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.
23. And having laid many blows upon them, they threw them into prison, commanding the jailer to keep them safely,
24. who, having received such a command, put them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.
25. And at midnight Sha’ul and Sila were praying and singing songs to Elohim, and the prisoners were listening to them.
26. And suddenly a great earthquake took place, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken, and immediately all the doors were opened and all the chains came loose.
