New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
12 and from there to Philippi, which is a leading city of the district of Macedonia and a Roman colony. We remained in this city for some days.(A) 13 On the Sabbath day we went outside the gate by the river, where we supposed[a] there was a place of prayer, and we sat down and spoke to the women who had gathered there. 14 A certain woman named Lydia, a worshiper of God, was listening to us; she was from the city of Thyatira and a dealer in purple cloth. The Lord opened her heart to listen eagerly to what was said by Paul. 15 When she and her household were baptized, she urged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come and stay at my home.” And she prevailed upon us.(B)
Paul and Silas in Prison
16 One day as we were going to the place of prayer, we met a female slave who had a spirit of divination and brought her owners a great deal of money by fortune-telling.(C) 17 While she followed Paul and us, she would cry out, “These men are slaves of the Most High God, who proclaim to you[b] the way of salvation.”(D) 18 She kept doing this for many days. But Paul, very much annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I order you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” And it came out that very hour.
19 But when her owners saw that their hope of making money was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace before the authorities.(E) 20 When they had brought them before the magistrates, they said, “These men, these Jews, are disturbing our city(F) 21 and are advocating customs that are not lawful for us, being Romans, to adopt or observe.” 22 The crowd joined in attacking them, and the magistrates had them stripped of their clothing and ordered them to be beaten with rods.(G) 23 After they had given them a severe flogging, they threw them into prison and ordered the jailer to keep them securely.(H) 24 Following these instructions, he put them in the innermost cell and fastened their feet in the stocks.(I)
25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.(J) 26 Suddenly there was an earthquake so violent that the foundations of the prison were shaken, and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were unfastened.(K) 27 When the jailer woke up and saw the prison doors wide open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, since he supposed that the prisoners had escaped.(L) 28 But Paul shouted in a loud voice, “Do not harm yourself, for we are all here.” 29 The jailer[c] called for lights, and rushing in, he fell down trembling before Paul and Silas. 30 Then he brought them outside and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”(M) 31 They answered, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.”(N) 32 They spoke the word of the Lord[d] to him and to all who were in his house. 33 At the same hour of the night he took them and washed their wounds; then he and his entire family were baptized without delay. 34 He brought them up into the house and set food before them, and he and his entire household rejoiced that he had become a believer in God.(O)
35 When morning came, the magistrates sent the police, saying, “Let those men go.” 36 And the jailer reported the message to Paul, saying, “The magistrates sent word to let you go; therefore come out now and go in peace.”(P) 37 But Paul replied, “They have beaten us in public, uncondemned, men who are Romans, and have thrown us into prison, and now are they going to discharge us in secret? Certainly not! Let them come and take us out themselves.”(Q) 38 The police reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans,(R) 39 so they came and apologized to them. And they took them out and asked them to leave the city.(S) 40 After leaving the prison they went to Lydia’s home, and when they had seen and encouraged the brothers and sisters there, they departed.(T)

Acts 16:12-40
New International Version
12 From there we traveled to Philippi,(A) a Roman colony and the leading city of that district[a] of Macedonia.(B) And we stayed there several days.
13 On the Sabbath(C) 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 from the city of Thyatira(D) named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth. She was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart(E) to respond to Paul’s message. 15 When she and the members of her household(F) were baptized,(G) she invited us to her home. “If you consider me a believer in the Lord,” she said, “come and stay at my house.” And she persuaded us.
Paul and Silas in Prison
16 Once when we were going to the place of prayer,(H) we were met by a female slave who had a spirit(I) by which she predicted the future. She earned a great deal of money for her owners by fortune-telling. 17 She followed Paul and the rest of us, shouting, “These men are servants of the Most High God,(J) who are telling you the way to be saved.” 18 She kept this up for many days. Finally Paul became so annoyed that he turned around and said to the spirit, “In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!” At that moment the spirit left her.(K)
19 When her owners realized that their hope of making money(L) was gone, they seized Paul and Silas(M) and dragged(N) them into the marketplace to face the authorities. 20 They brought them before the magistrates and said, “These men are Jews, and are throwing our city into an uproar(O) 21 by advocating customs unlawful for us Romans(P) to accept or practice.”(Q)
22 The crowd joined in the attack against Paul and Silas, and the magistrates ordered them to be stripped and beaten with rods.(R) 23 After they had been severely flogged, they were thrown into prison, and the jailer(S) was commanded to guard them carefully. 24 When he received these orders, he put them in the inner cell and fastened their feet in the stocks.(T)
25 About midnight(U) Paul and Silas(V) were praying and singing hymns(W) 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.(X) At once all the prison doors flew open,(Y) and everyone’s chains came loose.(Z) 27 The jailer woke up, and when he saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself because he thought the prisoners had escaped.(AA) 28 But Paul shouted, “Don’t harm yourself! We are all here!”
29 The jailer called for lights, rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas.(AB) 30 He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”(AC)
31 They replied, “Believe(AD) in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved(AE)—you and your household.”(AF) 32 Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all the others in his house. 33 At that hour of the night(AG) the jailer took them and washed their wounds; then immediately he and all his household were baptized.(AH) 34 The jailer brought them into his house and set a meal before them; he(AI) was filled with joy because he had come to believe in God—he and his whole household.
35 When it was daylight, the magistrates sent their officers to the jailer with the order: “Release those men.” 36 The jailer(AJ) told Paul, “The magistrates have ordered that you and Silas be released. Now you can leave. Go in peace.”(AK)
37 But Paul said to the officers: “They beat us publicly without a trial, even though we are Roman citizens,(AL) and threw us into prison. And now do they want to get rid of us quietly? No! 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 alarmed.(AM) 39 They came to appease them and escorted them from the prison, requesting them to leave the city.(AN) 40 After Paul and Silas came out of the prison, they went to Lydia’s house,(AO) where they met with the brothers and sisters(AP) and encouraged them. Then they left.
