Acts 16:37
_ _ Paul said unto them — to the sergeants who had entered the prison along with the jailer, that they might be able to report that the men had departed.
_ _ They have beaten us openly — The publicity of the injury done them, exposing their naked and bleeding bodies to the rude populace, was evidently the most stinging feature of it to the apostle’s delicate feeling, and to this accordingly he alludes to the Thessalonians, probably a year after: “Even after we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated (or ‘insulted’) as ye know at Philippi” (1 Thessalonians 2:2).
_ _ uncondemned — unconvicted on trial.
_ _ being Romans — (See on Acts 22:28).
_ _ and cast us into prison — both illegal. Of Silas’ citizenship, if meant to be included, we know nothing.
_ _ and now do they thrust us out — hurry us out — see Mark 9:38, Greek.
_ _ privily? — Mark the intended contrast between the public insult they had inflicted and the private way in which they ordered them to be off.
_ _ nay verily — no, indeed.
_ _ but let them come themselves and fetch us out — by open and formal act, equivalent to a public declaration of their innocence. |
Acts 16:37
They have beaten us publicly, being Romans — St. Paul does not always plead this privilege. But in a country where they were entire strangers, such treatment might have brought upon them a suspicion of having been guilty of some uncommon crime, and so have hindered the course of the Gospel. |
Acts 16:37
(20) But 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.
(20) We must not render injury for injury, and yet nonetheless it is lawful for us to use such helps as God gives us, to bridle the outrageousness of the wicked, so that they do not hurt others in a similar way. |

Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came forth of the midst of the fire.
