18 She did this for many days. But becoming greatly troubled, Paul turned to the spirit and said, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” And it came out at that moment.
19 When her masters saw that the hope of their profits was gone, they seized Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the marketplace to the rulers.
20 And they brought them to the magistrates, saying, “These men, being Jews, greatly trouble our city
21 and teach customs which are not lawful for us, being Romans, to receive or observe.”
22 The crowd rose up together against them. And the magistrates tore the garments off them and gave orders to beat them.
23 After they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, commanding the jailer to guard them securely.
24 Having received such an order, he threw them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.
