Apostlenes gjerninger 16,19

PaulSilas
Money and wealth

17 Hun fulgte etter Paulus og oss, og ropte: "Disse mennene er Den Høyeste Guds tjenere, som forkynner dere veien til frelse."

18 Hun fortsatte med dette i mange dager. Paulus, sterkt irritert, vendte seg og sa til ånden: "Jeg befaler deg i Jesu Kristi navn å komme ut av henne!" Og den forlot henne i det øyeblikket.

Da hennes eiere så at deres håp om profitt var borte, grep de Paulus og Silas og dro dem til torget foran myndighetene.

20 De førte dem til magistratene og sa: "Disse mennene er jøder og forårsaker problemer i vår by,

21 og forkynner skikker som er ulovlige for oss romere å akseptere eller praktisere."
