Acts 16:7-15

7and after they cameG2064 to 1MysiaG3465, they were tryingG3985 to goG4198 into 2BithyniaG978, and the 3SpiritG4151 of JesusG2424 did not allowG1439 them; 8and passingG3928 by 4MysiaG3465, they wentG2597 downG2597 to 5TroasG5174. 96And a visionG3705 appearedG3708 to PaulG3972 in the nightG3571: a manG435 of 7MacedoniaG3110 was standingG2476 and pleadingG3870 with him, and sayingG3004, “ComeG1224 overG1224 to MacedoniaG3109 and helpG997 us.” 10WhenG5613 he had seenG3708 8the visionG3705, 9we immediatelyG2112 soughtG2212 to leaveG1831 for MacedoniaG3109, concludingG4822 that GodG2316 had calledG4341 us to 10preachG2097 the gospelG2097 to them.

11SoG3767 after settingG321 sailG321 from 11TroasG5174, we ranG2113 12aG2113 straightG2113 courseG2113 to SamothraceG4543, and on the followingG1897 day to NeapolisG3496; 12and fromG2547 thereG2547 to 13PhilippiG5375, whichG3748 is a leadingG4413 cityG4172 of the districtG3310 of 14MacedoniaG3109, 15a Roman colonyG2862; and we were spendingG1304 someG5100 daysG2250 in thisG3778 cityG4172. 13And on 16the SabbathG4521 dayG2250 we wentG1831 outsideG1854 the gateG4439 to a riversideG3844G4215, whereG3757 we were thinkingG3543 that there was a placeG4335 ofG4335 prayerG4335; and we satG2523 downG2523 and began speakingG2980 to the womenG1135 who had assembledG4905. 14A womanG1135 namedG3686 LydiaG3070 was listeningG191; she was a sellerG4211 ofG4211 purpleG4211 fabricsG4211 from the cityG4172 of 17ThyatiraG2363, and 18a worshiperG4576 of GodG2316. 19The LordG2962 20openedG1272 her heartG2588 to respondG4337 to the thingsG2980 spokenG2980 by PaulG3972. 15NowG1161 whenG5613 she and 21her householdG3624 had been baptizedG907, she urgedG3870 us, sayingG3004, “IfG1487 you have judgedG2919 me to be faithfulG4103 to the LordG2962, comeG1525 into my houseG3624 and stayG3306.” And she prevailedG3849 upon us.
