¹⁸ She continued to do that for many days. Finally Paul became irritated. So he turned toward the young woman and rebuked the evil spirit that was in her. He said, “By the authority MTY of Jesus Christ, I command you (sg) to come out of this young woman!” Right away the evil spirit left her.

¹⁹ And then her owners realized that she could no longer earn money for them because she could no longer predict what would happen to people, so they were angry.
