16And he came also to Derbe and to Lystra. And behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer, but his father was a Greek,G1161G2658G1519G1191G2532G3082G2532G2400G5100G3101G2258G1563G3686G5095G5207G5100G1135G2453G4103G1161G3962G16722and he was well spoken of by the brethren who were in Lystra and Iconium.G3739G3140G5259G80G1722G3082G2532G24303Paul wanted this man to go with him; and he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.G5126G2309G3972G1831G4862G846G2532G2983G4059G846G1223G2453G3588G5607G1722G1565G5117G1063G1492G537G3754G846G3962G5225G16724Now while they were passing through the cities, they were delivering the decrees, which had been decided upon by the apostles and elders who were in Jerusalem, for them to observe.G1161G5613G1279G4172G3860G846G1378G5442G2919G5259G652G2532G4245G3588G1722G24195So the churches were being strengthened in the faith, and were increasing in number daily.G3303G3767G4732G1577G4732G4102G2532G4052G706G2250G25966And they passed through the Phrygian and Galatian region, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia;G1161G1330G5435G2532G5561G1054G2967G5259G40G4151G2980G3056G1722G7737and when they had come to Mysia, they were trying to go into Bithynia, and the Spirit of Jesus did not permit them;G2064G2596G3465G3985G4198G2596G978G2532G4151G1439G846G37568and passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.G1161G3928G3465G2597G1519G51749And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: a certain man of Macedonia was standing and appealing to him, and saying, "Come over to Macedonia and help us."G2532G3705G3700G3972G1223G3571G2258G2476G5100G435G3110G3870G846G2532G3004G1224G1519G3109G997G225410And when he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.G1161G5613G1492G3705G2112G2212G1831G1519G3109G4822G3754G2962G4341G2248G2097G84611Therefore putting out to sea from Troas, we ran a straight course to Samothrace, and on the day following to Neapolis;G3767G321G575G5174G2113G1519G4543G5037G1966G1519G349612and from there to Philippi, which is a leading city of the district of Macedonia, a [Roman] colony; and we were staying in this city for some days.G5037G1564G1519G5375G3748G2076G4413G4172G3310G3109G2862G1161G2258G1722G5026G4172G1304G5100G225013And on the Sabbath day we went outside the gate to a riverside, where we were supposing that there would be a place of prayer; and we sat down and began speaking to the women who had assembled.G5037G4521G2250G1831G1854G4172G3844G4215G3757G4335G3543G1511G2532G2523G2980G1135G490514And a certain woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, a seller of purple fabrics, a worshiper of God, was listening; and the Lord opened her heart to respond to the things spoken by Paul.G2532G5100G1135G3686G3070G4211G4172G2363G4576G2316G191G3739G2588G2962G1272G4337G2980G5259G397215And when she and her 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.G1161G5613G907G2532G846G3624G3870G3004G1487G2919G3165G1511G4103G2962G1525G1519G3450G3624G3306G2532G3849G224816And it happened that as we were going to the place of prayer, a certain slave-girl having a spirit of divination met us, who was bringing her masters much profit by fortunetelling.G1161G1096G2257G4198G1519G4335G5100G3814G2192G4151G4436G528G2254G3748G3930G846G2962G4183G2039G313217Following after Paul and us, she kept crying out, saying, "These men are bond-servants of the Most High God, who are proclaiming to you the way of salvation."G3778G2628G3972G2532G2254G2896G3004G3778G444G1526G1401G5310G2316G3748G2605G2254G3598G499118And she continued doing this for many days. But Paul was greatly annoyed, and turned and said to the spirit, "I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!" And it came out at that very moment.G1161G5124G4160G1909G4183G2250G1161G3972G1278G1994G2532G2036G4151G3853G4671G1722G3686G2424G5547G1831G575G846G2532G1831G846G561019But when her masters saw that their hope of profit was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the market place before the authorities,G1161G846G2962G1492G3754G1680G846G2039G1831G1949G3972G2532G4609G1670G1519G58G1909G75820and when