Andasthey went throughthecities, they deliveredthemthedecreesfor to keep, that were ordainedoftheapostlesandelderswhichwere atJerusalem. Andsowere thechurchesestablishedin thefaith, andincreasedin numberdaily. Nowwhen they had gone throughoutPhrygiaandtheregionof Galatia, and were forbiddenoftheHolyGhostto preachthewordinAsia, After they were cometoMysia, they attemptedto gointoBithynia: buttheSpiritsufferedthemnot. Andthey passing byMysiacame downtoTroas. Anda visionappearedto Paulinthenight; there stooda manof Macedonia, andprayedhim, saying, Come overintoMacedonia, and helpus. Andafterhe had seenthevision, immediatelywe endeavoredto gointoMacedonia, assuredly gatheringthattheLordhad calledusfor to preach the gospelunto them. ThereforeloosingfromTroas, we came with a straight coursetoSamothracia, andthenext day toNeapolis; Andfrom thencetoPhilippi, whichisthe chiefcityof that partof Macedonia, and a colony: andwe wereinthatcityabidingcertaindays. Andonthesabbathwe wentoutof thecitybya river side, whereprayerwas wontto be made; andwe sat down, and spakeunto thewomenwhich resorted thither. Anda certainwomannamedLydia, a seller of purple, of the cityof Thyatira, which worshippedGod, heard us : whosehearttheLordopened, that she attendedunto the things which were spokenofPaul. Andwhenshe was baptized, andherhousehold, she besought us, saying, Ifye have judgedmeto befaithfulto theLord, comeintomyhouse, and abide there. Andshe constrainedus. Andit came to pass, as wewenttoprayer, a certaindamselpossessedwith a spiritof divinationmetus, whichbroughthermastersmuchgainby soothsaying: The samefollowedPaulandus, and cried, saying, Thesemenarethe servantsof themost highGod, whichshowunto usthe wayof salvation. Andthisdidshemanydays. ButPaul, being grieved, turnedandsaidto thespirit, I commandtheeinthenameof JesusChristto comeout ofher. Andhe came outthesamehour. Andwhen hermasterssawthatthehopeof theirgainswas gone, they caughtPaulandSilas, and drew them intothemarketplaceuntotherulers, Andbroughtthemto themagistrates, saying, Thesemen, beingJews, do exceedingly troubleourcity, Andteachcustoms, whichare not lawfulfor usto receive, neitherto observe, beingRomans. Andthemultituderose up togetheragainstthem: andthemagistratesrent offtheirclothes, and commandedto beat them. Andwhen they had laidmanystripesupon them, they cast them intoprison, chargingthejailerto keepthemsafely: Who, having receivedsucha charge, thrustthemintotheinnerprison, andmade their feet fastinthestocks. AndatmidnightPaulandSilasprayed, andsang praisesunto God: andtheprisonersheardthem. Andsuddenlythere wasa greatearthquake, so thatthefoundationsof theprisonwere shaken: andimmediatelyallthedoorswere opened, andevery one's bandswere loosed. Andthekeeper of the prisonawaking out of his sleep, andseeingtheprisondoorsopen, he drew outhis sword, and wouldhave killedhimself, supposingthat theprisonershad been fled. ButPaulcriedwith a loudvoice, saying, Dothyselfnoharm: forwe areallhere. Thenhe calledfor a light, and sprang in, andcametrembling, and fell down beforePaulandSilas, Andbroughtthemout, and said, Sirs, whatmustIdotobe saved?
