16 우리가 기도하는 곳에 가다가 점하는 귀신 들린 여종 하나를 만나니 점으로 그 주인들을 크게 이(利)하게 하는지라
17 바울과 우리를 좇아와서 소리 질러 가로되 이 사람들은 지극히 높은 하나님의 종으로 구원의 길을 너희에게 전하는 자라' 하며
18 이같이 여러 날을 하는지라 바울이 심히 괴로와하여 돌이켜 그 귀신에게 이르되 예수 그리스도의 이름으로 내가 네게 명하노니 그에게서 나오라' 하니 귀신이 즉시 나오니라
19 종의 주인들은 자기 이익의 소망이 끊어진 것을 보고 바울과 실라를 잡아 가지고 저자로 관원들에게 끌어 갔다가
20 상관들 앞에 데리고 가서 말하되 이 사람들이 유대인인데 우리 성을 심히 요란케 하여
21 로마 사람인 우리가 받지도 못하고 행치도 못할 풍속을 전한다' 하거늘
22 무리가 일제히 일어나 송사하니 상관들이 옷을 찢어 벗기고 매로 치라 하여
23 많이 친 후에 옥에 가두고 간수에게 분부하여 든든히 지키라' 하니
24 그가 이러한 영을 받아 저희를 깊은 옥에 가두고 그 발을 착고에 든든히 채웠더니
25 밤중쯤 되어 바울과 실라가 기도하고 하나님을 찬미하매 죄수들이 듣더라
26 이에 홀연히 큰 지진이 나서 옥터가 움직이고 문이 곧 다 열리며 모든 사람의 매인 것이 다 벗어진지라
27 간수가 자다가 깨어 옥문들이 열린 것을 보고 죄수들이 도망한 줄 생각하고 검을 빼어 자결하려 하거늘
28 바울이 크게 소리질러 가로되 네 몸을 상하지 말라 우리가 다 여기 있노라' 하니
29 간수가 등불을 달라고 하며 뛰어 들어가 무서워 떨며 바울과 실라 앞에 부복하고
30 저희를 데리고 나가 가로되 선생들아, 내가 어떻게 하여야 구원을 얻으리이까 ?' 하거늘
31 가로되 주 예수를 믿으라 ! 그리하면 너와 네 집이 구원을 얻으리라 !' 하고
32 주의 말씀을 그 사람과 그 집에 있는 모든 사람에게 전하더라
33 밤 그 시에 간수가 저희를 데려다가 그 맞은 자리를 씻기고 자기와 그 권속이 다 세례를 받은 후
34 저희를 데리고 자기 집에 올라가서 음식을 차려 주고 저와 온 집이 하나님을 믿었으므로 크게 기뻐하니라
35 날이 새매 상관들이 아전을 보내어 이 사람들을 놓으라' 하니
36 간수가 이 말대로 바울에게 고하되 상관들이 사람을 보내어 너희를 놓으라 하였으니 이제는 나가서 평안히 가라' 하거늘
37 바울이 이르되 로마 사람인 우리를 죄도 정치 아니하고 공중 앞에서 때리고 옥에 가두었다가 이제는 가만히 우리를 내어 보내고자 하느냐 ? 아니라 저희가 친히 와서 우리를 데리고 나가야 하리라' 한대
38 아전들이 이 말로 상관들에게 고하니 저희가 로마 사람이라 하는 말을 듣고 두려워하여
39 와서 권하여 데리고 나가 성에서 떠나기를 청하니
40 두 사람이 옥에서 나가 루디아의 집에 들어가서 형제들을 만나 보고 위로하고 가니라
16 And when we were going to the place of prayer, we came across a girl with a spirit which gave knowledge of the future, whose masters made great profit from her power.
17 She came after Paul and us, crying out and saying, These men are the servants of the Most High God, who are giving you news of the way of salvation.
18 And this she did on a number of days. But Paul was greatly troubled and, turning, said to the spirit, I give you orders in the name of Jesus Christ, to come out of her. And it came out that very hour.
19 But when her masters saw that their hope of profit was gone, they took Paul and Silas, pulling them into the market-place before the rulers;
20 And when they had taken them before the authorities, they said, These men, who are Jews, are greatly troubling our town;
21 Teaching rules of living which it is not right for us to have or to keep, being Romans.
22 And the people made an attack on them all together: and the authorities took their clothing off them, and gave orders for them to be whipped.
23 And when they had given them a great number of blows, they put them in prison, giving orders to the keeper of the prison to keep them safely:
24 And he, having such orders, put them into the inner prison with chains on their feet.
25 But about the middle of the night, Paul and Silas were making prayers and songs to God in the hearing of the prisoners;
26 And suddenly there was an earth-shock, so that the base of the prison was moved: and all the doors came open, and everyone's chains came off.
27 And the keeper, coming out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, took his sword and was about to put himself to death, fearing that the prisoners had got away.
28 But Paul said in a loud voice, Do yourself no damage, for we are all here.
29 And he sent for lights and came rushing in and, shaking with fear, went down on his face before Paul and Silas,
30 And took them out and said, Sirs, what have I to do to get salvation?
31 And they said, Have faith in the Lord Jesus, and you and your family will have salvation.
32 And they gave the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house.
33 And that same hour of the night, he took them, and when he had given attention to their wounds, he and all his family had baptism straight away.
34 And he took them into his house and gave them food, and he was full of joy, having faith in God with all his family.
35 But when it was day, the authorities sent the police, saying, Let these men go.
36 And the keeper said to Paul, The authorities have given orders to let you go: come out now, and go in peace.
37 But Paul said to them, They have given us who are Romans a public whipping without judging us, and have put us in prison. Will they now send us out secretly? no, truly, let them come themselves and take us out.
38 And the police gave an account of these words to the authorities, and they were full of fear on hearing that they were Romans;
39 Then they came and made prayers to them, requesting them, when they had taken them out, to go away from the town.
40 And they came out of the prison and went to the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brothers they gave them comfort and went away.
