acts 16:39 And they came and besought them, and brought them out, and desired them to depart out of the city. - Free Bible Online

acts 16:39 and they came and appealed to them, and when they had brought them out, they kept begging them to leave the city.


      39, 40. And they came--in person.
      and besought them--not to complain of them. What a contrast this suppliant attitude of the preachers of Philippi to the tyrannical air with which they had the day before treated the preachers! (See Isa 60:14; Re 3:9).
      brought them out--conducted them forth from the prison into the street, as insisted on.
      and desired--"requested."
      them to depart out of the city--perhaps fearing again to excite the populace.

JFB.
