  • Acts 16:12-40 : 12 From there we traveled to Philippi, a Roman colony and the leading city of that district of Macedonia. We stayed there for several days. 13 On the Sabbath we went outside the city gate to the river, where we expected to find a place of prayer. We sat down and began to speak to the women who had gathered there. 14 One of those listening was a woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth from the city of Thyatira, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul’s message. 15 After she and her household were baptized, she urged us, saying, 'If you consider me faithful to the Lord, come and stay at my house.' And she persuaded us. 16 As we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a servant girl who had a spirit of divination. She earned a great deal of money for her owners by fortune-telling. 17 She followed Paul and us, shouting, 'These men are servants of the Most High God, who are proclaiming to you the way of salvation!' 18 She kept doing this for many days. Finally, Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, 'I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.' And it came out that very moment. 19 When her owners saw that their hope of profit was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace to face the authorities. 20 They brought them before the magistrates and said, 'These men are Jews, and they are causing an uproar in our city.' 21 'They are advocating customs that are not lawful for us Romans to accept or practice.' 22 The crowd joined in the attack against them, and the magistrates ordered them to be stripped and beaten with rods. 23 After they had inflicted many blows on them, they threw them into prison and ordered the jailer to guard them securely. 24 Upon receiving this order, he put them in the inner cell and fastened their feet in the stocks. 25 Around midnight, Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. 26 Suddenly, there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once, all the doors flew open, and everyone's chains were loosened. 27 The jailer woke up, and when he saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, thinking that the prisoners had escaped. 28 But Paul called out in a loud voice, 'Don't harm yourself, for we are all here!' 29 The jailer asked for lights, rushed in, and trembling with fear, he fell down before Paul and Silas. 30 Then he brought them out and said, 'Sirs, what must I do to be saved?' 31 They replied, 'Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.' 32 And they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to everyone in his house. 33 At that hour of the night, the jailer took them and washed their wounds. Then he and all his household were baptized immediately. 34 The jailer brought them into his house, set a meal before them, and rejoiced greatly because he and his whole household had come to believe in God. 35 When daylight came, the magistrates sent their officers to the jailer with the order: 'Release those men.' 36 The jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, 'The magistrates have sent orders for you to be released. Now you can leave. Go in peace.' 37 But Paul said to them, 'They have publicly beaten us without a trial, even though we are Roman citizens, and threw us into prison. Now they want to release us secretly? Certainly not! Let them come themselves and escort us out!' 38 The officers reported this to the magistrates, and when they heard that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens, they were afraid. 39 So they came to appease them, escorted them out of the prison, and requested them to leave the city. 40 After Paul and Silas came out of the prison, they went to Lydia's house. There they met with the brothers and sisters, encouraged them, and then left.
