Acts 16:16-22

16One dayG1161G1096 as weG1473 were goingG4198 toG1519 theG3588 place of prayerG4335, weG1473 were met byG5221 aG5100 slave girlG3814 withG2192 a spiritG4151 of divinationG4436,1 whoG3748 earnedG3930 a largeG4183 incomeG2039 for herG846 mastersG2962 by fortune-tellingG3132. 17This girl followedG2628 PaulG3972 andG2532 the rest of usG1473, shoutingG2896G3004, “TheseG3778 menG444 areG1510 servantsG1401 of theG3588 Most HighG5310 GodG2316, whoG3748 are proclaimingG2605 to youG4771 the wayG3598 of salvationG4991!”

She continuedG4160 thisG3778 forG1909 manyG4183 daysG2250. Eventually PaulG3972 grew so aggravatedG1278 that he turnedG1994 and saidG2036 to theG3588 spiritG4151, “InG1722 the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 I commandG3853 youG4771 to come outG1831 ofG575 herG846!” AndG2532 the spirit left herG1831 at thatG846 very momentG5610.

19When the girl’s ownersG2962 sawG3708 thatG3754 theirG846 hopeG1680 ofG3588 making moneyG2039 was goneG1831, they seizedG1949 PaulG3972 andG2532 SilasG4609 and draggedG1670 them beforeG1909 theG3588 authoritiesG758 inG1519 theG3588 marketplaceG58. 20They brought themG4317G846 to theG3588 magistratesG4755 and saidG2036, “TheseG3778 menG444 areG5225 JewsG2453 and are throwingG1613 ourG1473 city into turmoilG4172 21by promotingG2605 customsG1485 thatG3739 are unlawfulG3756G1832 for usG1473 RomansG4514 to adoptG3858 or practiceG4160.”

TheG3588 crowdG3793 joined in the attackG4911 againstG2596 Paul and Silas, andG2532 theG3588 magistratesG4755 ordered thatG2753 they be strippedG4048G846G3588G2440 and beaten with rodsG4463.
