15 And when she was baptized and her family, she requested us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and lodge there. And she constrained us.
16 Now as we were going to the place of prayer, there met us a young woman that had a spirit of divination, who brought her masters much gain by soothsaying.
17 She following Paul and us, cried out, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, who shew us the way of salvation.
18 And this she did for many days. But Paul being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.
19 And he came out that instant. And when her masters saw, that the hope of their gain was gone, they seized on Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the court to the magistrates.
20 And when they brought them to the governors, they said, These men cause great disturbance in our city, for they are Jews, and teach customs,
21 which it is not lawful for us to receive, nor practise, who are Romans.
22 And the populace rose up together against them: and the officers stripped off their clothes, and ordered them to be scourged.
23 And when they had given them many stripes, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely.
24 Who having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.
25 Now in the middle of the night Paul and Silas were praying and singing praises to God, and the prisoners heard them.
26 And on a sudden there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bonds were loosed.
27 The jailor waking, and seeing the prison-doors open, drew his sword and was going to kill himself, thinking that the prisoners were fled.
28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.
29 Then he called for lights, and sprang in, and being in a tremor fell down before Paul and Silas:
30 and bringing them out, he said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thine house.
32 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all in his family.
33 And he took them at that very time of the night, and bathed their stripes: and was baptized, he and all his immediately after.
