Acts 16:1-10 ▼

1 Then came he to Derbe and to Lystra: and beholde, a certaine disciple was there named Timotheus, a womans sonne, which was a Iewesse and beleeued, but his father was a Grecian,

2 Of whom the brethren which were at Lystra and Iconium, reported well.

3 Therefore Paul would that he should go forth with him, and tooke and circumcised him, because of ye Iewes, which were in those quarters: for they knewe all, that his father was a Grecian.

4 And as they went through the cities, they deliuered them the decrees to keepe, ordeined of the Apostles & Elders, which were at Hierusalem.

5 And so were the Churches stablished in the faith, and encreased in number daily.

6 Nowe when they had gone throughout Phrygia, and the region of Galatia, they were forbidden of the holy Ghost to preache the worde in Asia.

7 Then came they to Mysia, and sought to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not.

8 Therefore they passed through Mysia, and came downe to Troas,

9 Where a vision appeared to Paul in the night. There stoode a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come into Macedonia, and helpe vs.

10 And after he had seene the vision, immediatly we prepared to goe into Macedonia, being assured that the Lord had called vs to preache the Gospel vnto them.
