Acts 16:40

But when Paul and Silas were out of prison, they went instead to Lydia's house, where they met the brothers and sisters in the faith and encouraged (comforted, exhorted) them.
[It is likely that the congregation met at Lydia's house. Here were the four missionaries, Lydia's family, the jailer, and his family. The young slave girl who had been freed was probably here too.]
Then they [Paul, Silas, and perhaps Timothy] moved on [southwest toward Thessalonica].
[Luke remains in Philippi. He rejoins them on the third missionary journey, see Acts 20:6. It is unclear whether Timothy stays with Luke in Philippi or accompanies Paul and Silas to Thessalonica. It is most likely that he goes with them, since he is mentioned in Berea, which is the next city Paul and Silas visit, see Acts 17:14. To get there, one must pass through Thessalonica].
