Riverside⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁴ One woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple, from the city of Thyatira, who reverenced God, was listening. God opened her heart to receive what was said by Paul. ¹⁵ When she had been baptized along with her household, she begged us, "If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay," and she insisted on our doing so. ¹⁶ It so happened that as we were going to the place of prayer a certain slave girl who had a spirit of divination met us. She was bringing great gain to her masters by divining. ¹⁷ She followed Paul and us and kept calling out, "These men are servants of God Most High, and they are teaching you the way of salvation." ¹⁸ This she kept doing for many days. Paul was annoyed, and turning he said to the spirit, "I tell you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her," and it came out at that very moment.
