Acts:16:11-40

asv@Acts:16:11 @Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;

asv@Acts:16:12 @and from thence to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the first of the district, a [Roman] colony: and we were in this city tarrying certain days.

asv@Acts:16:13 @And on the sabbath day we went forth without the gate by a river side, where we supposed there was a place of prayer; and we sat down, and spake unto the women that were come together.

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

asv@Acts:16:15 @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.

asv@Acts:16:16 @And it came to pass, as we were going to the place of prayer, that a certain maid having a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much gain by soothsaying.

asv@Acts:16:17 @The same following after Paul and us cried out, saying, These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim unto you the way of salvation.

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

asv@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,

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

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

asv@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.

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

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

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

asv@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 every one's bands were loosed.

asv@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.

asv@Acts:16:28 @But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.

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

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

asv@Acts:16:31 @And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house.

asv@Acts:16:32 @And they spake the word of the Lord unto him, with all that were in his house.

asv@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.

asv@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.

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

asv@Acts:16:36 @And the jailor reported the words to Paul, [saying], The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore come forth, and go in peace.

asv@Acts:16:37 @But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men that are Romans, and have cast us into prison; and do they now cast us out privily? Nay verily; but let them come themselves and bring us out.

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

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

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