44_ACT_16_01 Then came he to Derbe And Lystra : And , behold , A certain disciple was there , named Timotheus , the son of A certain woman , which was A Jewess , And believed ; but his Father [ was ] A Greek :
44_ACT_16_02 which was Well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra And Iconium .
44_ACT_16_03 him would Paul have to go forth with him ; And took And circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters : for they knew all that his Father was A Greek .
44_ACT_16_04 And as they went through the cities , they delivered them the decrees for to keep , that were ordained of the apostles And elders which were at Jerusalem .
44_ACT_16_05 And So were the churches established in the faith , And increased in number daily .
44_ACT_16_06 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 ,
44_ACT_16_07 after they were come to Mysia , they assayed to go into Bithynia : but the spirit suffered them not .
44_ACT_16_08 And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas .
44_ACT_16_09 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 .
44_ACT_16_10 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 .
44_ACT_16_11 therefore loosing from Troas , we came with A straight course to Samothracia , And the next [ day ] to Neapolis ;
44_ACT_16_12 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 .
44_ACT_16_13 And on the sabbath we went out of the city by A river side , where prayer was wont to be made ; And we sat down , And spake unto the women which resorted [ thither ] .
44_ACT_16_14 And A certain woman named Lydia , A seller of purple , of the city of Thyatira , which worshipped God , heard [ us ] : whose heart the LORD opened , that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul .
44_ACT_16_15 And when she was baptized , And her household , she besought [ us ] , saying , if ye have judged me to be faithful to the LORD , come into my house , And abide [ there ] . And she constrained us .
44_ACT_16_16 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 :
44_ACT_16_17 the same followed Paul And us , And cried , saying , These men are the servants of the most high God , which show unto us the way of salvation .
44_ACT_16_18 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 .
44_ACT_16_19 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 ,
44_ACT_16_20 And brought them to the magistrates , saying , These men , being Jews , do exceedingly Trouble our city ,
44_ACT_16_21 And teach customs , which are not lawful for us to receive , neither to observe , being Romans .
44_ACT_16_22 And the multitude rose up together against them : And the magistrates rent off their clothes , And commanded to beat [ them ] .
44_ACT_16_23 And when they had laid Many stripes upon them , they cast [ them ] into prison , charging the jailor to keep them safely :
44_ACT_16_24 who , having received such A charge , thrust them into the inner prison , And made their feet fast in the stocks .
44_ACT_16_25 And at midnight Paul And Silas prayed , And sang praises unto God : And the prisoners heard them .
44_ACT_16_26 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 .
44_ACT_16_27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his Sleep , And seeing the prison doors open , he drew out his sword , And would have killed himself , supposing that the prisoners had been fled .
44_ACT_16_28 but Paul cried with A loud voice , saying , do thyself no harm : for we are all here .
44_ACT_16_29 Then he called for A light , And sprang in , And came trembling , And fell down before Paul And Silas ,
44_ACT_16_30 And brought them out , And said , Sirs , what must I do to be saved ?
44_ACT_16_31 And they said , believe on the LORD Jesus Christ , And thou shalt be saved , And thy house .
44_ACT_16_32 And they spake unto him the word of the LORD , And to all that were in his house .
44_ACT_16_33 And he took them the same hour of the night , And washed [ their ] stripes ; And was baptized , he And all his , straightway .
44_ACT_16_34 And when he had brought them into his house , he set meat before them , And rejoiced , believing in God with all his house .
44_ACT_16_35 And when it was day , the magistrates sent the serjeants , saying , let those men go .
44_ACT_16_36 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 .
44_ACT_16_37 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 .
44_ACT_16_38 And the serjeants told These words unto the magistrates : And they feared , when they heard that they were Romans .
44_ACT_16_39 And they came And besought them , And brought [ them ] out , And desired [ them ] to Depart out of the city .
44_ACT_16_40 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 .
