The Conversion of Lydia
11
So, setting sail from Troas, we 1made a direct voyage to Samothrace, and the following day to Neapolis,
12
and from there to 2Philippi, which is a leading city of thea district of Macedonia and 3a Roman colony. We remained in this city some days.
13
And 4on the Sabbath day we went outside the gate 5to the riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, and we 6sat down and spoke to the women who had come together.
14
One who heard us was a woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, a seller of purple goods, 7who was a worshiper of God. The Lord 8opened her heart to pay attention to what was said by Paul.
15
And after she was baptized, 9and her household as well, she urged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come to my house and stay. ” And she 10prevailed upon us.
Paul and Silas in Prison
16
As we were going to 11the place of prayer, we were met by a slave girl who had 12a spirit of 13divination and 14brought her owners much gain by fortune-telling.
17
She followed Paul and us, 15crying out, “These men are 16servantsb of 17the Most High God, who proclaim to you 18the way of salvation. ”
18
And this she kept doing for many days. Paul, having become greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, 19“I command you 20in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. ” And 21it came out that very hour.
19
But 22when her owners saw that their hope of gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and 23dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers.
20
And when they had brought them to the magistrates, they said, “These men are Jews, and they are disturbing our city.
22
The crowd joined in attacking them, and the magistrates tore the garments off them and gave orders 26to beat them with rods.
23
And when they had inflicted many blows upon them, they threw them into prison, ordering the jailer to keep them safely.
24
Having received this order, he put them into the inner 27prison and fastened their feet in 28the stocks.
The Philippian Jailer Converted
25
29About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them,
26
and suddenly 30there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately 31all the doors were opened, and 32everyone’s bonds were unfastened.
27
When the jailer woke and saw that the prison doors were open, he drew his sword and 33was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.
28
But Paul cried with a loud voice, “Do not harm yourself, for we are all here. ”
29
And the jailerc called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he 34fell down before Paul and Silas.
32
And they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house.
33
And he took them 39the same hour of the night and washed their wounds; and he 40was baptized at once, he and all his family.
34
Then he brought them up into his house and set food before them. And he 41rejoiced along with his entire household that he had believed in God.
35
But when it was day, the magistrates sent the police, saying, “Let those men go. ”
36
And the jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, “The magistrates have sent to let you go. Therefore come out now and go in peace. ”
37
But Paul said to them, “They have beaten us publicly, 42uncondemned, men who are Roman citizens, and have thrown us into prison; and do they now throw us out secretly? No! Let them come themselves and take us out. ”
