10 And when he saw the vision, we quickly sought to come out to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord called us to announce good news to them. 11 Therefore having been conveyed from Troas, we ran straight forward to Samothracia, and the following day to Neapolis; 12 And thence to Philippi, which is the first city of Macedonia, a colony. And we were in that city passing certain days. 13 And the day of the sabbaths we came out of the city by the river, where prayer was customary to be; and having sat down, we spake to the women come together. 14 And a certain woman, by name Lydia, a dealer in purple garments, of the city of Thyatira, worshipping God, heard: whose heart the Lord opened to attend to things spoken by Paul. 15 And when she was immersed, and her house, she besought, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, having come into my house, remain. And she forced us. 16 And it was we going for prayer, a certain young girl having the spirit of Python met us, who furnished much gain to her lords, prophesying: 17 She having followed Paul and us, cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, who announce to us the way of salvation.
