noyes@Acts:16:20 @ and having brought them before the magistrates, said, These men are grievously disturbing our city, being Jews;

noyes@Acts:16:21 @ and they teach customs which it is not lawful for us Romans to receive or observe.

noyes@Acts:16:22 @ And the multitude rose up together against them, and the magistrates, tearing off their clothes, commanded to beat them with rods;

noyes@Acts:16:29 @ Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas;

noyes@Acts:16:30 @ and having brought them out, he said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
