Acts 16:1-12

1Paul cameG2658 alsoG2532 to 1DerbeG1191 and to 2LystraG3082. And a discipleG3101 was thereG1563, namedG3686 3TimothyG5095, the sonG5207 of a 4JewishG2453 womanG1135 who was a believerG4103, but his fatherG3962 was a GreekG1672, 2and he was wellG3140 spokenG3140 of by 5the brethrenG80 who were in 6LystraG3082 and 7IconiumG2430. 3PaulG3972 wantedG2309 thisG3778 manG3778 to 8goG1831 with him; and he 9tookG2983 him and circumcisedG4059 him becauseG1223 of the JewsG2453 who were in thoseG1565 partsG5117, for they allG537 knewG3609 that his fatherG3962 was a GreekG1672. 4NowG1161 whileG5613 they were passingG1279 throughG1279 the citiesG4172, they were deliveringG3860 10the decreesG1378 which had been decidedG2919 upon by 11the apostlesG652 and 12eldersG4245 whoG3588 were in JerusalemG2414, for them to observeG5442. 5SoG3767 13the churchesG1577 were being strengthenedG4732 14in the faithG4102, and were 15increasingG4052 in numberG706 dailyG2596G2250.

6They passedG1330 throughG1330 the 1617PhrygianG5435 and 18GalatianG1054 regionG5561, having been forbiddenG2967 by the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 to speakG2980 the wordG3056 in 1920AsiaG773; 7and after they cameG2064 to 21MysiaG3465, they were tryingG3985 to goG4198 into 22BithyniaG978, and the 23SpiritG4151 of JesusG2424 did not permitG1439 them; 8and passingG3928 by 24MysiaG3465, they cameG2597 downG2597 to 25TroasG5174. 926A visionG3705 appearedG3708 to PaulG3972 in the nightG3571: a manG435 of 27MacedoniaG3110 was standingG2476 and appealingG3870 to him, and sayingG3004, “ComeG1224 overG1224 to MacedoniaG3109 and helpG997 us.” 10WhenG5613 he had seenG3708 28the visionG3705, immediatelyG2112 29we soughtG2212 to 30goG1831 into MacedoniaG3109, concludingG4822 that GodG2316 had calledG4341 us to 31preachG2097 the gospelG2097 to them.

11SoG3767 puttingG321 out to seaG321 from 32TroasG5174, we ranG2113 33a straightG2113 courseG2113 to SamothraceG4543, and on the day followingG1897 to NeapolisG3496; 12and from thereG2547 to 34PhilippiG5375, whichG3748 is a leadingG4413 cityG4172 of the districtG3310 of 35MacedoniaG3109, 36a Roman colonyG2862; and we were stayingG1304 in thisG3778 cityG4172 for someG5100 daysG2250.
