|
|
16 : 7 And when they had come up to Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia, butthe Spirit of Jesus did not allow them.

16 : 9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: a man of Macedonia was standing there, urging him and saying,Come over to Macedonia and help us.
|
|
16 : 10 And when Paulhad seen the vision, immediatelywe sought to go on into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.

|
|
16 : 16 As we were going tothe place of prayer, we were met by a slave girl who hada spirit ofdivination andbrought her owners much gain by fortune-telling.
|
|
16 : 17 She followed Paul and us,crying out,These men areservantsofthe Most High God, who proclaim to youthe way of salvation.
|
|
16 : 18 And this she kept doing for many days. Paul, having become greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit,I command youin the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.Andit came out that very hour.
|
|
16 : 19 Butwhen her owners saw that their hope of gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas anddragged them into the marketplace before the rulers.
|
|
16 : 20 And when they had brought them to the magistrates, they said,These men are Jews, and they are disturbing our city.
|
|
16 : 21 Theyadvocate customs that are not lawful for usas Romans to accept or practice.
|
|
16 : 22 The crowd joined in attacking them, and the magistrates tore the garments off them and gave ordersto beat them with rods.
|
|
16 : 23 And when they had inflicted many blows upon them, they threw them into prison, ordering the jailer to keep them safely.
|
|
16 : 24 Having received this order, he put them into the innerprison and fastened their feet inthe stocks.
|
|
16 : 25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them,
|
|
16 : 26 and suddenlythere was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediatelyall the doors were opened, andeveryone's bonds were unfastened.
|
|
16 : 27 When the jailer woke and saw that the prison doors were open, he drew his sword andwas about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.
|
|
16 : 28 But Paul cried with a loud voice,Do not harm yourself, for we are all here.
|
|
16 : 29 And the jailercalled for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear hefell down before Paul and Silas.
|
|
16 : 30 Then he brought them out and said,Sirs,what must I do to besaved?
|
|
16 : 31 And they said,Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, youand your household.
|
|
16 : 32 And they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house.
|

|
|

|
|
16 : 35 But when it was day, the magistrates sent the police, saying,Let those men go.
|
|
16 : 36 And the jailer reported these words to Paul, saying,The magistrates have sent to let you go. Therefore come out now and go in peace.
|
|
16 : 37 But Paul said to them,They have beaten us publicly,uncondemned, men who are Roman citizens, and have thrown us into prison; and do they now throw us out secretly? No! Let them come themselves and take us out.
|
|
16 : 38 The police reported these words to the magistrates, andthey were afraid when they heard that they were Roman citizens.
|
|
16 : 39 So they came and apologized to them. And they took them out andasked them to leave the city.
