Acts 16:1–10

¹And he came to Derbe and Lystra: and behold, a certain disciple was there, by name Timotheus, son of a Jewish believing woman, but the father a Greek, ²who had a good testimony of the brethren in Lystra and Iconium. ³Him would Paul have go forth with him, and took him and circumcised him on account of the Jews who were in those places, for they all knew his father that he was a Greek. ⁴And as they passed through the cities they instructed them to observe the decrees determined on by the apostles and elders who were in Jerusalem. ⁵The assemblies therefore were confirmed in the faith, and increased in number every day.

⁶And having passed through Phrygia and the Galatian country, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia, ⁷having come down to Mysia, they attempted to go to Bithynia, and the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them; ⁸and having passed by Mysia they descended to Troas. ⁹And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: There was a certain Macedonian man, standing and beseeching him, and saying, Pass over into Macedonia and help us. ¹⁰And when he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go forth to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to announce to them the glad tidings.
