Acts:16:12-18
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And from thence to Philippi ,
which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia ,
and a colony :
and we were in that city abiding certain days .
*
And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side ,
where prayer was wont to be made ;
and we sat down ,
and spake unto the women which resorted thither .
*
And a certain woman named Lydia ,
a seller of purple ,
of the city of Thyatira ,
which worshipped God ,
heard us :
whose heart the Lord opened ,
that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul .
*
And when she was baptized ,
and her household ,
she besought us ,
saying ,
If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord ,
come into my house ,
and abide there .
And she constrained us .
*
And it came to pass ,
as we went to prayer ,
a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us ,
which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying :
*
The same followed Paul and us ,
and cried ,
saying ,
These men are the servants of the most high God ,
which shew unto us the way of salvation .
*
And this did she many days .
But Paul ,
being grieved ,
turned and said to the spirit ,
I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her .
And he came out the same hour .
