When this word was brought to the authorities, they were alarmed for fear the apostles would make complaint of their unlawful treatment to the emperor, and cause the magistrates to lose their positions. They accordingly visited the prison, apologized to the apostles for their injustice and cruelty, and themselves conducted them out of the prison, and entreated them to depart out of the city. Thus the Lord wrought for his servants in their extremity.{LP 79.3} | |

Da dette kom frem for myndighederne, blev de foruroliget over at apostlene ville klage over deres ulovlige behandling til kejseren, og få byfogederne afsat af deres stillinger. De besøgte derfor fængslet, undskyldte apostlene for deres uretfærdige handling og grusomhed, og førte dem selv ud af fængslet, og bed dem instændigt om at forlade byen. Således havde Herren arbejdet for sine tjenere i yderste grad. |
