Acts - Chapter: 16


16:1	And he came to Derbe and Lystra, and lo, a certain disciple was there, by name Timotheus son of a certain woman, a believing Jewess, but of a father, a Greek,
16:2	who was well testified to by the brethren in Lystra and Iconium;
16:3	this one did Paul wish to go forth with him, and having taken `him', he circumcised him, because of the Jews who are in those places, for they all knew his father -- that he was a Greek.
16:4	And as they were going on through the cities, they were delivering to them the decrees to keep, that have been judged by the apostles and the elders who `are' in Jerusalem,
16:5	then, indeed, were the assemblies established in the faith, and were abounding in number every day;
16:6	and having gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia,
16:7	having gone toward Mysia, they were trying to go on toward Bithynia, and the Spirit did not suffer them,
16:8	and having passed by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
16:9	And a vision through the night appeared to Paul -- a certain man of Macedonia was standing, calling upon him, and saying, `Having passed through to Macedonia, help us;' --
16:10	and when he saw the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go forth to Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord hath called us to preach good news to them,
16:11	having set sail, therefore, from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, on the morrow also to Neapolis,
16:12	thence also to Philippi, which is a principal city of the part of Macedonia -- a colony. And we were in this city abiding certain days,
16:13	on the sabbath-day also we went forth outside of the city, by a river, where there used to be prayer, and having sat down, we were speaking to the women who came together,
16:14	and a certain woman, by name Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, worshipping God, was hearing, whose heart the Lord did open to attend to the things spoken by Paul;
16:15	and when she was baptized, and her household, she did call upon us, saying, `If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, having entered into my house, remain;' and she constrained us.
16:16	And it came to pass in our going on to prayer, a certain maid, having a spirit of Python, did meet us, who brought much employment to her masters by soothsaying,
16:17	she having followed Paul and us, was crying, saying, `These men are servants of the Most High God, who declare to us a way of salvation;'
16:18	and this she was doing for many days, but Paul having been grieved, and having turned, said to the spirit, `I command thee, in the name of Jesus Christ, to come forth from her;' and it came forth the same hour.
16:19	And her masters having seen that the hope of their employment was gone, having caught Paul and Silas, drew `them' to the market-place, unto the rulers,
16:20	and having brought them to the magistrates, they said, `These men do exceedingly trouble our city, being Jews;
16:21	and they proclaim customs that are not lawful for us to receive nor to do, being Romans.'
16:22	And the multitude rose up together against them, and the magistrates having torn their garments from them, were commanding to beat `them' with rods,
16:23	many blows also having laid upon them, they cast them to prison, having given charge to the jailor to keep them safely,
16:24	who such a charge having received, did put them to the inner prison, and their feet made fast in the stocks.
16:25	And at midnight Paul and Silas praying, were singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were hearing them,
16:26	and suddenly a great earthquake came, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken, opened also presently were all the doors, and of all -- the bands were loosed;
16:27	and the jailor having come out of sleep, and having seen the doors of the prison open, having drawn a sword, was about to kill himself, supposing the prisoners to be fled,
16:28	and Paul cried out with a loud voice, saying, `Thou mayest not do thyself any harm, for we are all here.'
16:29	And, having asked for a light, he sprang in, and trembling he fell down before Paul and Silas,
16:30	and having brought them forth, said, `Sirs, what must I do -- that I may be saved?'
16:31	and they said, `Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved -- thou and thy house;'
16:32	and they spake to him the word of the Lord, and to all those in his household;
16:33	and having taken them, in that hour of the night, he did bathe `them' from the blows, and was baptized, himself and all his presently,
16:34	having brought them also into his house, he set food before `them', and was glad with all the household, he having believed in God.
16:35	And day having come, the magistrates sent the rod-bearers, saying, `Let those men go;'
16:36	and the jailor told these words unto Paul -- `The magistrates have sent, that ye may be let go; now, therefore, having gone forth go on in peace;'
16:37	and Paul said to them, `Having beaten us publicly uncondemned -- men, Romans being -- they did cast `us' to prison, and now privately do they cast us forth! why no! but having come themselves, let them bring us forth.'
16:38	And the rod-bearers told to the magistrates these sayings, and they were afraid, having heard that they are Romans,
16:39	and having come, they besought them, and having brought `them' forth, they were asking `them' to go forth from the city;
16:40	and they, having gone forth out of the prison, entered into `the house of' Lydia, and having seen the brethren, they comforted them, and went forth.


