Paul, Silas and their team were in Philippi (Acts 16:11-12). The riverside meeting place, where God-fearers gathered to hear the gospel (Acts 16:13), also attracted a demonised woman. She may have been mentally disturbed or abandoned by her family, but she became a slave who made money for her owners: she was a social curiosity who claimed to predict the future. Following Paul and his team, she slandered the gospel messengers by claiming that she could validate their authority. The apostle was clear that her behaviour was triggered by a demon: as was proved by subsequent events.
