Acts 16:14-16
1599 Geneva Bible
14 [a]And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of the Thyatirians, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things, which Paul spake.
15 [b]And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into mine house, and abide there: and she constrained us.
16 [c]And it came to pass that as we went to prayer, a certain maid having a spirit [d]of divination, met us, which gat her masters much vantage with divining.
