Where did Paul cure a slave girl who had a spirit of divination?
- A) Philippi
- B) Ephesus
- C) Athens
- D) Antioch
Correct Answer: A) Philippi
Explanation
In the book of Acts in the Bible, Paul cured a slave girl who had a spirit of divination. The question is asking where this happened. The options given are Philippi, Ephesus, Athens, and Antioch. The correct answer is option A, Philippi.
Philippi is a city in Macedonia where Paul and his companions went on a missionary journey. Acts 16:16-18 tells us that a slave girl with a spirit of divination followed Paul and his companions, proclaiming that they were servants of God. Paul exorcised the spirit from her, which caused her owners to become angry because they were making money from her divination. As a result, they had Paul and his companions arrested.
Ephesus is also mentioned in the book of Acts as a place where Paul performed miracles and preached. However, the incident with the slave girl did not occur in Ephesus.
Athens and Antioch are also mentioned in the book of Acts, but they are not the correct answer to this question.
It's important to read and understand the Bible to know the stories of the apostles and the places they visited during their missionary journeys. This knowledge helps us understand the history of Christianity and its spread throughout the world.
