Acts 16:19

_ _ when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas — as the leading persons.

_ _ and drew them into the market-place — or Forum, where the courts were.

_ _ to the magistrates, saying, etc. — We have here a full and independent confirmation of the reality of this supernatural cure, since on any other supposition such conduct would be senseless.
