Once, as we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a slave girl who had a spirit of divination and made a great deal of money for her owners by fortune-telling.
In context
14One of them, a woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth from the city of Thyatira, was a worshiper of God, and the Lord opened her heart to attend to what Paul was saying. 15When she and her household had been baptized, she urged us, “If you have judged me faithful to the Lord, come and stay at my house.” And she would not take no for an answer. 16Once, as we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a slave girl who had a spirit of divination and made a great deal of money for her owners by fortune-telling. 17She kept following Paul and the rest of us, shouting, “These men are servants of the Most High God, and they are announcing to you the way of salvation.” 18She did this for many days, until Paul, worn out by it, turned and said to the spirit, “In the name of Jesus Christ I order you to come out of her.” And it came out that very hour.
