16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying: 17 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation. 18 And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.

16 有一次, 我们到祈祷的地方去的时候, 一个被巫鬼附着的婢女迎面而来; 她行占卜使主人们发了大财。

17 她跟着保罗和我们, 喊叫说: "这些人是至高 神的仆人, 向你们传讲得救的道路。"

18 她一连多日这样喊叫, 保罗觉得厌烦, 就转身对那鬼说: "我奉耶稣基督的名, 命令你从她身上出来! "那鬼就立刻出来了。
