Acts 16

1And^G2532 he^G2658 came also to^G1519 Derbe^G1191 and^G2532 to Lystra^G3082: and^G2532 behold^G2400, a certain^G5100 disciple^G3101 was^G2258 there^G1563, named^G3686 Timothy^G5095, the son^G5207 of a^G5100 Jewess^G2453 that believed^G4103; but^G1161 his father^G3962 was a Greek^G1672. 2The same^G3739 was well reported^G3140 of^G5259 by the brethren^G80 that were^G3588 at^G1722 Lystra^G3082 and^G2532 Iconium^G2430. 3Him^G5126 would^G2309 Paul^G3972 have to go forth^G1831 with^G4862 him^G846; and^G2532 he took^G2983 and^G2532 circumcised^G4059 him^G846 because^G1223 of the Jews^G2453 that were^G5607 in^G1722 those^G1565 parts: for^G1063 they all^G537 knew^G1492 that^G3754 his^G846 father^G3962 was^G5225 a Greek^G1672. 4And^G1161 as^G5613 they went on their way through^G1279 the cities^G4172, they delivered^G3860 them^G846 the decrees^G1378 to keep^G5442 which had been ordained^G2919 of^G5259 the apostles^G652 and^G2532 elders^G4245 that were^G3588 at^G1722 Jerusalem^G2419. 5So^G3767 the churches^G1577 were^G4732 strengthened^G4732 in^G2596 the faith^G4102, and^G2532 increased^G4052 in number^G706 daily^G2250. 6And^G2532 they went through^G1330 the region^G5561 of Phrygia^G5435 and^G2532 Galatia^G1054, having been forbidden^G2967 of^G5259 the Holy^G40 Spirit^G4151 to speak^G2980 the word^G3056 in^G1722 Asia^G773; 7and when^G2596 they were come^G2064 over against Mysia^G3465, they assayed^G3985 to go^G4198 into^G2596 Bithynia^G978; and^G2532 the Spirit^G4151 of Jesus suffered^G1439 them^G846 not^G3756; 8and^G1161 passing^G3928 by Mysia^G3465, they came down^G2597 to^G1519 Troas^G5174. 9And^G2532 a vision^G3705 appeared^G3700 to Paul^G3972 in^G1223 the night^G3571: There was^G2258 a man^G435 of Macedonia^G3110 standing^G2476, beseeching^G3870 him^G846, and^G2532 saying^G3004, Come over^G1224 into^G1519 Macedonia^G3109, and help^G997 us^G2254. 10And^G1161 when^G5613 he had seen^G1492 the vision^G3705, straightway^G2112 we sought^G2212 to go^G1831 forth into^G1519 Macedonia^G3109, concluding^G4822 that^G3754 God^G2962 had called^G4341 us^G2248 to preach the gospel^G2097 to them^G846. 11Setting sail^G321 therefore^G3767 from^G575 Troas^G5174, we made a straight course^G2113 to^G1519 Samothrace^G4543, and^G5037 the day following^G1966 to^G1519 Neapolis^G3496; 12and^G5037 from thence^G1564 to^G1519 Philippi^G5375, which^G3748 is^G2076 a city^G4172 of Macedonia^G3109, the first^G4413 of the district^G3310, a Roman colony^G2862: and^G1161 we were^G1510 in^G1722 this^G3778 city^G4172 tarrying^G1304 certain^G5100 days^G2250. 13And^G5037 on the sabbath^G4521 day^G2250 we went^G1831 forth without^G1854 the gate by^G3844 a river side^G4215, where^G3757 we supposed^G3543 there was a place^G1511 of prayer^G4335; and^G2532 we sat down^G2523, and^G2532 spake^G2980 unto the women^G1135 that^G3588 were come together^G4905. 14And^G2532 a certain^G5100 woman^G1135 named^G3686 Lydia^G3070, a seller of purple^G4211 of the city^G4172 of Thyatira^G2363, one that^G3739 worshipped^G4576 God^G2316, heard^G191 us: whose heart^G2588 the Lord^G2962 opened^G1272 to give heed unto^G4337 the things which^G3588 were spoken^G2980 by^G5259 Paul^G3972. 15And^G1161 when^G5613 she was baptized^G907, and^G2532 her^G846 household^G3624, she besought^G3870 us, saying^G3004, If^G1487 ye have judged^G2919 me^G3165 to be^G1511 faithful^G4103 to the Lord^G2962, come^G1525 into^G1519 my^G3450 house^G3624, and abide^G3306 there. And^G2532 she constrained^G3849 us^G2248. 16And^G1161 it came to pass^G1096, as we^G2257 were going^G4198 to^G1519 the place of prayer^G4335, that a certain^G5100 maid^G3814 having^G2192 a spirit^G4151 of divination^G4436 met^G528 us^G2254, who^G3748 brought^G3930 her^G846 masters^G2962 much^G4183 gain^G2039 by soothsaying^G3132. 17The same^G3778 following^G2628 after Paul^G3972 and^G2532 us^G2254 cried^G2896 out, saying^G3004, These^G3778 men^G444 are^G1526 servants^G1401 of the Most High^G5310 God^G2316, who^G3748 proclaim unto^G2605 you^G2254 the way^G3598 of salvation^G4991. 18And^G1161 this^G5124 she^G4160 did for^G1909 many^G4183 days^G2250. But^G1161 Paul^G3972, being sore troubled^G1278, turned^G1994 and^G2532 said^G2036 to the spirit^G4151, I charge^G3853 thee^G4671 in^G1722 the name^G3686 of Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 to come out^G1831 of^G575 her^G846. And^G2532 it came out^G1831 that very^G846 hour^G5610. 