Acts 16:15-33

15NowG1161 whenG5613 she and 1her householdG3624 had been baptizedG907, she urgedG3870 us, sayingG3004, “IfG1487 you have judgedG2919 me to be faithfulG4103 to the LordG2962, comeG1525 into my houseG3624 and stayG3306.” And she prevailedG3849 upon us.

16It happenedG1096 that as we were goingG4198 to 2the placeG4335 of prayerG4335, a slaveG3814 womanG3814 who hadG2192 3a spiritG4151 of divinationG4436 metG5221 us, whoG3748 was bringingG3930 greatG4183 profitG2039 to her mastersG2962 by fortune-tellingG3132. 17She followedG2628 PaulG3972 and us and criedG2896 outG2896 repeatedly, sayingG3004, “TheseG3778 menG444 are bond-servantsG1401 of 4the MostG5310 HighG5310 GodG2316, whoG3748 are proclaimingG2605 to you a wayG3598 of salvationG4991.” 18NowG1161 she continued doingG4160 thisG3778 for manyG4183 daysG2250. But PaulG3972 was greatlyG1278 annoyedG1278, and he turnedG1994 and saidG3004 to the spiritG4151, “I commandG3853 you 5in the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 to comeG1831 outG1831 of her!” And it cameG1831 outG1831 at that veryG846 6momentG5610.

19But when her mastersG2962 sawG3708 that their hopeG1680 of 7profitG2039 was suddenly goneG1831, they seizedG1949 8PaulG3972 and SilasG4609 and 9draggedG1670 them into the marketplaceG58 beforeG1909 the authoritiesG758, 20and when they had broughtG4317 them to the chiefG4755 magistratesG4755, they saidG3004, “TheseG3778 menG444, JewsG2453 asG2453 theyG2453 areG2453, are causingG1613 our cityG4172 troubleG1613, 21and they 10are proclaimingG2605 customsG1485 that are not lawfulG1832 for us to acceptG3858 orG3761 to practiceG4160, since we are 11RomansG4514.” 22The crowdG3793 joinedG4911 inG4911 anG4911 attackG4911 againstG2596 them, and the chiefG4755 magistratesG4755 toreG4048 their 12robesG2440 offG4048 them and proceeded to orderG2753 13them to be 14beatenG4463 withG4463 rodsG4463. 23When they had struckG2007 them with manyG4183 blowsG4127, they threwG906 them into prisonG5438, commandingG3853 15the jailerG1200 to guardG5083 them securelyG806; 2416and he, having receivedG2983 suchG5108 a commandG3852, threwG906 them into the innerG2082 prisonG5438 and fastenedG805 their feetG4228 in 17the 18stocksG3586.

25NowG1161 aboutG2596 midnightG3317 19PaulG3972 and SilasG4609 were prayingG4336 and 20singingG5214 hymnsG5214 ofG5214 praiseG5214 to GodG2316, and the prisonersG1198 were listeningG1874 toG1874 them; 26and suddenlyG869 21there was a greatG3173 earthquakeG4578, soG5620 thatG5620 the foundationsG2310 of the prisonG1201 were shakenG4531; and immediatelyG3916 22allG3956 the doorsG2374 were openedG455, and everyone’sG3956 23chainsG1199 were unfastenedG447. 27When 24the jailerG1200 awokeG1853 and sawG3708 the prisonG5438 doorsG2374 openedG455, he drewG4685 his swordG3162 and wasG3195 aboutG3195 25toG3195 killG337 himselfG1438, thinkingG3543 that the prisonersG1198 had escapedG1628. 28But PaulG3972 calledG5455 outG5455 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, sayingG3004, “DoG4238 not harmG2556 yourselfG4572, for we are allG537 hereG1759!” 29And the jailer askedG154 for lightsG5457 and rushedG1530 inG1530, and tremblingG1790 withG1790 fearG1790, he fellG4363 downG4363 beforeG4363 26PaulG3972 and SilasG4609; 30and after he broughtG4254 them out, he saidG5346, “SirsG2962, 27whatG5101 mustG1163 I doG4160 to be savedG4982?” 31They saidG3004, “28BelieveG4100 in the LordG2962 JesusG2424, and you will be savedG4982, you and 29your householdG3624.” 32And they spokeG2980 the wordG3056 of GodG2962 to him togetherG4862 with allG3956 whoG3588 were in his houseG3614. 33And he tookG3880 them 30that very hourG5610 of the nightG3571 and washedG3068 their woundsG4127, and immediatelyG3916 he was baptizedG907, he and allG537 his household.
