Acts 16:16-24 - Paul And Silas Imprisoned
16 And it came to pass, we going to the prayer, a certain damsel having a spirit of divination met us, who brought much gain to her masters telling fortunes. 17 She, following Paul and us, continued to cry out, saying, These men are the servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation. 18 And she continued to do this many days. And Paul, being worn out, and turning round, said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out from her. And he came out the same hour.
19 And her masters seeing that the hope of their gain was gone, arresting Paul and Silas, dragged them into the forum to the rulers, 20 and leading them to the magistrates, said, These men do exceedingly trouble our city, being Jews, 21 and they proclaimed customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, or to do, being Romans.
22 And the crowd stood up together against them: and the magistrates tearing off their garments, commanded the lictors to beat them with rods. 23 And having laid many stripes on them, they cast them into prison, commanding the jailer to keep them safely: 24 who, having received such a charge, cast them into the interior prison, and fastened their feet into the wood.
