Deeds (Act) of Apostles 16:11-18

¹¹And we went by ship from Troas, and came to Samothracia with straight course, or Soothly we going by boat, or sailing, from Troas, with straight course came to Samothracia; and the day (pur)suing to Neapolis (or and the following day to Neapolis);

¹²and from thence to Philippi, that is the first part of Macedonia, the city colony. And we were in this city some days, and spake together.

¹³And in the day of sabbaths we went forth without the gate beside the river, where prayer seemed to be or where prayer was seen to be; and we sat, and spake to women that came together.

¹⁴And a woman, Lydia by name, a purpless of the city of Thyatira, worshipping God, heard; whose heart the Lord opened to give attention to these things, that were said of Paul.

¹⁵And when she was baptized and her house, she prayed (or she beseeched us), and said, If ye have deemed that I am faithful to the Lord, enter ye into mine house, and dwell (there). And she constrained us.

¹⁶And it was done, when we went to prayer, that a damsel or a wench that had a spirit of divination, met us, which gave great winning to her lords in divining, (or who brought much profit to her masters by her divining, or through her fortune-telling).

¹⁷This (woman) (pur)sued Paul and us, and cried, and said, These men be servants of the high God, that tell to you the way of health. (She followed Paul and the rest of us, and cried, and said, These men be servants of the Most High God, who can tell you the way of salvation.)

¹⁸And this she did in many days (or And she did this for many days). And Paul sorrowed, and turned, and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ, that thou go out of her. And he went out in the same hour.
