Acts 16
Then
came
he
to
Derbe
and
Lystra:
and,
behold,
a
certain
disciple
was
there,
named
a
Timotheus,
the
son
of
a
certain
woman,
which
was
a
b
Jewess,
and
believed;
but
his
father
was
a
Greek:
2 Which
was
well
reported
of
by
the
brethren
that
were
at
Lystra
and
Iconium.
3 Him
would
Paul
have
to
go
forth
with
him;
and
took
and
a
circumcised
him
because
of
the
Jews
which
were
in
those
quarters:
for
they
knew
all
that
his
father
was
a
Greek.
4 And
as
they
went
through
the
cities,
they
delivered
them
the
a
decrees
for
to
keep,
that
were
ordained
of
the
apostles
and
elders
which
were
at
Jerusalem.
5 And
so
were
the
churches
a
established
in
the
faith,
and
increased
in
number
daily.
6 Now
when
they
had
gone
throughout
Phrygia
and
the
region
of
Galatia,
and
were
forbidden
of
the
a
Holy
Ghost
to
preach
the
word
in
Asia,
7 After
they
were
come
to
Mysia,
they
assayed
to
go
into
Bithynia:
but
the
Spirit
suffered
them
not.
8 And
they
passing
by
Mysia
came
down
to
Troas.
9 And
a
a
vision
appeared
to
Paul
in
the
night;
There
stood
a
man
of
Macedonia,
and
prayed
him,
saying,
Come
over
into
Macedonia,
and
help
us.
10 And
after
he
had
seen
the
vision,
immediately
we
endeavoured
to
go
into
Macedonia,
assuredly
gathering
that
the
Lord
had
called
us
for
to
preach
the
gospel
unto
them.
11 Therefore
loosing
from
Troas,
we
came
with
a
straight
course
to
Samothracia,
and
the
next
day
to
Neapolis;
12 And
from
thence
to
Philippi,
which
is
the
chief
city
of
that
part
of
Macedonia,
and
a
colony:
and
we
were
in
that
city
abiding
certain
days.
13 And
on
the
sabbath
we
went
out
of
the
city
by
a
river
side,
where
prayer
was
wont
to
be
made;
and
we
sat
down,
and
spake
unto
the
women
which
resorted
thither.
14 And
a
certain
woman
named
a
Lydia,
a
seller
of
purple,
of
the
city
of
Thyatira,
which
worshipped
God,
heard
us:
whose
b
heart
the
Lord
opened,
that
she
attended
unto
the
things
which
were
spoken
of
Paul.
15 And
when
she
was
baptized,
and
her
household,
she
besought
us,
saying,
If
ye
have
judged
me
to
be
faithful
to
the
Lord,
come
into
my
house,
and
a
abide
there.
And
she
constrained
us.
16 And
it
came
to
pass,
as
we
went
to
prayer,
a
certain
damsel
possessed
with
a
spirit
of
divination
met
us,
which
brought
her
masters
much
gain
by
a
soothsaying:
17 The
same
followed
Paul
and
us,
and
cried,
saying,
a
These
men
are
the
servants
of
the
most
high
God,
which
shew
unto
us
the
way
of
salvation.
18 And
this
did
she
many
days.
But
Paul,
being
grieved,
turned
and
said
to
the
a
spirit,
I
command
thee
in
the
name
of
Jesus
Christ
to
come
out
of
her.
And
he
came
out
the
same
hour.
19 And
when
her
masters
saw
that
the
hope
of
their
gains
was
gone,
they
caught
Paul
and
Silas,
and
drew
them
into
the
marketplace
unto
the
rulers,
20 And
brought
them
to
the
magistrates,
saying,
These
men,
being
Jews,
do
exceedingly
trouble
our
city,
21 And
teach
customs,
which
are
not
lawful
for
us
to
receive,
neither
to
observe,
being
Romans.
22 And
the
multitude
rose
up
together
against
them:
and
the
magistrates
rent
off
their
clothes,
and
commanded
to
a
beat
them.
23 And
when
they
had
laid
many
a
stripes
upon
them,
they
cast
them
into
prison,
charging
the
jailor
to
keep
them
safely:
24 Who,
having
received
such
a
charge,
thrust
them
into
the
inner
prison,
and
made
their
feet
fast
in
the
stocks.
25 And
at
a
midnight
Paul
and
Silas
prayed,
and
b
sang
praises
unto
God:
and
the
prisoners
heard
them.
26 And
suddenly
there
was
a
great
earthquake,
so
that
the
foundations
of
the
prison
were
shaken:
and
immediately
all
the
a
doors
were
opened,
and
every
one's
bands
were
loosed.
27 And
the
keeper
of
the
prison
awaking
out
of
his
sleep,
and
seeing
the
prison
doors
open,
he
drew
out
his
sword,
and
would
have
killed
himself,
supposing
that
the
prisoners
had
been
fled.
28 But
Paul
cried
with
a
loud
voice,
saying,
Do
thyself
no
harm:
for
we
are
all
here.
29 Then
he
called
for
a
light,
and
sprang
in,
and
came
trembling,
and
fell
down
before
Paul
and
Silas,
30 And
brought
them
out,
and
said,
Sirs,
what
must
I
do
to
be
saved?
31 And
they
said,
a
Believe
on
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
and
thou
shalt
be
saved,
and
thy
house.
32 And
they
spake
unto
him
the
word
of
the
Lord,
and
to
all
that
were
in
his
house.
33 And
he
took
them
the
same
hour
of
the
night,
and
washed
their
stripes;
and
was
baptized,
he
and
all
his,
straightway.
34 And
when
he
had
brought
them
into
his
house,
he
set
meat
before
them,
and
rejoiced,
believing
in
God
with
all
his
house.
35 And
when
it
was
day,
the
magistrates
sent
the
serjeants,
saying,
Let
those
men
go.
36 And
the
keeper
of
the
prison
told
this
saying
to
Paul,
The
magistrates
have
sent
to
let
you
go:
now
therefore
depart,
and
go
in
peace.
37 But
Paul
said
unto
them,
They
have
beaten
us
openly
uncondemned,
being
a
Romans,
and
have
cast
us
into
prison;
and
now
do
they
thrust
us
out
b
privily?
nay
verily;
but
let
them
come
themselves
and
fetch
us
out.
38 And
the
serjeants
told
these
words
unto
the
magistrates:
and
they
feared,
when
they
heard
that
they
were
Romans.
39 And
they
came
and
besought
them,
and
brought
them
out,
and
desired
them
to
depart
out
of
the
city.
40 And
they
went
out
of
the
prison,
and
entered
into
the
house
of
a
Lydia:
and
when
they
had
seen
the
brethren,
they
comforted
them,
and
departed.
