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
:
strkjv@Acts:16:2
@
Which
was well
reported
of
by
the
brethren
that were
at
Lystra
and
Iconium
.
strkjv@Acts: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
.
strkjv@Acts: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
.
strkjv@Acts:16:5
@ And
so
were
the
churches
established
in the
faith
,
and
increased
in
number
daily
.
strkjv@Acts: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
,
strkjv@Acts:16:7
@ After they were
come
to
Mysia
, they
assayed
to
go
into
Bithynia
:
but
the
Spirit
suffered
them
not
.
strkjv@Acts:16:8
@
And
they passing
by
Mysia
came
down
to
Troas
.
strkjv@Acts: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
.
strkjv@Acts: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
.
strkjv@Acts:16:11
@
Therefore
loosing
from
Troas
, we came with a straight
course
to
Samothracia
,
and
the
next
day
to
Neapolis
;
strkjv@Acts: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
.
strkjv@Acts: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.
strkjv@Acts: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
.
strkjv@Acts: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
.
strkjv@Acts: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
:
strkjv@Acts:16:17
@ The
same
followed
Paul
and
us
, and
cried
,
saying
,
These
men
are
the
servants
of the most
high
God
,
which
shew
unto
us
the
way
of
salvation
.
strkjv@Acts: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
.
strkjv@Acts: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
,
strkjv@Acts:16:20
@
And
brought
them
to the
magistrates
,
saying
,
These
men
,
being
Jews
, do exceedingly
trouble
our
city
,
strkjv@Acts:16:21
@
And
teach
customs
,
which
are
not
lawful
for
us
to
receive

neither
to
observe

being
Romans

strkjv@Acts:16:22
@
And
the
multitude
rose up
together
against
them
:
and
the
magistrates
rent
off
their
clothes
, and
commanded
to
beat
them.
strkjv@Acts:16:23
@
And
when they had
laid
many
stripes
upon
them

cast
them
into
prison

charging
the
jailor
to
keep
them
safely
:
strkjv@Acts:16:24
@
Who
, having
received
such
a
charge

thrust
them
into
the
inner
prison

made
their
feet
fast
in
the
stocks

strkjv@Acts:16:25
@
And
at
midnight
Paul
and
Silas
prayed
, and sang
praises
unto
God
:
and
the
prisoners
heard
them
.
strkjv@Acts:16:26
@
And
suddenly
there
was
a
great
earthquake
, so
that
the
foundations
of the
prison
were
shaken
:

immediately
all
the
doors
were
opened

every
ones
bands
were
loosed

strkjv@Acts:16:27
@
And
the keeper of the
prison
awaking
out of his
sleep

seeing

prison
doors
open

out
his
sword

would
have
killed
himself

supposing
that the
prisoners
had been
fled

cried
with a

voice

saying

Do
thyself
no
harm

we
are
all
here

strkjv@Acts:16:29
@
Then
he
called
for a
light

in
,
and
came
trembling

before
Paul

Silas

strkjv@Acts:16:30
@

brought

out

said

Sirs

what

I
do

be
saved
?
strkjv@Acts:16:31
@
And
they
said

Believe
on

Lord

thou
shalt be
saved

thy
house

spake
unto

the
word

he
took
them
the

hour

night

his
,
straightway

set

Let

sent
to
let you
go

now

depart

go
in
peace

Paul

unto

Romans

cast
us
into
prison

and
now
do they
thrust
us
out
privily

nay
verily

let them
come
themselves

fetch
us
out
