Acts 16:16-24 - Paul And Silas Imprisoned

16 And it fortuned as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit that prophesied met us, which brought her master and masters much vantage with prophesying. 17 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, "These men are the servants of the most high God, which show unto us the way of salvation." 18 And this did she many days. But Paul, not content, turned about and said to the spirit, "I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ that thou come out of her." And he came out the same hour.

19 And when her master and mistress saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace unto the rulers, 20 and brought them to the officers, saying, "These men trouble our city, which are Jews 21 and preach ordinances which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, seeing we are Romans."

22 And the people ran on them, and the officers rent their clothes, and commanded them to be beaten with rods, 23 and when they had beaten them sore, they cast them into prison commanding the jailer to keep them surely. 24 Which jailer, when he had received such commandment, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
