Lydia
ComfortFellowship and the church

38 Offiserene rapporterte disse ordene til magistratene, og de ble forskrekket da de hørte at Paulus og Silas var romerske borgere.

39 De kom for å formilde dem og eskorterte dem ut av fengselet, og ba dem om å forlate byen.

Etter å ha forlatt fengselet, dro de til Lydias hus, hvor de møtte brødrene og søstrene og oppmuntret dem. Deretter dro de videre.
