Acts 16:17 in Context — Acts 16

15 E quando ela foi batizada, e [também] sua casa, ela [nos] rogou, dizendo: Se vós tendes julgado que eu seja fiel ao Senhor, entrai em minha casa e ficai ali.E ela insistiu para conosco.

16 E aconteceu, que ao estarmos nós indo à oração, saiu ao nosso encontro uma moça que tinha espírito de pitonisa; a qual ao fazer adivinhações trazia grande lucro a seus senhores.

17 Esta, seguindo após Paulo e nós, clamava, dizendo: Estes homens são servos do Deus Altíssimo, que nos anunciam o caminho da salvação.

18 E ela fazia isto por muitos dias. Mas Paulo, estando descontente com isto, virou-se, e disse ao espírito: Em nome de Jesus Cristo eu te mando que saias dela.E na mesma hora [o espírito] saiu.

19 E os senhores dela, vendo que a esperança de lucro deles tinha ido embora, pegaram a Paulo e a Silas, e [os] levaram à praça, diante dos governantes.
