  • AC-16:1 Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a

  • certain disciple was



  • there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman, which was a

  • Jewess, and



  • believed; but his father [was] a Greek:



  • AC-16:2 Which was well reported of by the brethren that were at

  • Lystra and



  • Iconium.



  • AC-16:3 Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and

  • circumcised him



  • because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew

  • all that his



  • father was a Greek.



  • AC-16:4 And as they went through the cities, they delivered

  • them the decrees



  • for to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and elders which

  • were at



  • Jerusalem.



  • AC-16:5 And so were the churches established in the faith, and

  • increased in



  • number daily.



  • AC-16:6 Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the

  • region of Galatia,



  • and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia,



  • AC-16:7 After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into

  • Bithynia: but



  • the Spirit suffered them not.



  • AC-16:8 And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas.



  • AC-16:9 And 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.



  • AC-16:10 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.



  • AC-16:11 Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight

  • course to



  • Samothracia, and the next [day] to Neapolis;



  • AC-16:12 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.



  • AC-16:13 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].



  • AC-16:14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple,

  • of the city of



  • Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard [us]: whose heart the Lord

  • opened, that



  • she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul.



  • AC-16:15 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 abide [there]. And she constrained us.



  • AC-16:16 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



  • soothsaying:



  • AC-16:17 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying,

  • These men are the



  • servants of the most high God, which show unto us the way of

  • salvation.



  • AC-16:18 And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved,

  • turned and said



  • to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to

  • come out of her.



  • And he came out the same hour.



  • AC-16:19 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,



  • AC-16:20 And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men,

  • being Jews,



  • do exceedingly trouble our city,



  • AC-16:21 And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to

  • receive, neither to



  • observe, being Romans.



  • AC-16:22 And the multitude rose up together against them: and

  • the magistrates



  • rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat [them].



  • AC-16:23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they

  • cast [them] into



  • prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:



  • AC-16:24 Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into

  • the inner



  • prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.



  • AC-16:25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang

  • praises unto God: and



  • the prisoners heard them.



  • AC-16:26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the

  • foundations of



  • the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were

  • opened, and every



  • one's bands were loosed.



  • AC-16:27 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.



  • AC-16:28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself

  • no harm: for we



  • are all here.



  • AC-16:29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came

  • trembling, and



  • fell down before Paul and Silas,



  • AC-16:30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do

  • to be saved?



  • AC-16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and

  • thou shalt be



  • saved, and thy house.



  • AC-16:32 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to

  • all that were in



  • his house.



  • AC-16:33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and

  • washed [their]



  • stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.



  • AC-16:34 And when he had brought them into his house, he set

  • meat before them,



  • and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.



  • AC-16:35 And when it was day, the magistrates sent the

  • serjeants, saying, Let



  • those men go.



  • AC-16:36 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.



  • AC-16:37 But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us openly

  • uncondemned,



  • being Romans, and have cast [us] into prison; and now do they

  • thrust us out



  • privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and fetch us

  • out.



  • AC-16:38 And the serjeants told these words unto the

  • magistrates: and they



  • feared, when they heard that they were Romans.



  • AC-16:39 And they came and besought them, and brought [them]

  • out, and desired



  • [them] to depart out of the city.



  • AC-16:40 And they went out of the prison, and entered into [the

  • house of]



  • Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them,

  • and departed.
