19But when her masters saw that their hope of profit was suddenly gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace before the authorities,
20and when they had brought them to the chief magistrates, they said, 'These men, Jews as they are, are causing our city trouble,
21and they are proclaiming customs that are not lawful for us to accept or to practice, since we are Romans.'
