English Standard Version Help
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.G1161G2658G1519G1191G2532G3082G2532G2400G5100G3101G2258G1563G3686G5095G5207G5100G1135G2453G4103G1161G3962G1672 2He was well spoken of by the brothers at Lystra and Iconium.G3739G3140G5259G80G1722G3082G2532G2430 3Paul 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.G5126G2309G3972G1831G4862G846G2532G2983G4059G846G1223G2453G3588G5607G1722G1565G5117G1063G1492G537G3754G846G3962G5225G1672 4As 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.G1161G5613G1279G4172G3860G846G1378G5442G2919G5259G652G2532G4245G3588G1722G2419 5So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and they increased in numbers daily.G3303G3767G4732G1577G4732G4102G2532G4052G706G2250G2596 6And they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.G1161G1330G5435G2532G5561G1054G2967G5259G40G4151G2980G3056G1722G773 7And when they had come up to Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them.G2064G2596G3465G3985G4198G2596G978G2532G4151G1439G846G3756 8So, passing by Mysia, they went down to Troas.G1161G3928G3465G2597G1519G5174 9And 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."G2532G3705G3700G3972G1223G3571G2258G2476G5100G435G3110G3870G846G2532G3004G1224G1519G3109G997G2254 10And 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.G1161G5613G1492G3705G2112G2212G1831G1519G3109G4822G3754G2962G4341G2248G2097G846 11So, setting sail from Troas, we made a direct voyage to Samothrace, and the following day to Neapolis,G3767G321G575G5174G2113G1519G4543G5037G1966G1519G3496 12and 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.G5037G1564G1519G5375G3748G2076G4413G4172G3310G3109G2862G1161G2258G1722G5026G4172G1304G5100G2250 13And 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.G5037G4521G2250G1831G1854G4172G3844G4215G3757G4335G3543G1511G2532G2523G2980G1135G4905 14One 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.G2532G5100G1135G3686G3070G4211G4172G2363G4576G2316G191G3739G2588G2962G1272G4337G2980G5259G3972 15And 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.G1161G5613G907G2532G846G3624G3870G3004G1487G2919G3165G1511G4103G2962G1525G1519G3450G3624G3306G2532G3849G2248 16As 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.G1161G1096G2257G4198G1519G4335G5100G3814G2192G4151G4436G528G2254G3748G3930G846G2962G4183G2039G3132 17She followed Paul and us, crying out, "These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to you the way of salvation."G3778G2628G3972G2532G2254G2896G3004G3778G444G1526G1401G5310G2316G3748G2605G2254G3598G4991 18And 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.G1161G5124G4160G1909G4183G2250G1161G3972G1278G1994G2532G2036G4151G3853G4671G1722G3686G2424G5547G1831G575G846G2532G1831G846G5610 19But 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.G1161G846G2962G1492G3754G1680G846G2039G1831G1949G3972G2532G4609G1670G1519G58G1909G758 20And when they had brought them to the magistrates, they said, "These men are Jews, and they are disturbing our city.G2532G4317G846G4755G2036G3778G444G5225G2453G1613G2257G4172 21They advocate customs that are not lawful for us as Romans to accept or practice."G2532G2605G1485G3739G1832G3756G1832G2254G3858G3761G4160G5607G4514 22The crowd joined in attacking them, and the magistrates tore the garments off them and gave orders to beat them with rods.G2532G3793G4911G2596G846G2532G4755G4048G846G2440G2753G4463 23And when they had inflicted many blows upon them, they threw them into prison, ordering the jailer to keep them safely.G5037G2007G4183G4127G846G906G1519G5438G3853G1200G5083G846G806 24Having received this order, he put them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.G3739G2983G5108G3852G906G846G1519G2082G5438G2532G805G846G4228G805G1519G3586 25About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them,G1161G2596G3317G3972G2532G4609G4336G5214G2316G1161G1198G1874G846 26and 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.G1161G869G1096G3173G4578G5620G2310G1201G4531G5037G3916G3956G2374G455G2532G3956G1199G447 27When 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.G1161G1200G1096G1853G2532G1492G5438G2374G455G4685G3162G3195G337G1438G3543G1198G1628 28But Paul cried with a loud voice, "Do not harm yourself, for we are all here."G1161G3972G5455G3173G5456G3004G4238G4572G3367G2556G1063G2070G537G1759 29And the jailer called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas.G1161G154G5457G1530G2532G1096G1790G4363G3972G2532G4609 30Then he brought them out and said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"G2532G4254G846G1854G5346G2962G5101G1163G3165G4160G2443G4982 31And they said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household."G1161G2036G4100G1909G2962G2424G5547G2532G4771G4982G2532G4675G3624 32And they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house.G2532G2980G846G3056G2962G2532G3956G1722G846G3614 33And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their wounds; and he was baptized at once, he and all his family.G2532G3880G846G1722G1565G5610G3571G3068G575G4127G2532G907G846G2532G3956G846G3916 34Then 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.G5037G321G846G1519G3624G3908G5132G3908G2532G21G4100G2316G3832G846G3832 35But when it was day, the magistrates sent the police, saying, "Let those men go."G1161G1096G2250G4755G649G4465G3004G630G1565G444G630 36And the jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, "The magistrates have sent to let you go. Therefore come out now and go in peace."G1161G1200G518G5128G3056G4314G3972G3754G4755G649G2443G630G3568G3767G1831G4198G1722G1515 37But 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."G1161G3972G5346G4314G846G1194G2248G1219G178G5225G4514G444G906G1519G5438G2532G3568G1544G2248G1544G2977G3756G1063G235G2064G846G1806G2248G1806 38The police reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Roman citizens.G1161G4465G312G5023G4487G4755G2532G5399G191G3754G1526G4514 39So they came and apologized to them. And they took them out and asked them to leave the city.G2532G2064G3870G846G2532G1806G2065G1831G4172 40So they went out of the prison and visited Lydia. And when they had seen the brothers, they encouraged them and departed.G1161G1831G1537G5438G1525G1519G3070G2532G1492G80G3870G846G2532G1831
