Acts 16:16-24 - Paul And Silas Imprisoned
16 And when we went to the proseuche, a certain female servant having a spirit, a diviner, met us, who brought her masters much gain by divining. 17 She following Paul and us, cried, saying, These men are servants of the Most High God, who declare to us the way of salvation; 18 and this she did for many days. And Paul being grieved turned around and said to the spirit, I command you, in the name of Jesus Christ, to come out of her. And it came out of her in that hour.
19 And her masters seeing that the hope of their gain was gone, seizing Paul and Silas dragged them to the market, to the rulers, 20 and bringing them before the prefects said, These men, being Jews, greatly trouble the city, 21 and preach customs which it is not lawful for us, being Romans, to receive or observe.
22 And the multitude came together against them, and the prefects tearing off their clothes gave orders to beat them with rods, 23 and having inflicted many blows on them cast them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely; 24 who, having received such a charge, cast them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
