and thou shalt be
saved, and thy house.
16:32. And they preached the word of the Lord to him and to all that
were in his house.
16:33. And he, taking them the same hour of the night, washed their
stripes: and himself was baptized, and all his house immediately.
16:34. And when he had brought them into his own house, he laid the
table for them: and rejoiced with all his house, believing God.
16:35. And when the day was come, the magistrates sent the serjeants,
saying: Let those men go.
16:36. And the keeper of the prison told these words to Paul: The
magistrates have sent to let you go. Now therefore depart. And go in
peace.
16:37. But Paul said to them: They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned,
men that are Romans, and have cast us into prison. And now do they
thrust us out privately? Not so: but let them come.
16:38. And let us out themselves. And the serjeants told these words to
the magistrates. And they were afraid: hearing that they were Romans.
16:39. And coming, they besought them: and bringing them out, they
desired them to depart out of the city.
16:40. And they went out of the prison and entered into the house of
Lydia: and having seen the brethren, they comforted them and departed.

of noble women not a few.
17:5. But the Jews, moved with envy and taking unto them some wicked men

hither also:
