Acts 16:16-24

16It happenedG1096 that as we were goingG4198 to 1the placeG4335 of prayerG4335, a slaveG3814 womanG3814 who hadG2192 2a 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 3the 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 4in the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 to comeG1831 outG1831 of her!” And it cameG1831 outG1831 at that veryG846 5momentG5610.

19But when her mastersG2962 sawG3708 that their hopeG1680 of 6profitG2039 was suddenly goneG1831, they seizedG1949 7PaulG3972 and SilasG4609 and 8draggedG1670 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 9are proclaimingG2605 customsG1485 that are not lawfulG1832 for us to acceptG3858 orG3761 to practiceG4160, since we are 10RomansG4514.” 22The crowdG3793 joinedG4911 inG4911 anG4911 attackG4911 againstG2596 them, and the chiefG4755 magistratesG4755 toreG4048 their 11robesG2440 offG4048 them and proceeded to orderG2753 12them to be 13beatenG4463 withG4463 rodsG4463. 23When they had struckG2007 them with manyG4183 blowsG4127, they threwG906 them into prisonG5438, commandingG3853 14the jailerG1200 to guardG5083 them securelyG806; 2415and he, having receivedG2983 suchG5108 a commandG3852, threwG906 them into the innerG2082 prisonG5438 and fastenedG805 their feetG4228 in 16the 17stocksG3586.
