Paul's Second Missionary Journey with Map
In Philippi Paul cast a demon out of a slave girl who brought her masters much profit by telling fortunes. When the masters found out they dragged Paul and Silas into the marketplace and got the crowd to tear off their clothes and beat them with rods, and they were thrown into a Roman prison with stocks and chains. But at midnight when they were praying and singing an earthquake freed them and when the jailer saw, he accepted Jesus Christ. When the officials heard, they begged them to leave the city.
Philippi was an important city in history. The town was named after Philip II of Macedon, and later it became the scene of the decisive battle between the forces of Brutus and Cassius on one side, and of Octavian and Antony on the other.
