Acts 16:1–10

Then came he to aDerbe and aLystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named bTimotheus, cthe son of a certain woman, which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was a Greek: 2 Which dwas well reported of by the brethren that were at aLystra and eIconium. 3 Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and ftook and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they gknew all that his father was a Greek. 4 And as they went through the cities, they delivered them the hdecrees for to keep, ithat were ordained of the apostles and kelders which were at Jerusalem. 5 And so were lthe churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily. 6 Now when they had gone throughout mPhrygia and the region of nGalatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in oAsia, 7 After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into pBithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not. 8 And they passing by Mysia came down to qTroas. 9 And ra vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of xMacedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us. 10 And after he had seen rthe vision, immediately swe endeavoured to go into xMacedonia, tassuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.
