Acts 16:1-12
1And he cameG2658 alsoG2532 to DerbeG1191 and to LystraG3082: and beholdG2400, a certainG5100 discipleG3101 wasG1510 there, namedG3686 TimothyG5095, the sonG5207 of a Jewess that believed; but his fatherG3962 wasG1510 a GreekG1672. 2The same was well reported of by the brethren that were at LystraG3082 and IconiumG2430. 3Him would PaulG3972 have to goG1831 forthG1831 with him; and he tookG2983 and circumcisedG4059 him because of the JewsG2453 that wereG1510 in those parts: for they all knew that his fatherG3962 wasG1510 a GreekG1672. 4And as they went on their way through the citiesG4172, they deliveredG3860 them the decrees to keepG5442 which had been ordained of the apostlesG652 and eldersG4245 that were at JerusalemG2414. 5So the churchesG1577 were strengthenedG4732 in the faithG4102, and increased in numberG706 daily.
6And they wentG1330 through the regionG5561 of PhrygiaG5435 and Galatia, having been forbidden of the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 to speakG2980 the wordG3056 in AsiaG773; 7and when they were comeG2064 over against MysiaG3465, they assayed to goG4198 into BithyniaG978; and the SpiritG4151 of JesusG2424 suffered them not; 8and passingG3928 by MysiaG3465, they cameG2597 downG2597 to TroasG5174. 9And a visionG3705 appeared to PaulG3972 in the nightG3571: There wasG1510 a manG435 of MacedoniaG3109 standingG2476, beseechingG3870 him, and sayingG3004, Come over into MacedoniaG3109, and helpG997 us. 10And whenG5613 he had seenG3708 the visionG3705, straightway we soughtG2212 to goG1831 forthG1831 into MacedoniaG3109, concluding that GodG2316 had calledG4341 us to preach the gospel unto them.
11SettingG321 sailG321 thereforeG3767 from TroasG5174, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis; 12and from thence to PhilippiG5375, which isG1510 a cityG4172 of MacedoniaG3109, the firstG4413 of the district, a Roman colony: and we wereG1510 in this cityG4172 tarrying certainG5100 daysG2250.
