In context
18 And this did she many dayes: but Paul being grieued, turned about, and said to the spirit, I commaund thee in the Name of Iesus Christ, that thou come out of her. And he came out the same houre.
19 Nowe when her masters sawe that the hope of their gaine was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drewe them into the market place vnto the Magistrates,
20 And brought them to the gouernours, saying, These men which are Iewes, trouble our citie,
21 And preache ordinances, which are not lawfull for vs to receiue, neither to obserue, seeing we are Romanes.
22 The people also rose vp together against them, and the gouernours rent their clothes, and commanded them to be beaten with roddes.
23 And when they had beaten them sore, they cast them into prison, commaunding the Iayler to keepe them surely.
24 Who hauing receiued such commandement, cast them into the inner prison, and made their feete fast in the stockes.
