Acts:16:11-40




updv@Acts:16:11 @ And setting sail from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;

updv@Acts:16:12 @ and from there to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the first of the district, a [Roman] colony: and we were spending some days in this city.

updv@Acts:16:13 @ And on the Sabbath day we went forth outside the gate by a riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer; and we sat down, and spoke to the women who had come together.

updv@Acts:16:14 @ And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple of the city of Thyatira, one who worshiped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened to give heed to the things which were spoken by Paul.

updv@Acts:16:15 @ And when she was baptized, and her household, she implored us, saying, If you(note:){+}(:note) have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and stay [there]. And she constrained us.

updv@Acts:16:16 @ And it came to pass, as we were going to the place of prayer, that a certain female slave having a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much gain by fortune-telling.

updv@Acts:16:17 @ The same following after Paul and us cried out, saying, These men are slaves of the Most High God, who proclaim to you(note:){+}(:note) the way of salvation.

updv@Acts:16:18 @ And this she did for many days. But Paul, being very troubled, turned and said to the spirit, I charge you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And it came out that very hour.

updv@Acts:16:19 @ But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they laid hold on Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers,

updv@Acts:16:20 @ and when they had brought them to the magistrates, they said, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,

updv@Acts:16:21 @ and set forth customs which it is not lawful for us to receive, or to observe, being Romans.

updv@Acts:16:22 @ And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent their garments off them, and commanded to beat them with rods.

updv@Acts:16:23 @ And when they had laid many stripes on them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:

updv@Acts:16:24 @ who, having received such a charge, cast them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.

updv@Acts:16:25 @ But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them;

updv@Acts:16:26 @ and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison-house were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone's bands were loosed.

updv@Acts:16:27 @ And the jailor, being roused out of sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.

updv@Acts:16:28 @ But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do nothing to harm yourself: for we are all here.

updv@Acts:16:29 @ And he called for lights and sprang in, and, trembling for fear, fell down before Paul and Silas,

updv@Acts:16:30 @ and brought them out and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

updv@Acts:16:31 @ And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your house.

updv@Acts:16:32 @ And they spoke the word of the Lord to him, with all who were in his house.

updv@Acts:16:33 @ And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, immediately.

updv@Acts:16:34 @ And he brought them up into his house, and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly, with all his house, having believed in God.

updv@Acts:16:35 @ But when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, Let those men go.

updv@Acts:16:36 @ And the jailor reported these words to Paul, [saying], The magistrates have sent to let you(note:){+}(:note) go: now therefore come forth, and go in peace.

updv@Acts:16:37 @ But Paul said to them, They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men who are Romans, and have cast us into prison; and do they now cast us out secretly? No truly; but let them come themselves and bring us out.

updv@Acts:16:38 @ And the sergeants reported these words to the magistrates: and they feared when they heard that they were Romans;

updv@Acts:16:39 @ and they came and implored them; and when they had brought them out, they asked them to go away from the city.

updv@Acts:16:40 @ And they went out of the prison, and entered into [the house] of Lydia: and when they had seen the brothers, they comforted them, and departed.
