Raw Blame History

said to them

"said to the jailer"

They have publicly beaten us

"The magistrates ordered their soldiers to beat us in public"

without a trial, even though we are Roman citizens—and they threw us into prison

"men who are Roman citizens, and they had their soldiers put us in jail though they had not proven in court that we were guilty"

Do they now want to send us away secretly? No!

"I will certainly not let them send us out of the city in secret!"

Let them come themselves

Here "themselves" is used for emphasis.
