Atos 16

Paul expelled a demon from a slave girl, so officials imprisoned Paul and Silas.

16 Another day, while we (exc) were going to the place where people regularly gathered to pray, we met a young woman who was a slave. An evil spirit was enabling her to be a ventriloquist and to tell people what would happen to them. People paid a lot of money to the men who were her owners, in return for her telling them things that she said would happen to them. 17 This young woman followed Paul and the rest of us. She continually shouted, "These men serve the God who is the greatest of all gods! They are telling you how ◄God can save you so that he will not punish you/to be saved►" 18 She continued to do that for many days. Finally Paul became irritated. So he turned toward the young woman and rebuked the evil spirit that was in her. He said, "By the authority [MTY] of Jesus Christ, I command you (sg) to come out of this young woman!" Right away the evil spirit left her.
