Acts 16:16-18

16It happened that as we were going to 1the place of prayer, a slave-girl having 2a spirit of divination met us, who was bringing her masters much profit by fortune-telling. 17Following after Paul and us, she kept crying out, saying, “These men are bond-servants of 3the Most High God, who are proclaiming to you 4the way of salvation.” 18She continued doing this for many days. But Paul was greatly annoyed, and turned and said to the spirit, “I command you 5in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!” And it came out at that very 6moment.
