Chapter 16
Then
came
he
to
Derbe,
and
Lystra:
and
behold,
a
certaine
disciple
was
there,
named
Timotheus,
the
son
of
a
certaine
woman
which
was
a
Iewesse,
and
beleeued:
but
his
father
was
a
Greeke:
2
Which
was
well
reported
of
by
the
brethren
that
were
at
Lystra
and
Iconium.
3
Him
would
Paul
haue
to
go
forth
with
him,
and
tooke,
and
circumcised
him,
because
of
the
Iewes
which
were
in
those
quarters:
for
they
knew
all,
that
his
father
was
a
Greeke.
4
And
as
they
went
through
the
cities,
they
deliuered
them
the
decrees
for
to
keepe,
that
were
ordeined
of
the
Apostles
and
Elders,
which
were
at
Hierusalem.
5
And
so
were
the
Churches
established
in
the
faith,
and
increased
in
number
dayly.
6
Now
when
they
had
gone
thorowout
Phrygia,
and
the
region
of
Galatia,
and
were
forbidden
of
the
holy
Ghost
to
preach
the
word
in
Asia,
7
After
they
were
come
to
Mysia,
they
assayed
to
goe
into
Bithynia:
but
the
Spirit
suffered
them
not.
8
And
they
passing
by
Mysia,
came
downe
to
Troas.
9
And
a
vision
appeared
to
Paul
in
the
night:
There
stood
a
man
of
Macedonia,
and
prayed
him,
saying,
Come
ouer
into
Macedonia,
and
helpe
vs.
10
And
after
he
had
seene
the
vision,
immediatly
we
endeuoured
to
goe
into
Macedonia,
assuredly
gathering,
that
the
Lord
had
called
vs
for
to
preach
the
Gospel
vnto
them.
11
Therfore
loosing
from
Troas,
we
came
with
a
straight
course
to
Samothracia,
and
the
next
day
to
Neapolis:
12
And
from
thence
to
Philippi,
which
is
the
chiefe
citie
of
that
part
of
Macedonia,
and
a
Colonie:
and
we
were
in
that
citie
abiding
certaine
dayes.
13
And
on
the
Sabboth
we
went
out
of
the
citie
by
a
riuer
side,
where
prayer
was
wont
to
be
made,
&
we
sate
downe,
and
spake
vnto
the
women
which
resorted
thither.
14
And
a
certaine
woman
named
Lydia,
a
seller
of
purple,
of
the
citie
of
Thyatira,
which
worshipped
God,
heard
vs:
whose
heart
the
Lord
opened,
that
she
attended
vnto
the
things
which
were
spoken
of
Paul.
15
And
when
she
was
baptized,
and
her
houshold,
she
besought
vs,
saying,
If
ye
haue
iudged
me
to
bee
faithfull
to
the
Lord,
come
into
my
house,
and
abide
there.
And
she
constrained
vs.
16
And
it
came
to
passe,
as
we
went
to
prayer,
a
certaine
Damosell
possessed
with
a
spirit
of
diuination,
met
vs:
which
brought
her
masters
much
gaine
by
soothsaying.
17
The
same
followed
Paul
and
vs,
and
cried,
saying,
These
men
are
the
seruants
of
the
most
hie
God,
which
shew
vnto
vs
the
way
of
saluation.
18
And
this
did
she
many
dayes:
but
Paul
being
grieued,
turned
and
said
to
the
spirit,
I
command
thee
in
the
Name
of
Iesus
Christ,
to
come
out
of
her.
And
he
came
out
the
same
houre.
19
And
when
her
Masters
saw
that
the
hope
of
their
gaines
was
gone,
they
caught
Paul
and
Silas,
and
drew
them
into
the
market
place,
vnto
the
rulers,
20
And
brought
them
to
the
Magistrates,
saying,
These
men
being
Iewes,
do
exceedingly
trouble
our
city,
21
And
teach
customes
which
are
not
lawfull
for
vs
to
receiue,
neither
to
obserue,
being
Romanes.
22
And
the
multitude
rose
vp
together
against
them,
and
the
Magistrates
rent
off
their
clothes,
and
commanded
to
beate
them.
23
And
when
they
had
layed
many
stripes
vpon
them,
they
cast
them
into
prison,
charging
the
Iaylour
to
keepe
them
safely.
24
Who
hauing
receiued
such
a
charge,
thrust
them
into
the
inner
prison,
&
made
their
feet
fast
in
the
stockes.
25
And
at
midnight,
Paul
and
Silas
prayed,
and
sang
praises
vnto
God:
and
the
prisoners
heard
them.
26
And
suddenly
there
was
a
great
earthquake,
so
that
the
foundations
of
the
prison
were
shaken:
and
immediately
all
the
doores
were
opened,
and
euery
ones
bands
were
loosed.
27
And
the
keeper
of
the
prison
awaking
out
of
his
sleepe,
and
seeing
the
prison
doores
open,
he
drew
out
his
sword,
and
would
haue
killed
himselfe,
supposing
that
the
prisoners
had
beene
fled.
28
But
Paul
cried
with
a
loud
voice,
saying,
Doe
thy
selfe
no
harme,
for
we
are
all
heere.
29
Then
hee
called
for
a
light,
and
sprang
in,
and
came
trembling,
and
fell
downe
before
Paul
and
Silas,
30
And
brought
them
out,
and
said,
Sirs,
what
must
I
doe
to
be
saued?
31
And
they
saide,
Beleeue
on
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ,
and
thou
shalt
be
saued,
and
thy
house.
32
And
they
spake
vnto
him
the
word
of
the
Lord,
and
to
all
that
were
in
his
house.
33
And
hee
tooke
them
the
same
houre
of
the
night,
and
washed
their
stripes,
and
was
baptized,
hee
and
all
his,
straightway.
34
And
when
he
had
brought
them
into
his
house,
hee
set
meat
before
them,
and
reioyced,
beleeuing
in
God
with
all
his
house.
35
And
when
it
was
day,
the
Magistrates
sent
the
Sergeants,
saying,
Let
those
men
goe.
36
And
the
keeper
of
the
prison
told
this
saying
to
Paul,
The
Magistrates
haue
sent
to
let
you
goe:
Now
therefore
depart,
and
goe
in
peace.
37
But
Paul
said
vnto
them,
They
haue
beaten
vs
openly
vncondemned,
being
Romanes,
and
haue
cast
vs
into
prison,
and
now
doe
they
thrust
vs
out
priuily?
Nay
verily,
but
let
them
come
themselues,
and
fetch
vs
out.
38
And
the
Sergeants
tolde
these
words
vnto
the
Magistrates:
and
they
feared
when
they
heard
that
they
were
Romanes.
39
And
they
came
and
besought
them,
and
brought
them
out,
and
desired
them
to
depart
out
of
the
citie.
40
And
they
went
out
of
the
prison,
and
entred
into
the
house
of
Lydia,
and
when
they
had
seene
the
brethren,
they
comforted
them,
and
departed.
