16:1 Then 1161 came he 2658 5656 to 1519 Derbe 1191 and 2532 Lystra 3082: and 2532, behold 2400 5628, a certain 5100 disciple 3101 was 2258 5713 there 1563, named 3686 Timotheus 5095, the son 5207 of a certain 5100 woman 1135, which was a Jewess 2453, and believed 4103; but 1161 his father 3962 [was] a Greek 1672:

16:2 Which 3739 was well reported 3140 5712 of by 5259 the brethren 80 that were at 1722 Lystra 3082 and 2532 Iconium 2430.

16:3 Him 5126 would 2309 5656 Paul 3972 have to go forth 1831 5629 with 4862 him 846; and 2532 took 2983 5631 and circumcised 4059 5627 him 846 because 1223 of the Jews 2453 which 3588 were 5607 5752 in 1722 those 1565 quarters 5117: for 1063 they knew 1492 5715 all 537 that 3754 his 846 father 3962 was 5225 5707 a Greek 1672.

16:4 And 1161 as 5613 they went through 1279 5711 the cities 4172, they delivered 3860 5707 them 846 the decrees 1378 for to keep 5442 5721, that were ordained 2919 5772 of 5259 the apostles 652 and 2532 elders 4245 which 3588 were at 1722 Jerusalem 2419.

16:5 And so 3303 3767 were 4732 0 the churches 1577 established 4732 5712 in the faith 4102, and 2532 increased 4052 5707 in number 706 daily 2250 2596.

16:6 Now 1161 when they had gone throughout 1330 5631 Phrygia 5435 and 2532 the region 5561 of Galatia 1054, and were forbidden 2967 5685 of 5259 the Holy 40 Ghost 4151 to preach 2980 5658 the word 3056 in 1722 Asia 773,

16:7 After they were come 2064 5631 to 2596 Mysia 3465, they assayed 3985 5707 to go 4198 5738 into 2596 Bithynia 978: but 2532 the Spirit 4151 suffered 1439 5656 them 846 not 3756.

16:8 And 1161 they passing by 3928 5631 Mysia 3465 came down 2597 5627 to 1519 Troas 5174.

16:9 And 2532 a vision 3705 appeared 3700 5681 to Paul 3972 in 1223 the night 3571; There stood 2258 5713 2476 5761 a man 5100 435 of Macedonia 3110, and prayed 3870 5723 him 846, 2532 saying 3004 5723, Come over 1224 5631 into 1519 Macedonia 3109, and help 997 5657 us 2254.

16:10 And 1161 after 5613 he had seen 1492 5627 the vision 3705, immediately 2112 we endeavoured 2212 5656 to go 1831 5629 into 1519 Macedonia 3109, assuredly gathering 4822 5723 that 3754 the Lord 2962 had called 4341 5766 us 2248 for to preach the gospel 2097 5670 unto them 846.

16:11 Therefore 3767 loosing 321 5685 from 575 Troas 5174, we came with a straight course 2113 5656 to 1519 Samothracia 4543, and 5037 the next 1966 5752 [day] to 1519 Neapolis 3496;

16:12 And 5037 from thence 1564 to 1519 Philippi 5375, which 3748 is 2076 5748 the chief 4413 city 4172 of that part 3310 of Macedonia 3109, [and] a colony 2862: and 1161 we were 2258 5713 in 1722 that 5026 city 4172 abiding 1304 5723 certain 5100 days 2250.(the chief: or, the first)

16:13 And 5037 on the sabbath 4521 2250 we went 1831 5627 out of 1854 the city 4172 by 3844 a river side 4215, where 3757 prayer 4335 was wont 3543 5712 to be made 1511 5750; and 2532 we sat down 2523 5660, and spake 2980 5707 unto the women 1135 which resorted 4905 5631 [thither].(sabbath: Gr. sabbath day)

16:14 And 2532 a certain 5100 woman 1135 named 3686 Lydia 3070, a seller of purple 4211, of the city 4172 of Thyatira 2363, which worshipped 4576 5740 God 2316, heard 191 5707 [us]: whose 3739 heart 2588 the Lord 2962 opened 1272 5656, that she attended 4337 5721 unto the things which were spoken 2980 5746 of 5259 Paul 3972.

