✦ MADE SIMPLE
But Paul was like, 'Hold up — they beat us in public without even giving us a trial, and we're Roman citizens. Then they threw us in prison, and now they want to quietly kick us out the back door? Absolutely not. If they want us gone, they need to come personally and escort us out themselves.'
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Paul said 'I'm not sneaking out the back — if you messed up, own it and walk me out the front door yourself.'
