Acts 16:15-33
15And whenG5613 she wasG1510 baptizedG907, and her householdG3624, she besought us, sayingG3004, If ye have judgedG2919 me to beG1510 faithfulG4103 to the LordG2962, comeG1525 into my houseG3624, and abideG3306 there. And she constrained us.
16And it cameG1096 to passG1096, as we were goingG4198 to the placeG1096 of prayerG4335, that a certainG5100 maid having a spiritG4151 of divination met us, who broughtG3930 her mastersG2962 muchG4183 gain by soothsaying. 17The same following after PaulG3972 and us criedG2896 out, sayingG3004, These menG444 areG1510 servantsG1401 of the MostG5310 HighG5310 GodG2316, who proclaimG2605 unto you the wayG3598 of salvationG4991. 18And this she did for manyG4183 daysG2250. But PaulG3972, being sore troubled, turnedG1994 and saidG3004 to the spiritG4151, I chargeG3853 thee in the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 to comeG1831 out of her. And it cameG1831 out that very hourG5610.
19But when her mastersG2962 sawG3708 that the hopeG1680 of their gain was goneG1831, they laid holdG1949 on PaulG3972 and SilasG4609, and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulersG758, 20and when they had broughtG4317 them unto the magistrates, they saidG3004, These menG444, being JewsG2453, do exceedingly trouble our cityG4172, 21and set forth customsG1485 which it isG1510 not lawfulG1832 for us to receiveG3858, or to observe, beingG1510 RomansG4514. 22And the multitudeG3793 rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent their garmentsG2440 off them, and commandedG2753 to beat them with rodsG4463. 23And when they had laidG2007 manyG4183 stripes upon them, they castG906 them into prisonG5438, charging the jailor to keepG5083 them safely: 24who, having receivedG2983 such a chargeG3852, castG906 them into the inner prisonG5438, and made their feetG4228 fast in the stocks. 25But about midnightG3317 PaulG3972 and SilasG4609 were prayingG4336 and singing hymnsG5214 unto GodG2316, and the prisonersG1198 were listening to them; 26and suddenlyG869 there was a greatG3173 earthquakeG4578, so that the foundationsG2310 of the prison-house were shakenG4531: and immediatelyG3916 all the doorsG2374 were openedG455; and every one’s bands were loosed. 27And the jailor, being roused out of sleep and seeingG3708 the prisonG5438 doorsG2374 openG455, drew his swordG3162 and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisonersG1198 had escapedG1628. 28But PaulG3972 cried with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, sayingG3004, Do thyself no harmG2556: for we areG1510 all hereG1759. 29And he called for lightsG5457 and sprang in, and, trembling for fear, fell downG4363 before PaulG3972 and SilasG4609, 30and broughtG4254 them out and saidG5346, SirsG2962, what must I do to be savedG4982? 31And they saidG3004, BelieveG4100 on the LordG2962 JesusG2424, and thou shalt be savedG4982, thou and thy houseG3624. 32And they spake the wordG3056 of the LordG2962 unto him, with all that were in his houseG3614. 33And he tookG3880 them the sameG846 hourG5610 of the nightG3571, and washedG3068 their stripes; and was baptizedG907, he and all his, immediatelyG3916.
