44:016:014 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the
           city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us:  whose heart
           the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were
           spoken of Paul.

44:016:015 And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us,
           saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come
           into my house, and abide there.  And she constrained us.

44:016:016 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel
           possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought
           her masters much gain by soothsaying: 

44:016:017 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men
           are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the
           way of salvation.

44:016:018 And this did she many days.  But Paul, being grieved, turned
           and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus
           Christ to come out of her.  And he came out the same hour.

44:016:019 And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was
           gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the
           marketplace unto the rulers,

44:016:020 And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being
           Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,

44:016:021 And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive,
           neither to observe, being Romans.

44:016:022 And the multitude rose up together against them:  and the
           magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat
           them.

44:016:023 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them
           into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely: 

44:016:024 Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner
           prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.

44:016:025 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto
           God:  and the prisoners heard them.

44:016:026 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the
           foundations of the prison were shaken:  and immediately all the
           doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.

44:016:027 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and
           seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would
           have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been
           fled.

44:016:028 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: 
           for we are all here.

44:016:029 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling,
           and fell down before Paul and Silas,

44:016:030 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be
           saved?
