Acts:16:3-12

*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And so were the churches established in the faith ,
and increased in number daily .
*
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 ,
*
After they were come to Mysia ,
they assayed to go into Bithynia :
but the Spirit suffered them not .
*
And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
Therefore loosing from Troas ,
we came with a straight course to Samothracia ,
and the next day to Neapolis ;
*
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 .
