Acts 16:10-17

10When he had seen 1the vision, 2we immediately sought to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to 3preach the gospel to them.

11So after setting sail from 4Troas, we ran 5a straight course to Samothrace, and on the following day to Neapolis; 12and from there to 6Philippi, which is a leading city of the district of 7Macedonia, 8a Roman colony; and we were spending some days in this city. 13And on 9the Sabbath day we went outside the gate to a riverside, where we were thinking that there was a place of prayer; and we sat down and began speaking to the women who had assembled. 14A woman named Lydia was listening; she was a seller of purple fabrics from the city of 10Thyatira, and 11a worshiper of God. 12The Lord 13opened her heart to respond to the things spoken by Paul. 15Now when she and 14her household had been baptized, she urged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay.” And she prevailed upon us.

16It happened that as we were going to 15the place of prayer, a slave woman who had 16a spirit of divination met us, who was bringing great profit to her masters by fortune-telling. 17She followed Paul and us and cried out repeatedly, saying, “These men are bond-servants of 17the Most High God, who are proclaiming to you a way of salvation.”
