Acts 16:6-13

6They passed through the 12Phrygian and 3Galatian region, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in 45Asia; 7and after they came to 6Mysia, they were trying to go into 7Bithynia, and the 8Spirit of Jesus did not permit them; 8and passing by 9Mysia, they came down to 10Troas. 911A vision appeared to Paul in the night: a man of 12Macedonia was standing and appealing to him, and saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.” 10When he had seen 13the vision, immediately 14we sought to 15go into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to 16preach the gospel to them.

11So putting out to sea from 17Troas, we ran 18a straight course to Samothrace, and on the day following to Neapolis; 12and from there to 19Philippi, which is a leading city of the district of 20Macedonia, 21a Roman colony; and we were staying in this city for some days. 13And on 22the Sabbath day we went outside the gate to a riverside, where we were supposing that there would be a place of prayer; and we sat down and began speaking to the women who had assembled.
