19When the girl’s owners saw that their hope of making money was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them before the authorities in the marketplace.
20They brought them to the magistrates and said, “These men are Jews and are throwing our city into turmoil
21by promoting customs that are unlawful for us Romans to adopt or practice.”
22The crowd joined in the attack against Paul and Silas, and the magistrates ordered that they be stripped and beaten with rods.
