Acts 16:1-18

Rotherham(i) 1 And he came even unto Derbe, and unto Lystra; and lo! a certain disciple, was there, by name Timothy, son of a believing Jewish woman, but whose father was a Greek,–– 2 who was well–attested by the brethren in Lystra, and Iconium. 3 The same, would Paul have go forth with him, and took and circumcised him, on account of the Jews who were in those places; for they one and all knew that, his father, was, a Greek. 4 And, as they passed through the cities, they were delivering unto them, for observance, the decrees which had been decided upon by the Apostles and Elders who were in Jerusalem. 5 The assemblies, therefore, were being confirmed in the faith, and increasing in number, every day.
6 And they passed through the Phrygian and Galatian country, being forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia; 7 but, coming along Mysia, they were attempting to journey into Bithynia,––and, the Spirit of Jesus, suffered them not; 8 but, passing by Mysia, they came down unto Troas. 9 And, a vision, by night, unto Paul appeared:––A man of Macedonia, there was, standing and beseeching him, and saying––Come over into Macedonia, and bring us succour! 10 Now, when, the vision, he had seen, straightway, we sought to go forth unto Macedonia, concluding that God, had summoned us to tell the glad tidings unto them. 11 Setting sail, therefore, from Troas, we ran straight into Samothracia, and, on the morrow, unto New City, 12 and, from thence, unto Philippi,––which, indeed, is the first city of the part of Macedonia––a colony. And we were, in this city, spending certain days; 13 and on the day of rest, we went forth outside the gate, beside a river, where we supposed there was a place of prayer,––and, sitting down, we went on to speak unto the women who had come together. 14 And, a certain woman, by name Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, devout towards God, was hearkening, whose heart, the Lord, fully opened, to be giving heed unto the things being spoken by Paul. 15 And, when she was immersed, and her house, she besought [us], saying––If ye have judged me to be a believer in the Lord, come into my house, and abide [there]. And she constrained us.
16 And it came to pass, as we were on our way unto the place of prayer, a certain damsel, having a spirit of Python, met us,––who, indeed, much gain, was presenting unto her masters, by divining. 17 The same, following after Paul and us, kept crying aloud, saying––These men, are servants of the Most High God,––who, indeed, are declaring unto you a way of salvation. 18 And, this, she continued to do for many days. But Paul, worn out, and turning unto the spirit, said––I charge thee, in the name of Jesus Christ, to come out from her. And it came out the same hour.