they had brought them to the chief magistrates, they said, "These men are throwing our city into confusion, being Jews,G2532G4317G846G4755G2036G3778G444G5225G2453G1613G2257G417221and are proclaiming customs which it is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being Romans. "G2532G2605G1485G3739G1832G3756G1832G2254G3858G3761G4160G5607G451422And the crowd rose up together against them, and the chief magistrates tore their robes off them, and proceeded to order [them] to be beaten with rods.G2532G3793G4911G2596G846G2532G4755G4048G846G2440G2753G446323And when they had inflicted many blows upon them, they threw them into prison, commanding the jailer to guard them securely;G5037G2007G4183G4127G846G906G1519G5438G3853G1200G5083G846G80624and he, having received such a command, threw them into the inner prison, and fastened their feet in the stocks.G3739G2983G5108G3852G906G846G1519G2082G5438G2532G805G846G4228G805G1519G358625But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns of praise to God, and the prisoners were listening to them;G1161G2596G3317G3972G2532G4609G4336G5214G2316G1161G1198G1874G84626and suddenly there came a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison house were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone's chains were unfastened.G1161G869G1096G3173G4578G5620G2310G1201G4531G5037G3916G3956G2374G455G2532G3956G1199G44727And when the jailer had been roused out of sleep and had seen the prison doors opened, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.G1161G1200G1096G1853G2532G1492G5438G2374G455G4685G3162G3195G337G1438G3543G1198G162828But Paul cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Do yourself no harm, for we are all here!"G1161G3972G5455G3173G5456G3004G4238G4572G3367G2556G1063G2070G537G175929And he called for lights and rushed in and, trembling with fear, he fell down before Paul and Silas,G1161G154G5457G1530G2532G1096G1790G4363G3972G2532G460930and after he brought them out, he said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"G2532G4254G846G1854G5346G2962G5101G1163G3165G4160G2443G498231And they said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you shall be saved, you and your household."G1161G2036G4100G1909G2962G2424G5547G2532G4771G4982G2532G4675G362432And they spoke the word of the Lord to him together with all who were in his house.G2532G2980G846G3056G2962G2532G3956G1722G846G361433And he took them that [very] hour of the night and washed their wounds, and immediately he was baptized, he and all his [household.]G2532G3880G846G1722G1565G5610G3571G3068G575G4127G2532G907G846G2532G3956G846G391634And he brought them into his house and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly, having believed in God with his whole household.G5037G321G846G1519G3624G3908G5132G3908G2532G21G4100G2316G3832G846G383235Now when day came, the chief magistrates sent their policemen, saying, "Release those men."G1161G1096G2250G4755G649G4465G3004G630G1565G444G63036And the jailer reported these words to Paul, [saying,] "The chief magistrates have sent to release you. Now therefore, come out and go in peace."G1161G1200G518G5128G3056G4314G3972G3754G4755G649G2443G630G3568G3767G1831G4198G1722G151537But Paul said to them, "They have beaten us in public without trial, men who are Romans, and have thrown us into prison; and now are they sending us away secretly? No indeed! But let them come themselves and bring us out."G1161G3972G5346G4314G846G1194G2248G1219G178G5225G4514G444G906G1519G5438G2532G3568G1544G2248G1544G2977G3756G1063G235G2064G846G1806G2248G180638And the policemen reported these words to the chief magistrates. And they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans,G1161G4465G312G5023G4487G4755G2532G5399G191G3754G1526G451439and they came and appealed to them, and when they had brought them out, they kept begging them to leave the city.G2532G2064G3870G846G2532G1806G2065G1831G417240And they went out of the prison and entered [the house of] Lydia, and when they saw the brethren, they encouraged them and departed.G1161G1831G1537G5438G1525G1519G3070G2532G1492G80G3870G846G2532G1831
