Acts 16:37-38

37But Paul said to them, “They have beaten us publicly, auncondemned, 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.” 38The police reported these words to the magistrates, and bthey were afraid when they heard that they were Roman citizens.
