After theG3588 HolyG40 SpiritG4151 had prevented themG2967 from speakingG2980 theG3588 wordG3056 inG1722 the province of AsiaG773,1 they traveled throughG1330 theG3588 regionG5561 of PhrygiaG5435 andG2532 GalatiaG1054. 7AndG1161 when they cameG2064 to the border ofG2596 MysiaG3465, they triedG3985 to enterG4198G1519 BithyniaG978, but theG3588 SpiritG4151 of JesusG2424 would not permitG3756G1439 themG846. 8So they passed byG3928 MysiaG3465 and went downG2597 toG1519 TroasG5174.

DuringG1223 theG3588 nightG3571, PaulG3972 hadG3708 a visionG3705 of aG5100 manG435 of MacedoniaG3110 standingG2476 andG2532 pleading withG3870 himG846, “Come overG1224 toG1519 MacedoniaG3109 and helpG997 usG1473.” 10As soon asG5613 Paul had seenG3708 theG3588 visionG3705, we got readyG2212 to leaveG1831 forG1519 MacedoniaG3109, concludingG4822 thatG3754 GodG2316 had calledG4341 usG1473 to preach the gospelG2097 to themG846.

We sailedG321 fromG575 TroasG5174 straightG2113 toG1519 SamothraceG4543, andG1161 theG3588 following dayG1966 on toG1519 NeapolisG3501G4172. 12From thereG2547 we went toG1519 the Roman colonyG2862 of PhilippiG5375, the leadingG4413 cityG4172 ofG3588 that districtG3310 of MacedoniaG3109.2 AndG1161 we stayedG1510G1304 there several daysG2250.

On theG3588 SabbathG4521G2250 we wentG1831 outsideG1854 theG3588 city gateG4439 alongG3844 the riverG4215, whereG3757 it was customaryG3543 to findG1510 a place of prayerG4335. After sitting downG2523, we spokeG2980 to theG3588 womenG1135 who had gatheredG4905 there.
