Living_Oracles⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁶ Now it came to pass, that as we were going to the oratory, we were met by a certain maid-servant that had a spirit of divination, who brought her owners much gain by prophesying: ¹⁷ the same, following after Paul and us, cried out, These men are the servants of the Most High God, who declare to you the way of salvation. ¹⁸ And this she did for several days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I charge you, in the name of Jesus Christ, to go out of her. And it went out that very hour. ¹⁹ But when her owners saw that the hope of their gain was gone; laying hold of Paul and Silas, they dragged them to the market place, to the magistrates: ²⁰ and having brought them to the generals of the army, they said, These men, who are Jews, mightily disturb our city; ²¹ and teach customs, which it is not lawful for us to receive and practice, being Romans. ²² And the populace rose up together against them; and the generals tearing off their garments, commanded them to be beaten with rods. ²³ And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely. ²⁴ Who, having received such a strict charge, threw them into the inner prison, and secured their feet fast in the stocks. ²⁵ But at midnight, Paul and Silas having prayed, sung a hymn to God: and the prisoners heard them. ²⁶ And, on a sudden, there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prisoner were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and the bonds of all the prisoners were loosed. ²⁷ And the jailor, awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the doors of the prison opened, drew his sword, and was going to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners were fled. ²⁸ But Paul cried out, with a loud voice, saying, Do yourself no harm, for we are all here.
