Commentary on Acts 16:38
'The serjeants told these words unto the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans.' The magistrates' fear reveals their legal jeopardy - beating Roman citizens without trial could result in severe punishment from Rome. Their hasty injustice became political liability. This fear would restrain future persecution of Philippi's church.
