In this episode, Eddie unpacks the section in Acts 16 where Luke tells of Paul casting a false prophetic spirit out of a young woman. He shows that the English word" divination" in 16:16 is a translation of the Greek word "python" and he shows how this word was associated with prophecy by the ancient Greek and Romans.
