He came then also to Derbe and to Lystra. And behold, a disciple certain was there, named Timothy, [the] son of a woman Jewish believing, father however a Greek,

who was well spoken of by the in Lystra and Iconium brothers.

This one wanted Paul with him to go forth, and having taken, he circumcised him on account of the Jews those being in the parts those; they knew for all that a Greek the father of him was.

While then they were passing through the cities, they were delivering to them to keep the decrees which [were] decided on by the apostles and elders who [were] in Jerusalem.

The indeed therefore churches were strengthened in the faith, and were increasing in number every day.

they passed through then Phrygia and Galatian region, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia,

having come then down to Mysia, they were attempting into Bithynia to go; and not did allow them the Spirit of Jesus;

having passed by then Mysia, they came down to Troas.

And a vision during the night to Paul appeared: A man of Macedonia certain was already standing and beseeching him and saying, Having passed over into Macedonia, do help us.

When now the vision he had seen, immediately we sought to go forth to Macedonia, concluding that has called us God to preach the gospel to them.

Having sailed then from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the following day, to Nea Polis,

and from there to Philippi, which is [the] leading [one] district of Macedonia, [the] city, [and Roman] colony. We were now in this city staying days some.

On the then day of the Sabbaths, we went forth outside the gate, by a river, where we were accustomed prayer to have. And having sat down, we were speaking to those having gathered women.

And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple of [the] city of Thyatira, worshiping God, was listening, of whom the Lord opened the heart to attend to the things being spoken by Paul.

When then she was baptized, and the house of her, she begged, saying, If you have judged me faithful to the Lord to be, having entered into the house of me, do remain. And she persuaded us.

It happened now, going of us to the [place of] prayer, a girl certain, having a spirit Python, meeting by us, who gain much was bringing the masters of her by fortune-telling.

She, having followed after Paul and us, was crying out, saying, These men servants of the God Most High are, who proclaim to you [the] way of salvation.

This then she was continuing for many days. Having been distressed then Paul, and having turned to the spirit, he said, I command you in name of Jesus Christ to come out from her. And it came out on [the] same hour.

Having seen now the masters of her that was gone the hope of the profit of them, having taken hold of Paul and Silas, they dragged [them] into the marketplace before the rulers;

and having brought up them to the magistrates, they said, These men exceedingly trouble of us the city, Jews being,

and preach customs, that not it is lawful for us to accept nor to practice, Romans being.

And rose up together the crowd against them, and the magistrates having torn off of them the garments, were commanding to beat with rods.
