1Then came he to Derba and (to) Listra. And behold a certain disciple was there named Timotheus, a woman's son which was a jewess and believed, but his father was a greek.
2Of whom reported well,(the same had a good report among) the brethren of Listra and of(at) Iconium.
3(The same) Paul would that he should 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.
4As they went thorow the cities, they delivered them the decrees for(sentence) to keep, ordained(which was concluded) of the apostles and seniors(elders) which were at Jerusalem.
5(And) So were the congregations stablished in the faith, and increased in number daily.
6When they had gone(went) thorowout Phrigia and the region(land) of Galatia, and were forbidden of the holy ghost to preach the word in Asia,
7they came to Misia, and sought to go into Bethinia, and(But) the spirit suffered them not.
8When(Then) they went over Misia, and came down to Troada
9and a vision appeared to Paul in the night. There stood a man of Macedonia and prayed him saying: Come into(down to) Macedonia and help us.
10After he had seen the vision immediately we prepared(sought) to go into Macedonia certified that the Lord had called us for(us thither) to preach the gospel(gospell) unto them.
11Then loosed we forth(departed) from Troada, and with a straight course came we to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolim,
12and from thence to Philippos, which is the chiefest city in the parts of Macedonia and a free city. We were in that city abiding a certain days.
13And on the Sabbath days we went out of the city besides a river where men were wont to pray, and we sat down and spake unto the women which thither resorted.
14And a certain(devout) woman named Lidia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira which worshipped God, gave us audience,(hearkened to) whose heart God(the Lord) opened that she attended unto those(the) things which(gave heed unto the things that) Paul spake.
15When she was baptised, and her household, she besought us saying: If ye think that I believe on the Lord come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us.
16(And) It fortuned as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit that prophesied(spirit of soothsaying) met us, which brought her master and masters much vantage with prophesying.(sooth saying)
17The same followed Paul and us (and cried) saying: These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of health.(salvation.)
18And this did she many days. But Paul not content turned about and said to the spirit: I command thee in the name of Jesu Christ that thou come(depart) out of her. And he came(departed) out the same hour.
19(And) When her master and mastress saw that the hope of their gains(vantage) was gone, they caught(took) Paul and Silas, and brought(drew) them into the market place unto the(before the) rulers,
20and delivered(brought) them to the officers saying: These men trouble our city, which are jews
21and shew new decrees,(preach ordinances) which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe seeing we are romans.
22And the people ran on them, and the officers rent their clothes, and commanded them to be beaten with rods,
23and when they had beaten them sore, they cast them into prison commanding the jailer to keep them surely.(diligently)
24Which (jailer) when he had received such commandment thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
25At midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and lauded(praised) God. And the prisoners heard them.
26(And) Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundation of the prison was shaken, and by and by all the doors opened, and every man's bonds were loosed.(lowsed)
27When the keeper of the prison waked out of his sleep, and saw the prison doors open, he drew out his sword and would have killed himself, supposing(for he thought) the prisoners had been fled.
28(But) Paul cried with a loud voice saying: Do thyself no harm, for we are all here.
29(Then) He called for a light and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,
30and brought them out and said: Sirs what must I do to be saved?
31And they said: believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved and thy household.
32And they preached unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
33And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their wounds,(stripes) and was baptised with all that belonged unto him straight way.(immediately)
34When he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and joyed that he with all his household believed on God.
35And when it was day the officers sent the ministers saying: Let those men go.
36The keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul: the officers have sent word to loose you. Now therefore get you hence and go in peace.
37Then said Paul unto them: They have beaten us openly uncondemned, for all that we are romans, and have cast us into prison: and now would they send us away privily? Nay not so, but let them come themselves and fetch us out.
38(When) The ministers told these words unto the officers and they feared when they heard that they were romans,
39and came and besought them, and brought them out, and desired(prayed) them to depart out of the city.
40(And) They went out of the prison and entered into the house of Lidia, and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them and departed.
