37But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and fetch us out.

37But 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.

37and Paul said to them, `Having beaten us publicly uncondemned--men, Romans being--they did cast <FI>us<Fi> to prison, and now privately do they cast us forth! why no! but having come themselves, let them bring us forth.'
