Acts 16:16-24 - Paul And Silas Imprisoned
16 And as we were going to prayer, a certain damsel, possest by a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much gain by prophesying. 17 She following after Paul and us, cried out, 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. But Paul being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ, to go out of her. And he came out the same hour.
19 But when her owners saw, that the hope of their gain was gone, laying hold of Paul and Silas, they dragged them into the market-place to the magistrates, 20 And having brought them to the pretors, they said, These men, 21 being Jews, exceedingly trouble our city, And teach customs, which it is not lawful for us, being Romans, to receive, neither to observe.
22 And the multitude rose up together against them; and the pretors tearing off their garments, commanded to beat them with rods. 23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely: 24 Who having received such a charge, threw them into the inner prison, and secured their feet in the stocks.