16:1	Then came he to Derba and to Lystra. And beholde a certayne disciple was there named Timotheus a womans sonne which was a Iewas and beleved: but his father was a Greke.
16:2	Of whom reported well the brethren of Lystra and of Iconium.
16:3	The same Paul wolde yt he shuld goo forth with him and toke and circumcised him because of the Iewes which were in those quarters: for they knewe all that his father was a Greke.
16:4	As they went thorow ye cities they delyvered the the decrees for to kepe ordeyned of the Apostles and elders which were at Ierusalem.
16:5	And so were the congregacions stablisshed in the fayth and encreased in noumbre dayly.
16:6	When they had goone thorow out Phrigia and the region of Galacia and were forbydde of the holy gost to preach the worde in Asia
16:7	they came to Misia and sought to goo into Bethinia. But the sprete soffered the not.
16:8	Then they went over Misia and cam doune to Troada.
16:9	And a vision appered to Paul in ye nyght. There stode a man of Macedonia and prayed him sayinge: come into Macedonia and helpe vs.
16:10	After he had sene ye vision immediatly we prepared to goo into Macedonia certified yt the lorde had called vs for to preache the gospell vnto them.
16:11	Then lowsed we forth from Troada and with a strayght course came to Samothracia and the nexte daye to Neapolim
16:12	and from thence to Philippos which is the chefest citie in ye partes of Macedonia and a fre cite. We were in that cite abydynge a certayne dayes.
16:13	And on the saboth dayes we went out of the cite besydes a ryver where men were wont to praye and we sate doune and spake vnto the wemen which resorted thyther.
16:14	And a certayne woman named Lydia a seller of purple of the cite of Thiatira which worshipped God gave vs audience. Whose hert the Lorde opened that she attended vnto the thinges which Paul spake.
16:15	When she was baptised and her housholde she besought vs sayinge: Yf ye thinke that I beleve on the Lorde come into my housse and abyde there. And she constrayned vs.
16:16	And it fortuned as we went to prayer a certayn damsell possessed with a sprete that prophesied met vs which brought her master and mastres moche vauntage with prophesyinge.
16:17	The same folowed Paul and vs and cryed sayinge: these men are the servauntes of the most hye God which shewe vnto vs the waye of salvacion.
16:18	And this dyd she many dayes. But Paul not cotent turned about and sayd to the sprete: I commaunde the in the name of Iesu Christ that thou come out of her. And he came out the same houre.
16:19	And when her master and mastres sawe yt the hope of their gaynes was gone they caught Paul and Sylas and drue the into the market place vnto the rulars
16:20	and brought them to the officers sayinge: These men trouble oure cite which are Iewes
16:21	and preache ordinaunces which are not laufull for vs to receave nether to observe seinge we are Romayns.
16:22	And the people ranne on them and the officers rent their clothes and comaunded them to be beaten with roddes.
16:23	And when they had beaten them sore they cast them into preson comaundynge the iayler to kepe them surely.
16:24	Which iayler when he had receaved suche comaundment thrust them into the ynner preson and made their fete fast in the stockes.
16:25	At mydnyght Paul and Sylas prayed and lauded God. And the presoners hearde them.
16:26	And sodenly ther was a greate erth quake so that ye fonndacion of the preson was shaken and by and by all the dores opened and every mannes bondes were lowsed.
16:27	When the keper of ye preson waked out of his slepe and sawe the preson dores open he drue out his swearde and wolde have kylled him selfe supposynge the presoners had bene fledde.
16:28	But Paul cryed with a lowde voyce sayinge: Do thy selfe no harme for we are all heare.
16:29	Then he called for a lyght and sprange in and came tremblynge and fell doune before Paul and Sylas
16:30	and brought them out and sayde: Syrs what must I do to be saved?
16:31	And they sayde: beleve on the Lorde Iesus and thou shalt be saved and thy housholde.
16:32	And they preached vnto him the worde of the Lorde and to all that were in his housse.
16:33	And he toke them the same houre of the nyght and wasshed their woundes and was baptised with all that belonged vnto him strayght waye.
16:34	Whe he had brought them into his housse he set meate before them and ioyed that he with all his housholde boleved on God.
16:35	And when it was daye the officers sent the ministres sayinge: Let those men goo.
16:36	The keper of ye preson tolde this sayinge to Paul the officiers have sent worde to lowse you. Now therfore get you hence and goo in peace.
16:37	Then sayde Paul vnto them: they have beaten vs openly vncomdempned for all yt we are Romayns and have cast vs into preson: and now wolde they sende vs awaye prevely? Naye not so but let them come the selves and set vs out.
16:38	When the ministres tolde these wordes vnto the officers they feared when they hearde that they were Romayns
16:39	and came and besought them and brought them out and desyred them to departe out of the cite.
16:40	And they wet out of ye preson and entred into the housse of Lidia and whe they had sene the brethren they comforted them and departed.


16:1	He came vnto Derba and to Lystra, and beholde, a certayne disciple was there named Timotheus, the sonne of a Iewish woman, which beleued, but his father was a Greke:

16:3	Paul wolde that the same shulde go forth with him, and toke and circumcysed him because of the Iewes that were in those quarters. For they knewe all, that his father was a Greke.
16:4	But as they wente thorow the cities, they delyuered them the sentence to kepe, which was concluded of the Apostles and Elders at Ierusalem.
16:5	The were the congregacions stablyshed in the faith, and increased in nombre daylie.

16:18	This dyd she many dayes. But Paul was not content with it, and turned him aboute, and sayde vnto the sprete: I comaunde the in the name of Iesu Christ, that thou departe out of her. And he departed out at the same houre.

16:24	Which whan he had receaued soch commaundement, he cast the in to the ynner preson, and put their fete in the stockes.
16:25	But at mydnight prayed Paul and Sylas, and praysed God. And the presoners herde them.
