Acts 16vv16-end - repeated words

 I have been working on Acts 16:16ff, the miraculous escape from prison in Philippi. 

It is perhaps just worth noting a couple of repeated words which might not leap out from the English translations. 

Vv18 & 19 – exe_lthen repeated – the spirit was gone from the slave girl so her owners’ way of making money was gone

Vv39 and 40 – repetition of parekalesan – v39, The magistrates appeased / besought / urged / begged / pleaded with / apologised to Paul and Silas and v40, Paul and Silas encourage / comfort / exhort the brothers
