Timothy joins them
Then he came to Derbe and Lystra. And just then, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a certain woman who was a Jew and believed. But his father was a Greek. Timothy was well spoken of by the brothers at Lystra and Iconium. Paul wanted him to go out with him. And he took and circumcised him because of the Jews in those parts. Because they all knew his father was a Greek. As they went through the cities, they handed them the orders to keep that were settled by the apostles and elders at Jerusalem. And so the churches were strengthened in the faith and grew in number daily.

The call to Macedonia
They passed through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia. After they'd come to Mysia they tried to go into Bithynia. But the Spirit wouldn't let them. And going past Mysia they came down to Troas. During the night Paul saw a vision: a man of Macedonia stood there pleading, "Come over into Macedonia and help us." After he saw the vision, we immediately prepared to go into Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them. So setting out from Troas we came with a straight course to Samothrace, and the next day to Neapolis. From there we went to Philippi, the chief city of that part of Macedonia and a colony, and stayed there several days.
Now when they'd gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia and were stopped by the Holy Spirit from preaching the word in Asia, after they'd come to Mysia they tried to go into Bithynia.

And a vision showed itself to Paul in the night: There stood a man of Macedonia begging him: Come over into Macedonia and help us. And after he'd seen the vision, straight away we tried to go into Macedonia, being sure the Lord had called us to preach the good news to them. So setting out from Troas we came with a straight course to Samothrace, and the next day to Neapolis. And from there to Philippi, which is the chief town of that part of Macedonia and a colony.

Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia, After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not. And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas. And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us. And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them. Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis; And from thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia, and a colony: and we were in that city abiding certain days.

Lydia
On the sabbath we went outside the city by a river, where prayer was accustomed to be made. We sat down and spoke to the women who had gathered there. A woman named Lydia, a seller of purple from the city of Thyatira who worshipped God, heard us. The Lord opened her heart to attend to what Paul said. When she was baptised, and her household, she begged us: If you've judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay. And she made us come.

Prison at Philippi
As we were going to prayer, a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us. She brought her masters much profit by fortune-telling. She followed Paul and us, crying, "These men are servants of the most high God, who show us the way of salvation." She did this for many days. Paul, grieved, turned and said to the spirit, "I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her." And it came out that same hour. When her masters saw that their hope of profit was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers. And brought them to the magistrates: These men, being Jews, greatly trouble our city. And teach ways that aren't lawful for us to take or keep, though we are Romans. The crowd rose up together against them. The magistrates tore off their clothes and commanded them to be beaten with rods. After laying many stripes on them, they threw them into prison and ordered the jailer to keep them securely. Having received that command, he put them in the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks. About midnight Paul and Silas prayed and sang praises to God, and the other prisoners listened. Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so strong that the prison foundations shook. Immediately all the doors opened and everyone's bands were loosed. The jailer woke, saw the prison doors open and drew his sword, about to kill himself because he thought the prisoners had escaped. But Paul cried with a loud voice, "Do yourself no harm! We're all here." The jailer called for a light, rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas. He brought them out and asked, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" They said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you'll be saved, and your house." They spoke the word of the Lord to him and to everyone in his house. That same hour of the night he took them and washed their wounds, and he and all his household were baptised straight away. When he'd brought them into his house, he set food before them and celebrated, believing in God with his whole household. When it was day, the magistrates sent the officers: Let those men go. The keeper of the prison told Paul this saying: The magistrates have sent to let you go. So come out now and go in peace. But Paul told the serjeants, "They beat us openly without a trial, though we're Romans, and threw us into prison. Now they want to sneak us out quietly? No chance. Let them come themselves and bring us out." The officers told these words to the magistrates. And they were frightened when they heard they were Romans. They came and begged them and brought them out, and wanted them to leave the city. They went out of the prison and went into the house of Lydia. And when they'd seen the brothers, they comforted them and left.
And it happened as we went to prayer, a certain girl with a spirit of divining met us, who brought her masters plenty of gain by fortune-telling. She followed Paul and us and cried out: These men are the servants of the Most High God, who show us the way of salvation. And she did this plenty of days. But Paul, being upset, turned and said to the spirit: I order you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And it came out the same hour. And when her masters saw the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace to the rulers. And brought them to the magistrates: These men, being Jews, badly trouble our town. And teach ways that aren't lawful for us to take or keep, being Romans. And the crowd got up together against them. And the magistrates tore off their clothes and ordered them to be beaten. And when they'd laid plenty of stripes on them, they threw them into prison, ordering the jailer to keep them safe. Who, having got such an order, threw them into the inner prison and made their feet fast in the stocks. And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed and sang praises to God. And the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so the foundations of the prison were shaken. And straight away all the doors were opened, and everyone's bands were loosened. And the keeper of the prison, waking out of his sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew out his sword and would have killed himself, thinking the prisoners had run. But Paul cried out with a loud voice: Don't harm yourself. Because we're all here. Then he called for a light and sprang in and came shaking, and fell down in front of Paul and Silas. And brought them out and said: Sirs, what do I have to do to be saved? And they said: Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you'll be saved, and your house. And they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to everyone in his house. And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes. And he was baptised, he and all his, straight away.

But Paul said to them: They've beaten us openly without a trial, being Romans, and have thrown us into prison. And now do they throw us out secretly? No, truly. But let them come themselves and fetch us out. And the officers told these words to the magistrates. And they were frightened when they heard they were Romans. And they came and begged them and brought them out, and wanted them to leave the town. And they went out of the prison and went into the house of Lydia. And when they'd seen the brothers, they comforted them and left.
And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying: The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation. And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour. And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace unto the rulers, And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city, And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans. And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them. And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely: Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks. And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.

And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go in peace. But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and fetch us out. And the serjeants told these words unto the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans. And they came and besought them, and brought them out, and desired them to depart out of the city. And they went out of the prison, and entered into the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
