Exegesis
The verse begins with the narrative tag ho de Paulos ephē pros autous {ὁ δὲ Παῦλος ἔφη πρὸς αὐτούς | ho dè Paû-los é-phē pròs au-toús} ‘Paul’s address to the officers,’ where the article ho with the postpositive conjunction de signals a return to speech.
In context — Acts 16:37
But Paul said to them, “They beat us in public without condemnation, even though we are Romans , and they threw us into prison. And now they are casting us out in secret? Not at all. Let them come themselves and lead us out.”
