Acts 16:7-15

7and after they came to 1Mysia, they were trying to go into 2Bithynia, and the 3Spirit of Jesus did not allow them; 8and passing by 4Mysia, they went down to 5Troas. 96And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: a man of 7Macedonia was standing and pleading with him, and saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.” 10When he had seen 8the vision, 9we immediately sought to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to 10preach the gospel to them.

11So after setting sail from 11Troas, we ran 12a straight course to Samothrace, and on the following day to Neapolis; 12and from there to 13Philippi, which is a leading city of the district of 14Macedonia, 15a Roman colony; and we were spending some days in this city. 13And on 16the Sabbath day we went outside the gate to a riverside, where we were thinking that there was a place of prayer; and we sat down and began speaking to the women who had assembled. 14A woman named Lydia was listening; she was a seller of purple fabrics from the city of 17Thyatira, and 18a worshiper of God. 19The Lord 20opened her heart to respond to the things spoken by Paul. 15Now when she and 21her household had been baptized, she urged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay.” And she prevailed upon us.
