10. And when he saw the vision, immediately we sought to go to Makedonia, concluding that the Master had called us to bring the Good News to them.
11. Therefore, sailing from Troas, we ran a straight course to Samothrake, and the next day came to Neapolis,
12. and from there to Philippi, which is the principal city of that part of Makedonia, a colony. And we were staying in that city for some days.
13. And on the Sabbath day we went outside the city by a river, where there used to be prayer. And having sat down we were speaking to the women who met there.
14. And a certain woman named Ludia, a seller of purple from the city of Thyatira, worshipping Elohim, was hearing, whose heart the Master did open to pay attention to what Sha’ul said.
15. And when she was immersed, and her household, she begged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be believing in the Master, come to my house and stay.” And she urged us.
16. And it came to be, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of Puthon, did meet us, who brought her masters much profit by foretelling.
17. Having followed Sha’ul and us, she cried out, saying, “These men are the servants of the Most High Elohim, who proclaim to us the way of deliverance.”
18. And she was doing this for many days. But Sha’ul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the Name of יהושע Messiah to come out of her.” And it came out that same hour.
19. But when her masters saw that their anticipation of money-making was gone, they seized Sha’ul and Sila and dragged them into the market-place to the rulers.
20. And having brought them to the captains, they said, “These men, being Yehuḏim, greatly disturb our city,
21. and they proclaim practices which are not right for us to receive nor to do, being Romans.”
22. And the crowd rose up together against them. And the captains tore off their garments and commanded them to be beaten with rods.