19But^G1161 when her^G846 masters^G2962 saw^G1492 that^G3754 the hope^G1680 of their^G846 gain^G2039 was gone^G1831, they laid hold^G1949 on Paul^G3972 and^G2532 Silas^G4609, and dragged^G1670 them into^G1519 the marketplace^G58 before^G1909 the rulers^G758, 20and^G2532 when they had brought^G4317 them^G846 unto the magistrates^G4755, they said^G2036, These^G3778 men^G444, being^G5225 Jews^G2453, do exceedingly trouble^G1613 our^G2257 city^G4172, 21and^G2532 set forth^G2605 customs^G1485 which^G3739 it is^G1832 not^G3756 lawful^G1832 for us^G2254 to receive^G3858, or^G3761 to observe^G4160, being^G5607 Romans^G4514. 22And^G2532 the multitude^G3793 rose up together^G4911 against^G2596 them^G846: and^G2532 the magistrates^G4755 rent their^G846 garments^G2440 off^G4048 them, and commanded^G2753 to beat^G4463 them with rods. 23And^G5037 when they had laid^G2007 many^G4183 stripes^G4127 upon them^G846, they cast^G906 them into^G1519 prison^G5438, charging^G3853 the jailor^G1200 to keep^G5083 them^G846 safely^G806: 24who^G3739, having received^G2983 such^G5108 a charge^G3852, cast^G906 them^G846 into^G1519 the inner^G2082 prison^G5438, and^G2532 made^G805 their^G846 feet^G4228 fast^G805 in^G1519 the stocks^G3586. 25But^G1161 about^G2596 midnight^G3317 Paul^G3972 and^G2532 Silas^G4609 were praying^G4336 and singing hymns^G5214 unto God^G2316, and^G1161 the prisoners^G1198 were listening^G1874 to them^G846; 26and^G1161 suddenly^G869 there was^G1096 a great^G3173 earthquake^G4578, so that^G5620 the foundations^G2310 of the prison-house^G1201 were shaken^G4531: and^G5037 immediately^G3916 all^G3956 the doors^G2374 were opened^G455, and^G2532 every one's^G3956 bands^G1199 were loosed^G447. 27And^G1161 the jailor^G1200, being roused out^G1096 of sleep^G1853 and^G2532 seeing^G1492 the prison^G1200 doors^G2374 open^G455, drew^G4685 his sword^G3162 and was^G3195 about to kill^G337 himself^G1438, supposing that^G3543 the prisoners^G1198 had escaped^G1628. 28But^G1161 Paul^G3972 cried^G5455 with a loud^G3173 voice^G5456, saying^G3004, Do^G4238 thyself^G4572 no^G3367 harm^G2556: for^G1063 we are^G2070 all^G537 here^G1759. 29And^G1161 he called^G154 for lights^G5457 and sprang in^G1530, and^G2532, trembling^G1790 for fear, fell down^G4363 before Paul^G3972 and^G2532 Silas^G4609, 30and^G2532 brought^G4254 them^G846 out^G1854 and said^G5346, Sirs^G2962, what^G5101 must^G1163 I^G3165 do^G4160 to be^G2443 saved^G4982? 31And^G1161 they said^G2036, Believe^G4100 on^G1909 the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424, and^G2532 thou^G4771 shalt be saved^G4982, thou and^G2532 thy^G4675 house^G3624. 32And^G2532 they spake^G2980 the word^G3056 of the Lord^G2962 unto him^G846, with all^G3956 that were^G3588 in^G1722 his^G846 house^G3614. 33And^G2532 he took^G3880 them^G846 the same^G1565 hour^G5610 of the night^G3571, and washed^G3068 their^G575 stripes^G4127; and^G2532 was baptized^G907, he^G846 and^G2532 all^G3956 his^G846, immediately^G3916. 34And^G5037 he brought^G321 them^G846 up into^G1519 his^G846 house^G3624, and set^G3908 food^G5132 before them^G3908, and^G2532 rejoiced^G21 greatly, with all his house^G3832, having believed^G4100 in God^G2316. 35But^G1161 when^G1096 it was day^G2250, the magistrates^G4755 sent^G649 the serjeants^G4465, saying^G3004, Let^G630 those^G1565 men^G444 go^G630. 36And^G1161 the jailor^G1200 reported^G518 the^G5128 words^G3056 to^G4314 Paul^G3754, saying, The magistrates^G4755 have sent^G649 to^G2443 let you go^G630: now^G3568 therefore^G3767 come forth^G1831, and go^G1831 in^G1722 peace^G1515. 37But^G1161 Paul^G3972 said^G5346 unto^G4314 them^G846, They have beaten^G1194 us^G2248 publicly^G1219, uncondemned^G178, men that are^G5225 Romans^G444, and have cast^G906 us into^G1519 prison^G5438; and^G2532 do they now^G3568 cast^G1544 us^G2248 out^G1544 privily^G2977? Nay^G3756 verily^G1063; but^G235 let them come^G2064 themselves^G846 and bring^G1806 us^G2248 out^G1219. 38And^G1161 the serjeants^G4465 reported^G312 these^G5023 words^G4487 unto the magistrates^G4755: and^G2532 they feared^G5399 when they heard^G191 that^G3754 they were^G1526 Romans^G4514; 39and^G2532 they came^G2064 and besought^G3870 them^G846; and^G2532 when they had brought^G1806 them out^G1806, they asked^G2065 them to go^G1831 away from the city^G4172. 40And^G1161 they went^G1831 out of^G1537 the prison^G5438, and entered^G1525 into^G1519 the house of Lydia^G3070: and^G2532 when they had seen^G1492 the brethren^G80, they comforted^G3870 them^G846, and^G2532 departed^G1831.