16:15 And 1161 when 5613 she was baptized 907 5681, and 2532 her 846 household 3624, she besought 3870 5656 [us], saying 3004 5723, If 1487 ye have judged 2919 5758 me 3165 to be 1511 5750 faithful 4103 to the Lord 2962, come 1525 5631 into 1519 my 3450 house 3624, and abide 3306 5657 [there]. And 2532 she constrained 3849 5662 us 2248.

16:16 And 1161 it came to pass 1096 5633, as we 2257 went 4198 5740 to 1519 prayer 4335, a certain 5100 damsel 3814 possessed 2192 5723 with a spirit 4151 of divination 4436 met 528 5658 us 2254, which 3748 brought 3930 5707 her 846 masters 2962 much 4183 gain 2039 by soothsaying 3132 5740:(of divination: or, of Python)

16:17 The same 3778 followed 2628 5660 Paul 3972 and 2532 us 2254, and cried 2896 5707, saying 3004 5723, These 3778 men 444 are 1526 5748 the servants 1401 of the most high 5310 God 2316, which 3748 shew 2605 5719 unto us 2254 the way 3598 of salvation 4991.

16:18 And 1161 this 5124 did she 4160 5707 1909 many 4183 days 2250. But 1161 Paul 3972, being grieved 1278 5666, turned 1994 5660 and 2532 said 2036 5627 to the spirit 4151, I command 3853 5719 thee 4671 in 1722 the name 3686 of Jesus 2424 Christ 5547 to come 1831 5629 out of 575 her 846. And 2532 he came out 1831 5627 the same 846 hour 5610.

16:19 And 1161 when her 846 masters 2962 saw 1492 5631 that 3754 the hope 1680 of their 846 gains 2039 was gone 1831 5627, they caught 1949 5637 Paul 3972 and 2532 Silas 4609, and drew 1670 5656 [them] into 1519 the marketplace 58 unto 1909 the rulers 758,(marketplace: or, court)

16:20 And 2532 brought 4317 5631 them 846 to the magistrates 4755, saying 2036 5627, These 3778 men 444, being 5225 5723 Jews 2453, do exceedingly trouble 1613 5719 our 2257 city 4172,

16:21 And 2532 teach 2605 5719 customs 1485, which 3739 are 1832 0 not 3756 lawful 1832 5748 for us 2254 to receive 3858 5738, neither 3761 to observe 4160 5721, being 5607 5752 Romans 4514.

16:22 And 2532 the multitude 3793 rose up together 4911 5627 against 2596 them 846: and 2532 the magistrates 4755 rent off 4048 5660 their 846 clothes 2440, and commanded 2753 5707 to beat 4463 5721 [them].

16:23 And 5037 when they had laid 2007 5631 many 4183 stripes 4127 upon them 846, they cast 906 5627 [them] into 1519 prison 5438, charging 3853 5660 the jailor 1200 to keep 5083 5721 them 846 safely 806:

16:24 Who 3739, having received 2983 5761 such 5108 a charge 3852, thrust 906 5627 them 846 into 1519 the inner 2082 prison 5438, and 2532 made 805 0 their 846 feet 4228 fast 805 5662 in 1519 the stocks 3586.

16:25 And 1161 at 2596 midnight 3317 Paul 3972 and 2532 Silas 4609 prayed 4336 5740, and sang praises 5214 5707 unto God 2316: and 1161 the prisoners 1198 heard 1874 5711 them 846.

16:26 And 1161 suddenly 869 there was 1096 5633 a great 3173 earthquake 4578, so that 5620 the foundations 2310 of the prison 1201 were shaken 4531 5683: and 5037 immediately 3916 all 3956 the doors 2374 were opened 455 5681, and 2532 every one's 3956 bands 1199 were loosed 447 5681.

