Acts 16:16-24 - Paul And Silas Imprisoned

16 And it was we going for prayer, a certain young girl having the spirit of Python met us, who furnished much gain to her lords, prophesying: 17 She having followed Paul and us, cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, who announce to us the way of salvation. 18 And this did she for many days. And Paul, having been exercised, and having turned back to the spirit, said, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And it came out the same hour.

19 And her lords having seen that the hope of their gain went out, taking Paul and Silas, they drew to the assembly to the rulers, 20 And having brought them to the generals, they said, These the men who cause disturbance to our city, being Jews, 21 And they announce customs, which it is not lawful for us to receive, nor do, being Romans.

22 And the crowd set together against them: and the generals having rent their garments, commanded to scourge with rods. 23 And many blows having been put upon them, they cast into prison, having commanded the jailor to keep them safely: 24 Who, having received such an order, cast them into the inner prison, and placed their feet firmly in wood.
