Acts 16:1–10

And he came to Derbe and Lystra. And behold, there was a certain disciple there named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman that believed: but his father was a Gentile.

²To this man the brethren that were in Lystra and Iconium gave a good testimony.

³Him Paul would have to go along with him: and taking him, he circumcised him, because of the Jews who were in those places. For they all knew that his father was a Gentile.

⁴And as they passed through the cities, they delivered unto them the decrees for to keep, that were decreed by the apostles and ancients who were at Jerusalem.

⁵And the churches were confirmed in faith and increased in number daily.

⁶And when they had passed through Phrygia and the country of Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia.

⁷And when they were come into Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia: and the Spirit of Jesus suffered them not.

⁸And when they had passed through Mysia, they went down to Troas.

⁹And a vision was shewed to Paul in the night, which was a man of Macedonia standing and beseeching him and saying: Pass over into Macedonia and help us.

¹⁰And as soon as he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go into Macedonia: being assured that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.
