As we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a slave girl who  had a spirit of divination and brought her owners much gain by  fortune-telling. She followed Paul and us, crying out, “These men are  servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to you the way of  salvation.” And this she kept doing for many days. Paul, having become  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  hour. But when her owners saw that their hope of gain was gone, they  seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace before the  rulers. And when they had brought them to the magistrates, they said,  “These men are Jews, and they are disturbing our city. They advocate  customs that are not lawful for us as Romans to accept or practice.” The  crowd joined in attacking them, and the magistrates tore the garments  off them and gave orders to beat them with rods. And when they had  inflicted many blows upon them, they threw them into prison, ordering  the jailer to keep them safely. Having received this order, he put them  into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks. About  midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the  prisoners were listening to them, and suddenly there was a great  earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And  immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone’s bonds were  unfastened. When the jailer woke and saw that the prison doors were  open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that  the prisoners had escaped. Acts 16:16‭-‬27 ESV
