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,G1161G2658G1519G1191G2532G3082G2532G2400G5100G3101G2258G1563G3686G5095G5207G5100G1135G2453G4103G1161G3962G1672 2and he was well spoken of by the brethren who were in Lystra and Iconium.G3739G3140G5259G80G1722G3082G2532G2430 3Paul 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.G5126G2309G3972G1831G4862G846G2532G2983G4059G846G1223G2453G3588G5607G1722G1565G5117G1063G1492G537G3754G846G3962G5225G1672 4Now 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.G1161G5613G1279G4172G3860G846G1378G5442G2919G5259G652G2532G4245G3588G1722G2419 5So the churches were being strengthened in the faith, and were increasing in number daily.G3303G3767G4732G1577G4732G4102G2532G4052G706G2250G2596 6And they passed through the Phrygian and Galatian region, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia;G1161G1330G5435G2532G5561G1054G2967G5259G40G4151G2980G3056G1722G773 7and when they had come to Mysia, they were trying to go into Bithynia, and the Spirit of Jesus did not permit them;G2064G2596G3465G3985G4198G2596G978G2532G4151G1439G846G3756 8and passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.G1161G3928G3465G2597G1519G5174 9And 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."G2532G3705G3700G3972G1223G3571G2258G2476G5100G435G3110G3870G846G2532G3004G1224G1519G3109G997G2254 10And 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.G1161G5613G1492G3705G2112G2212G1831G1519G3109G4822G3754G2962G4341G2248G2097G846 11Therefore putting out to sea from Troas, we ran a straight course to Samothrace, and on the day following to Neapolis;G3767G321G575G5174G2113G1519G4543G5037G1966G1519G3496 12and 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.G5037G1564G1519G5375G3748G2076G4413G4172G3310G3109G2862G1161G2258G1722G5026G4172G1304G5100G2250 13And 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.G5037G4521G2250G1831G1854G4172G3844G4215G3757G4335G3543G1511G2532G2523G2980G1135G4905 14And 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.G2532G5100G1135G3686G3070G4211G4172G2363G4576G2316G191G3739G2588G2962G1272G4337G2980G5259G3972 15And 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.G1161G5613G907G2532G846G3624G3870G3004G1487G2919G3165G1511G4103G2962G1525G1519G3450G3624G3306G2532G3849G2248 16And 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.G1161G1096G2257G4198G1519G4335G5100G3814G2192G4151G4436G528G2254G3748G3930G846G2962G4183G2039G3132 17Following 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."G3778G2628G3972G2532G2254G2896G3004G3778G444G1526G1401G5310G2316G3748G2605G2254G3598G4991 18And 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.G1161G5124G4160G1909G4183G2250G1161G3972G1278G1994G2532G2036G4151G3853G4671G1722G3686G2424G5547G1831G575G846G2532G1831G846G5610 19But 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,G1161G846G2962G1492G3754G1680G846G2039G1831G1949G3972G2532G4609G1670G1519G58G1909G758 20and when they had brought them to the chief magistrates, they said, "These men are throwing our city into confusion, being Jews,G2532G4317G846G4755G2036G3778G444G5225G2453G1613G2257G4172 21and are proclaiming customs which it is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being Romans. "G2532G2605G1485G3739G1832G3756G1832G2254G3858G3761G4160G5607G4514 22And 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.G2532G3793G4911G2596G846G2532G4755G4048G846G2440G2753G4463 23And when they had inflicted many blows upon them, they threw them into prison, commanding the jailer to guard them securely;G5037G2007G4183G4127G846G906G1519G5438G3853G1200G5083G846G806 24and he, having received such a command, threw them into the inner prison, and fastened their feet in the stocks.G3739G2983G5108G3852G906G846G1519G2082G5438G2532G805G846G4228G805G1519G3586 25But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns of praise to God, and the prisoners were listening to them;G1161G2596G3317G3972G2532G4609G4336G5214G2316G1161G1198G1874G846 26and 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.G1161G869G1096G3173G4578G5620G2310G1201G4531G5037G3916G3956G2374G455G2532G3956G1199G447 27And 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.G1161G1200G1096G1853G2532G1492G5438G2374G455G4685G3162G3195G337G1438G3543G1198G1628 28But Paul cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Do yourself no harm, for we are all here!"G1161G3972G5455G3173G5456G3004G4238G4572G3367G2556G1063G2070G537G1759 29And he called for lights and rushed in and, trembling with fear, he fell down before Paul and Silas,G1161G154G5457G1530G2532G1096G1790G4363G3972G2532G4609 30and after he brought them out, he said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"G2532G4254G846G1854G5346G2962G5101G1163G3165G4160G2443G4982 31And they said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you shall be saved, you and your household."G1161G2036G4100G1909G2962G2424G5547G2532G4771G4982G2532G4675G3624 32And they spoke the word of the Lord to him together with all who were in his house.G2532G2980G846G3056G2962G2532G3956G1722G846G3614 33And he took them that [very] hour of the night and washed their wounds, and immediately he was baptized, he and all his [household.]G2532G3880G846G1722G1565G5610G3571G3068G575G4127G2532G907G846G2532G3956G846G3916 34And he brought them into his house and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly, having believed in God with his whole household.G5037G321G846G1519G3624G3908G5132G3908G2532G21G4100G2316G3832G846G3832 35Now when day came, the chief magistrates sent their policemen, saying, "Release those men."G1161G1096G2250G4755G649G4465G3004G630G1565G444G630 36And the jailer reported these words to Paul, [saying,] "The chief magistrates have sent to release you. Now therefore, come out and go in peace."G1161G1200G518G5128G3056G4314G3972G3754G4755G649G2443G630G3568G3767G1831G4198G1722G1515 37But 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."G1161G3972G5346G4314G846G1194G2248G1219G178G5225G4514G444G906G1519G5438G2532G3568G1544G2248G1544G2977G3756G1063G235G2064G846G1806G2248G1806 38And the policemen reported these words to the chief magistrates. And they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans,G1161G4465G312G5023G4487G4755G2532G5399G191G3754G1526G4514 39and they came and appealed to them, and when they had brought them out, they kept begging them to leave the city.G2532G2064G3870G846G2532G1806G2065G1831G4172 40And they went out of the prison and entered [the house of] Lydia, and when they saw the brethren, they encouraged them and departed.G1161G1831G1537G5438G1525G1519G3070G2532G1492G80G3870G846G2532G1831
