But Paul wouldn't budge. He told the officers, "They beat us up in public and threw us in jail, Roman citizens in good standing! And now they want to get us out of the way on the sly without anyone knowing? Nothing doing! If they want us out of here, let them come themselves and lead us out in broad daylight."
I just love this story. I love the chains breaking off during an earthquake after a prison praise and prayer service. And good job Paul for not budging, he was incredibly bold to take a stand and demand respect in this situation. He wasn't going to be meek in this instance and let the Romans get away with bad behavior.
