16Paul came also to Derbe and to Lystra. A disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer, but his father was a Greek.G1161G2658G1519G1191G2532G3082G2532G2400G5100G3101G2258G1563G3686G5095G5207G5100G1135G2453G4103G1161G3962G16722He was well spoken of by the brothers at Lystra and Iconium.G3739G3140G5259G80G1722G3082G2532G24303Paul wanted Timothy to accompany him, and he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those places, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.G5126G2309G3972G1831G4862G846G2532G2983G4059G846G1223G2453G3588G5607G1722G1565G5117G1063G1492G537G3754G846G3962G5225G16724As they went on their way through the cities, they delivered to them for observance the decisions that had been reached by the apostles and elders who were in Jerusalem.G1161G5613G1279G4172G3860G846G1378G5442G2919G5259G652G2532G4245G3588G1722G24195So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and they increased in numbers daily.G3303G3767G4732G1577G4732G4102G2532G4052G706G2250G25966And they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.G1161G1330G5435G2532G5561G1054G2967G5259G40G4151G2980G3056G1722G7737And when they had come up to Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them.G2064G2596G3465G3985G4198G2596G978G2532G4151G1439G846G37568So, passing by Mysia, they went down to Troas.G1161G3928G3465G2597G1519G51749And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: a man of Macedonia was standing there, urging him and saying, "Come over to Macedonia and help us."G2532G3705G3700G3972G1223G3571G2258G2476G5100G435G3110G3870G846G2532G3004G1224G1519G3109G997G225410And when Paul had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go on into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.G1161G5613G1492G3705G2112G2212G1831G1519G3109G4822G3754G2962G4341G2248G2097G84611So, setting sail from Troas, we made a direct voyage to Samothrace, and the following day to Neapolis,G3767G321G575G5174G2113G1519G4543G5037G1966G1519G349612and from there to Philippi, which is a leading city of the district of Macedonia and a Roman colony. We remained in this city some days.G5037G1564G1519G5375G3748G2076G4413G4172G3310G3109G2862G1161G2258G1722G5026G4172G1304G5100G225013And on the Sabbath day we went outside the gate to the riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, and we sat down and spoke to the women who had come together.G5037G4521G2250G1831G1854G4172G3844G4215G3757G4335G3543G1511G2532G2523G2980G1135G490514One who heard us was a woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, a seller of purple goods, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to pay attention to what was said by Paul.G2532G5100G1135G3686G3070G4211G4172G2363G4576G2316G191G3739G2588G2962G1272G4337G2980G5259G397215And after she was baptized, and her household as well, she urged us, saying, "If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come to my house and stay." And she prevailed upon us.G1161G5613G907G2532G846G3624G3870G3004G1487G2919G3165G1511G4103G2962G1525G1519G3450G3624G3306G2532G3849G224816As we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a slave girl who had a spirit of divination and brought her owners much gain by fortune-telling.G1161G1096G2257G4198G1519G4335G5100G3814G2192G4151G4436G528G2254G3748G3930G846G2962G4183G2039G313217She followed Paul and us, crying out, "These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to you the way of salvation."G3778G2628G3972G2532G2254G2896G3004G3778G444G1526G1401G5310G2316G3748G2605G2254G3598G499118And this she kept doing for many days. Paul, having become greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, "I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her." And it came out that very hour.G1161G5124G4160G1909G4183G2250G1161G3972G1278G1994G2532G2036G4151G3853G4671G1722G3686G2424G5547G1831G575G846G2532G1831G846G561019But when her owners saw that their hope of gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers.G1161G846G2962G1492G3754G1680G846G2039G1831G1949G3972G2532G4609G1670G1519G58G1909G75820And when they had brought them to the magistrates, they said, "These men are Jews, and they are disturbing our city.G2532G4317G846G4755G2036G3778G444G5225G2453G1613G2257G417221They advocate customs that are not lawful for us as Romans to accept or practice."G2532G2605G1485G3739G1832G3756G1832G2254G3858G3761G4160G5607G451422The crowd joined in attacking them, and the magistrates tore the garments off them and gave orders to beat them with rods.G2532G3793G4911G2596G846G2532G4755G4048G846G2440G2753G446323And when they had inflicted many blows upon them, they threw them into prison, ordering the jailer to keep them safely.G5037G2007G4183G4127G846G906G1519G5438G3853G1200G5083G846G80624Having received this order, he put them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.G3739G2983G5108G3852G906G846G1519G2082G5438G2532G805G846G4228G805G1519G358625About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them,G1161G2596G3317G3972G2532G4609G4336G5214G2316G1161G1198G1874G84626and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone's bonds were unfastened.G1161G869G1096G3173G4578G5620G2310G1201G4531G5037G3916G3956G2374G455G2532G3956G1199G44727When the jailer woke and saw that the prison doors were open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.G1161G1200G1096G1853G2532G1492G5438G2374G455G4685G3162G3195G337G1438G3543G1198G162828But Paul cried with a loud voice, "Do not harm yourself, for we are all here."G1161G3972G5455G3173G5456G3004G4238G4572G3367G2556G1063G2070G537G175929And the jailer called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas.G1161G154G5457G1530G2532G1096G1790G4363G3972G2532G460930Then he brought them out and said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"G2532G4254G846G1854G5346G2962G5101G1163G3165G4160G2443G498231And they said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household."G1161G2036G4100G1909G2962G2424G5547G2532G4771G4982G2532G4675G362432And they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house.G2532G2980G846G3056G2962G2532G3956G1722G846G361433And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their wounds; and he was baptized at once, he and all his family.G2532G3880G846G1722G1565G5610G3571G3068G575G4127G2532G907G846G2532G3956G846G391634Then he brought them up into his house and set food before them. And he rejoiced along with his entire household that he had believed in God.G5037G321G846G1519G3624G3908G5132G3908G2532G21G4100G2316G3832G846G383235But when it was day, the magistrates sent the police, saying, "Let those men go."G1161G1096G2250G4755G649G4465G3004G630G1565G444G63036And the jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, "The magistrates have sent to let you go. Therefore come out now and go in peace."G1161G1200G518G5128G3056G4314G3972G3754G4755G649G2443G630G3568G3767G1831G4198G1722G151537But Paul said to them, "They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men who are Roman citizens, and have thrown us into prison; and do they now throw us out secretly? No! Let them come themselves and take us out."G1161G3972G5346G4314G846G1194G2248G1219G178G5225G4514G444G906G1519G5438G2532G3568G1544G2248G1544G2977G3756G1063G235G2064G846G1806G2248G180638The police reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Roman citizens.G1161G4465G312G5023G4487G4755G2532G5399G191G3754G1526G451439So they came and apologized to them. And they took them out and asked them to leave the city.G2532G2064G3870G846G2532G1806G2065G1831G417240So they went out of the prison and visited Lydia. And when they had seen the brothers, they encouraged them and departed.G1161G1831G1537G5438G1525G1519G3070G2532G1492G80G3870G846G2532G1831
