Acts 16:16-18

16It happened that as we were going to 1the place of prayer, a slave woman who had 2a 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 3the Most High God, who are proclaiming to you a way of salvation.” 18Now she continued doing this for many days. But Paul was greatly annoyed, and he turned and said to the spirit, “I command you 4in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!” And it came out at that very 5moment.