16:27 And 1161 the keeper of the prison 1200 awaking 1096 5637 out of his sleep 1853, and 2532 seeing 1492 5631 the prison 5438 doors 2374 open 455 5772, he drew out 4685 5671 his sword 3162, and would 3195 5707 have killed 337 5721 himself 1438, supposing 3543 5723 that the prisoners 1198 had been fled 1628 5755.

16:28 But 1161 Paul 3972 cried 5455 5656 with a loud 3173 voice 5456, saying 3004 5723, Do 4238 5661 thyself 4572 no 3367 harm 2556: for 1063 we are 2070 5748 all 537 here 1759.

16:29 Then 1161 he called 154 5660 for a light 5457, and sprang in 1530 5656, and 2532 came 1096 5637 trembling 1790, and fell down before 4363 5627 Paul 3972 and 2532 Silas 4609,

16:30 And 2532 brought 4254 5631 them 846 out 1854, and said 5346 5713, Sirs 2962, what 5101 must 1163 5748 I 3165 do 4160 5721 to 2443 be saved 4982 5686?

16:31 And 1161 they said 2036 5627, Believe 4100 5657 on 1909 the Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547, and 2532 thou 4771 shalt be saved 4982 5701, and 2532 thy 4675 house 3624.

16:32 And 2532 they spake 2980 5656 unto him 846 the word 3056 of the Lord 2962, and 2532 to all 3956 that were in 1722 his 846 house 3614.

16:33 And 2532 he took 3880 5631 them 846 1722 the same 1565 hour 5610 of the night 3571, and washed 3068 5656 [their] stripes 575 4127; and 2532 was baptized 907 5681, he 846 and 2532 all 3956 his 846, straightway 3916.

16:34 And 5037 when he had brought 321 5631 them 846 into 1519 his house 3624, he set 3908 0 meat 5132 before them 3908 5656, and 2532 rejoiced 21 5662, believing 4100 5761 in God 2316 with all 3832 0 his 846 house 3832.

16:35 And 1161 when it was 1096 5637 day 2250, the magistrates 4755 sent 649 5656 the serjeants 4465, saying 3004 5723, Let 630 0 those 1565 men 444 go 630 5657.

16:36 And 1161 the keeper of the prison 1200 told 518 5656 this 5128 saying 3056 to 4314 Paul 3972, 3754 The magistrates 4755 have sent 649 5758 to 2443 let you go 630 5686: now 3568 therefore 3767 depart 1831 5631, and go 4198 5737 in 1722 peace 1515.

16:37 But 1161 Paul 3972 said 5346 5713 unto 4314 them 846, They have beaten 1194 5660 us 2248 openly 1219 uncondemned 178, being 5225 5723 Romans 4514 444, and have cast 906 5627 [us] into 1519 prison 5438; and 2532 now 3568 do they thrust 1544 0 us 2248 out 1544 5719 privily 2977? nay 3756 verily 1063; but 235 let them come 2064 5631 themselves 846 and fetch 1806 0 us 2248 out 1806 5628.

16:38 And 1161 the serjeants 4465 told 312 5656 these 5023 words 4487 unto the magistrates 4755: and 2532 they feared 5399 5675, when they heard 191 5660 that 3754 they were 1526 5748 Romans 4514.

16:39 And 2532 they came 2064 5631 and besought 3870 5656 them 846, and 2532 brought [them] out 1806 5631, and desired 2065 5707 [them] to depart out 1831 5629 of the city 4172.

16:40 And 1161 they went 1831 5631 out of 1537 the prison 5438, and entered 1525 5627 into 1519 [the house of] Lydia 3070: and 2532 when they had seen 1492 5631 the brethren 80, they comforted 3870 5656 them 846, and 2532 departed 1831 5627.
