Acts:16:11 @
having set sail ,
therefore ,
from Troas ,
we came with a straight course to Samothracia ,
on the morrow also to Neapolis ,
ylt @
Acts:16:12 @
thence also to Philippi ,
which is a principal city of the part of Macedonia --
a colony .
And we were in this city abiding certain days ,
ylt @
Acts:16:13 @
on the sabbath-day also we went forth outside of the city ,
by a river ,
where there used to be prayer ,
and having sat down ,
we were speaking to the women who came together ,
ylt @
Acts:16:14 @
and a certain woman ,
by name Lydia ,
a seller of purple ,
of the city of Thyatira ,
worshipping God ,
was hearing ,
whose heart the Lord did open to attend to the things spoken by Paul ;
ylt @
Acts:16:15 @
and when she was baptized ,
and her household ,
she did call upon us ,
saying , '
If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord ,
having entered into my house ,
remain ;'
and she constrained us .
ylt @
Acts:16:16 @
And it came to pass in our going on to prayer ,
a certain maid ,
having a spirit of Python ,
did meet us ,
who brought much employment to her masters by soothsaying ,
ylt @
Acts:16:17 @
she having followed Paul and us ,
was crying ,
saying , '
These men are servants of the Most High God ,
who declare to us a way of salvation ;'
ylt @
Acts:16:18 @
and this she was doing for many days ,
but Paul having been grieved ,
and having turned ,
said to the spirit , '
I command thee ,
in the name of Jesus Christ ,
to come forth from her ;'
and it came forth the same hour .
ylt @
Acts:16:19 @
And her masters having seen that the hope of their employment was gone ,
having caught Paul and Silas ,
drew [
them ]
to the market-place ,
unto the rulers ,
ylt @
Acts:16:20 @
and having brought them to the magistrates ,
they said , '
These men do exceedingly trouble our city ,
being Jews ;
ylt @
Acts:16:21 @
and they proclaim customs that are not lawful for us to receive nor to do ,
being Romans .'
ylt @
Acts:16:22 @
And the multitude rose up together against them ,
and the magistrates having torn their garments from them ,
were commanding to beat [
them ]
with rods ,
ylt @
Acts:16:23 @
many blows also having laid upon them ,
they cast them to prison ,
having given charge to the jailor to keep them safely ,
ylt @
Acts:16:24 @
who such a charge having received ,
did put them to the inner prison ,
and their feet made fast in the stocks .
ylt @
Acts:16:25 @
And at midnight Paul and Silas praying ,
were singing hymns to God ,
and the prisoners were hearing them ,
ylt @
Acts:16:26 @
and suddenly a great earthquake came ,
so that the foundations of the prison were shaken ,
opened also presently were all the doors ,
and of all --
the bands were loosed ;
ylt @
Acts:16:27 @
and the jailor having come out of sleep ,
and having seen the doors of the prison open ,
having drawn a sword ,
was about to kill himself ,
supposing the prisoners to be fled ,
ylt @
Acts:16:28 @
and Paul cried out with a loud voice ,
saying , '
Thou mayest not do thyself any harm ,
for we are all here .'
ylt @
Acts:16:29 @
And ,
having asked for a light ,
he sprang in ,
and trembling he fell down before Paul and Silas ,
ylt @
Acts:16:30 @
and having brought them forth ,
said , '
Sirs ,
what must I do --
that I may be saved ?'
ylt @
Acts:16:31 @
and they said , '
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ ,
and thou shalt be saved --
thou and thy house ;'
ylt @
Acts:16:32 @
and they spake to him the word of the Lord ,
and to all those in his household ;
ylt @
Acts:16:33 @
and having taken them ,
in that hour of the night ,
he did bathe [
them ]
from the blows ,
and was baptized ,
himself and all his presently ,
ylt @
Acts:16:34 @
having brought them also into his house ,
he set food before [
them ],
and was glad with all the household ,
he having believed in God .
ylt @
Acts:16:35 @
And day having come ,
the magistrates sent the rod-bearers ,
saying , '
Let those men go ;'
ylt @
Acts:16:36 @
and the jailor told these words unto Paul -- '
The magistrates have sent ,
that ye may be let go ;
now ,
therefore ,
having gone forth go on in peace ;'
ylt @
Acts:16:37 @
and Paul said to them , '
Having beaten us publicly uncondemned --
men ,
Romans being --
they did cast [
us ]
to prison ,
and now privately do they cast us forth !
why no !
but having come themselves ,
let them bring us forth .'
ylt @
Acts:16:38 @
And the rod-bearers told to the magistrates these sayings ,
and they were afraid ,
having heard that they are Romans ,
ylt @
Acts:16:39 @
and having come ,
they besought them ,
and having brought [
them ]
forth ,
they were asking [
them ]
to go forth from the city ;
ylt @
Acts:16:40 @
and they ,
having gone forth out of the prison ,
entered into [
the house of ]
Lydia ,
and having seen the brethren ,
they comforted them ,
and went forth .
