Acts 16

1And he cameG2658 to DerbeG1191 and LystraG3082: and beholdG2400, a certainG5100 discipleG3101 wasG1510 there, by nameG3686 Timotheus, sonG5207 of a JewishG2453 believing womanG1135, but [the] fatherG3962 a GreekG1672, 2who had a [good] testimony of the brethren in LystraG3082 and IconiumG2430. 3Him would PaulG3972 have goG1831 forthG1831 with him, and tookG2983 [him and] circumcisedG4059 him on accountG1223 of the JewsG2453 who wereG1510 in those placesG5117, for they all knew his fatherG3962 that he wasG1510 a GreekG1672. 4And as they passed through the citiesG4172 they instructed them to observe the decrees determined on by the apostlesG652 and eldersG4245 who were in JerusalemG2414. 5The assemblies thereforeG3767 were confirmed in the faithG4102, and increased in numberG706 every dayG2250. 6And having passedG1330 through PhrygiaG5435 and the GalatianG1054 countryG5561, having been forbidden by the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 to speakG2980 the wordG3056 in AsiaG773, 7having comeG2064 down to MysiaG3465, they attempted to goG4198 to BithyniaG978, and the SpiritG4151 of JesusG2424 did not allowG1439 them; 8and having passedG3928 by MysiaG3465 they descendedG2597 to TroasG5174. 9And a visionG3705 appeared to PaulG3972 in the nightG3571: There wasG1510 a certainG5100 MacedonianG3110 manG435, standingG2476 and beseechingG3870 him, and sayingG3004, Pass over into MacedoniaG3109 and helpG997 us. 10And whenG5613 he had seenG3708 the visionG3705, immediatelyG2112 we soughtG2212 to goG1831 forthG1831 to MacedoniaG3109, concluding that the Lord had calledG4341 us to announce to them the glad tidings. 11Having sailed thereforeG3767 awayG575 from TroasG5174, we went in a straight course to Samothracia, and on the morrow to Neapolis, 12and thence to PhilippiG5375, which isG1510 [the] firstG4413 cityG4172 of that partG3310 of MacedoniaG3109, a colony. And we wereG1510 stayingG1304 in that cityG4172 certainG5100 daysG2250. 13And on the sabbathG4521 dayG2250 we wentG1831 outside the gateG4439 by the riverG4215, whereG3757 it wasG1510 the custom for prayerG4335 to beG1510, and we satG2523 downG2523 and spokeG2980 to the womenG1135 who had assembled. 14And a certainG5100 womanG1135, by nameG3686 LydiaG3070, a seller of purple, of the cityG4172 of ThyatiraG2363, who worshipped 1GodG2316, heardG191; whose heartG2588 the LordG2962 openedG1272 to attend to the thingsG3739 spokenG2980 by PaulG3972. 15And whenG5613 she had beenG1510 baptised and her houseG3624, she besought [us], sayingG3004, If ye have judgedG2919 me to beG1510 faithfulG4103 to the LordG2962, comeG1525 into my houseG3624 and abideG3306 [there]. And she constrained us. 16And it cameG1096 to passG1096 as we were goingG4198 to prayerG4335 that a certainG5100 female slave, having a spiritG4151 of Python, met us, who broughtG3930 muchG4183 profit to her mastersG2962 by prophesying. 17She, having followed PaulG3972 and us, criedG2896 sayingG3004, These menG444 areG1510 bondmen of the MostG5310 HighG5310 2GodG2316, who announce to you [the] wayG3598 of salvationG4991. 18And this she did manyG4183 daysG2250. And PaulG3972, being distressed, turnedG1994, and saidG3004 to the spiritG4151, I enjoin thee in the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 to comeG1831 out of her. And it cameG1831 out the sameG846 hourG5610. 19And her mastersG2962, seeingG3708 that the hopeG1680 of their gains was goneG1831, having seized PaulG3972 and SilasG4609, dragged [them] into the market before the magistrates; 20and having broughtG4317 them up to the praetors, saidG3004, These menG444 utterly trouble our cityG4172, being JewsG2453, 21and announce customsG1485 which it isG1510 not lawfulG1832 for us to receiveG3858 nor practise, beingG1510 RomansG4514. 22And the crowdG3793 rose up too against them; and the praetors, having torn off their clothesG2440, commandedG2753 to scourge [them]. 23And having laidG2007 manyG4183 stripes upon them they castG906 [them] into prisonG5438, charging the jailor to keepG5083 them safely; 24who, having receivedG2983 such a chargeG3852, castG906 them into the inner prisonG5438, and secured their feetG4228 to the stocks. 25And at midnightG3317 PaulG3972 and SilasG4609, in prayingG4336, were praising 3GodG2316 with singing, and the prisonersG1198 listened to them. 26And suddenlyG869 there was a greatG3173 earthquakeG4578, so that the foundationsG2310 of the prisonG1201 shook, and all the doorsG2374 were immediatelyG3916 openedG455, and the bonds of all loosed. 27And the jailor being awakened out of his sleep, and seeingG3708 the doorsG2374 of the prisonG5438 openedG455, having drawn a swordG3162 was going to kill himself, thinking the prisonersG1198 had fled. 28But PaulG3972 called out with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, sayingG3004, Do thyself no harmG2556, for we areG1510 all hereG1759. 29And having askedG154 for lightsG5457, he rushed in, and, trembling, fell downG4363 before PaulG3972 and SilasG4609. 30And leading them out saidG5346, SirsG2962, what must I do that I may be savedG4982? 31And they saidG3004, BelieveG4100 on the LordG2962 JesusG2424 and thou shalt be savedG4982, thou and thy houseG3624. 32And they spokeG2980 to him the wordG3056 of the LordG2962, with all that were in his houseG3614. 33And he tookG3880 them the sameG846 hourG5610 of the nightG3571 and washedG3068 [them] from their stripes; and was baptised, he and all his straightway. 34And having broughtG321 them into his houseG3624 he laid the tableG5132 [for them], and rejoicedG21 with all his houseG3624, having believedG4100 in 4GodG2316. 35And when it was dayG2250, the praetors sentG649 the lictors, sayingG3004, Let those menG444 goG630. 36And the jailor reportedG518 these wordsG3056 to PaulG3972: The praetors have sentG649 that ye may be let goG4198. NowG1161 thereforeG3767 goG4198 out and departG1831 in peaceG1515. 37But PaulG3972 saidG5346 to them, Having beatenG1194 us publiclyG1219 uncondemnedG178, us who are RomansG4514, they have castG906 us into prisonG5438, and nowG1161 they thrust us out secretlyG2977? no, indeed, but let them comeG2064 themselves and bringG906 us out. 38And the lictors reportedG518 these words to the praetors. And they wereG1510 afraidG5399 when they heardG191 they wereG1510 RomansG4514. 39And they cameG2064 and besought them, and having brought them out, askedG2065 them to goG565 out of the cityG4172. 40And having goneG1831 out of the prisonG5438, they cameG1831 to LydiaG3070; and having seenG3708 the brethren, they exhortedG3870 them and wentG1831 awayG1831.
