*
And it came to pass (
5633 ),
as we went (
5740 )
to prayer ,
a certain damsel possessed (
5723 )
with a spirit of divination met (
5658 )
us ,
which brought (
5707 )
her masters much gain by soothsaying (
5740 ):
*
The same followed (
5660 )
Paul and us ,
and cried (
5707 ),
saying (
5723 ),
These men are (
5748 )
the servants of the most high God ,
which shew (
5719 )
unto us the way of salvation .
*
And this did she (
5707 )
many days .
But Paul ,
being grieved (
5666 ),
turned (
5660 )
and said (
5627 )
to the spirit ,
I command (
5719 )
thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come (
5629 )
out of her .
And he came out (
5627 )
the same hour .
*
And when her masters saw (
5631 )
that the hope of their gains was gone (
5627 ),
they caught (
5637 )
Paul and Silas ,
and drew (
5656 )
them into the marketplace unto the rulers ,
*
And brought (
5631 )
them to the magistrates ,
saying (
5627 ),
These men ,
being (
5723 )
Jews ,
do exceedingly trouble (
5719 )
our city ,
*
And teach (
5719 )
customs ,
which are not lawful (
5748 )
for us to receive (
5738 ),
neither to observe (
5721 ),
being (
5752 )
Romans .
*
And the multitude rose up together (
5627 )
against them :
and the magistrates rent off (
5660 )
their clothes ,
and commanded (
5707 )
to beat (
5721 )
them .
*
And when they had laid (
5631 )
many stripes upon them ,
they cast (
5627 )
them into prison ,
charging (
5660 )
the jailor to keep (
5721 )
them safely :
*
Who ,
having received (
5761 )
such a charge ,
thrust (
5627 )
them into the inner prison ,
and made their feet fast (
5662 )
in the stocks .
