Paul and Silas in Prison
16 Now it happened that as we were going to (A)the place of prayer, a servant-girl having (B)a spirit of divination met us, who was bringing her masters much profit by fortune-telling. 17 Following after Paul and us, she kept crying out, saying, “These men are slaves of (C)the Most High God, who are proclaiming to you [a]the way of salvation.” 18 And she continued doing this for many days. But being greatly annoyed, Paul turned and said to the spirit, “I command you (D)in the name of Jesus Christ to leave her!” And it left at that very [b]moment.
