Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ and then went down to Derbe and Lystra. And behold there was there a certain disciple, named Timothy, whose mother was a believing Jewess, but his father was a Greek. ² He was well spoken of by the brethren in Lystra and Iconium. ³ This man Paul wished to go with him. So he took and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those places, for they all knew that his father was a Greek. ⁴ And as they passed through the cities they "delivered to their keeping the determinations of the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem. ⁵ So the congregations were established in the faith, and grew daily more and more numerous. ⁶ Now when they had passed through Phrygia and Galatia, [having been restrained by the holy spirit from speaking the word in Asia proper] ⁷ coming towards Mysia, they attempted to go to Bithynia, but the spirit did not permit them. ⁸ So passing by Mysia, they went down to Troas. ⁹ And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; it was a certain man, a Macedonian, standing and intreating him, and saying, Cross over to Macedonia and help us. ¹⁰ Therefore as he saw this vision, we immediately endeavoured to go to Macedonia, concluding from it, that the Lord called us to publish the glad tidings to them. ¹¹ So, embarking at Troas, we sailed directly to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis, ¹² and thence to Philippi, which is a city of the first district of Macedonia, a Roman colony. And in this city we continued several days, ¹³ and on the sabbath day we went out of the city to the river side, where there was an established place of prayer, and sat down and spoke to the women who had assembled. ¹⁴ And a certain woman, named Lydia, a dealer in purple, of the city of Thyatira, a worshipper of God, was listening. The Lord had opened her heart to attend to the things which were spoken by Paul. ¹⁵ And when she and her household were baptized, she intreated us saying, If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord come and lodge at my house. So she prevailed upon us. ¹⁶ And it came to pass, as we were going to the oratory, we were met by a certain female slave who had a spirit of Python, and who brought her masters much gain by divining. ¹⁷ This girl, following Paul and us, cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God. They are telling us the way of salvation. ¹⁸ And this she did for many days. At length Paul, being troubled, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee, in the name of Jesus Christ, to go out of her. And at that instant it went out.
