Now G1161 Paul also G2532 came G2658 to Derbe G1191 and to Lystra G3082. And a disciple G3101 was there G1563, named G3686 Timothy G5095, the son G5207 of a Jewish G2453 woman G1135 who was a believer G4103, but his father G3962 was a Greek G1672,

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:2 - and he was well G3140 spoken G3140 of by the brothers G80 and sisters who were in Lystra G3082 and Iconium G2430.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:3 - Paul G3972 wanted G2309 this G3778 man G3778 to leave G1831 with him; and he took G2983 him and circumcised G4059 him because G1223 of the Jews G2453 who were in those G1565 parts G5117, for they all G537 knew G6063 that his father G3962 was a Greek G1672.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:4 - Now G1161 while G5613 they were passing G1279 through G1279 the cities G4172, they were delivering G3860 the ordinances G1378 for them to follow G5442 which had been determined G2919 by the apostles G652 and elders G4245 in Jerusalem G2414.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:5 - So G3767 the churches G1577 were being strengthened G4732 [fn]in the faith G4102, and were increasing G4052 in number G706 daily G2596 G2250.

They passed G1330 through G1330 the [fn]Phrygian G5435 and Galatian G1054 region G5561, after being forbidden G2967 by the Holy G40 Spirit G4151 to speak G2980 the word G3056 in [fn]Asia G773;

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:7 - and after they came G2064 to Mysia G3465, they were trying G3985 to go G4198 into Bithynia G978, and the Spirit G4151 of Jesus G2424 did not allow G1439 them;
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:8 - and passing G3928 by Mysia G3465, they went G2597 down G2597 to Troas G5174.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:9 - And a vision G3705 appeared G3708 to Paul G3972 in the night G3571: a man G435 of Macedonia G3110 was standing G2476 and pleading G3870 with him, and saying G3004, “Come G1224 over G1224 to Macedonia G3109 and help G997 us.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:10 - When G5613 he had seen G3708 the vision G3705, we immediately G2112 sought G2212 to leave G1831 for Macedonia G3109, concluding G4822 that God G2316 had called G4341 us to preach G2097 the gospel G2097 to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:11 -

So G3767 after setting G321 sail G321 from Troas G5174, we ran G2113 a G2113 straight G2113 course G2113 to Samothrace G4543, and on the following G1897 day to Neapolis G3496;

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:13 - And on the Sabbath G4521 day G2250 we went G1831 outside G1854 the gate G4439 to a riverside G3844 G4215, where G3757 we were thinking G3543 that there was a place G4335 of G4335 prayer G4335; and we sat G2523 down G2523 and began speaking G2980 to the women G1135 who had assembled G4905.

First Convert in Europe

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:14 - A woman G1135 named G3686 Lydia G3070 was listening G191; she was a seller G4211 of G4211 purple G4211 fabrics G4211 from the city G4172 of Thyatira G2363, and a worshiper G4576 of God G2316. [fn]The Lord G2962 opened G1272 her heart G2588 to respond G4337 to the things G2980 spoken G2980 by Paul G3972.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:15 - Now G1161 when G5613 she and her household G3624 had been baptized G907, she urged G3870 us, saying G3004, “If G1487 you have judged G2919 me to be faithful G4103 to the Lord G2962, come G1525 into my house G3624 and stay G3306.” And she prevailed G3849 upon us.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:16 -

It happened G1096 that as we were going G4198 to the place G4335 of prayer G4335, a slave G3814 woman G3814 who had G2192 a spirit G4151 of divination G4436 met G5221 us, who G3748 was bringing G3930 great G4183 profit G2039 to her masters G2962 by fortune-telling G3132.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:17 - She followed G2628 Paul G3972 and us and cried G2896 out G2896 repeatedly, saying G3004, “These G3778 men G444 are bond-servants G1401 of the Most G5310 High G5310 God G2316, who G3748 are proclaiming G2605 to you a way G3598 of salvation G4991.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:18 - Now G1161 she continued doing G4160 this G3778 for many G4183 days G2250. But Paul G3972 was greatly G1278 annoyed G1278, and he turned G1994 and said G3004 to the spirit G4151, “I command G3853 you in the name G3686 of Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 to come G1831 out G1831 of her!” And it came G1831 out G1831 at that very G846 [fn]moment G5610.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:19 -

But when her masters G2962 saw G3708 that their hope G1680 of profit G2039 was suddenly gone G1831, they seized G1949 Paul G3972 and Silas G4609 and dragged G1670 them into the marketplace G58 before G1909 the authorities G758,

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:20 - and when they had brought G4317 them to the chief G4755 magistrates G4755, they said G3004, “These G3778 men G444, Jews G2453 as G2453 they G2453 are G2453, are causing G1613 our city G4172 trouble G1613,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:21 - and they are proclaiming G2605 customs G1485 that are not lawful G1832 for us to accept G3858 or G3761 to practice G4160, since we are Romans G4514.”

Paul and Silas Imprisoned

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:22 - The crowd G3793 joined G4911 in G4911 an G4911 attack G4911 against G2596 them, and the chief G4755 magistrates G4755 tore G4048 their [fn]robes G2440 off G4048 them and proceeded to order G2753 [fn]them to be beaten G4463 with G4463 rods G4463.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:23 - When they had struck G2007 them with many G4183 blows G4127, they threw G906 them into prison G5438, commanding G3853 the jailer G1200 to guard G5083 them securely G806;
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:24 - [fn]and he, having received G2983 such G5108 a command G3852, threw G906 them into the inner G2082 prison G5438 and fastened G805 their feet G4228 in the [fn]stocks G3586.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:25 -

Now G1161 about G2596 midnight G3317 Paul G3972 and Silas G4609 were praying G4336 and singing G5214 hymns G5214 of G5214 praise G5214 to God G2316, and the prisoners G1198 were listening G1874 to G1874 them;

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:26 - and suddenly G869 there was a great G3173 earthquake G4578, so G5620 that G5620 the foundations G2310 of the prison G1201 were shaken G4531; and immediately G3916 all G3956 the doors G2374 were opened G455, and everyone’s G3956 chains G1199 were unfastened G447.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:27 - When the jailer G1200 awoke G1853 and saw G3708 the prison G5438 doors G2374 opened G455, he drew G4685 his sword G3162 and was G3195 about G3195 to G3195 kill G337 himself G1438, thinking G3543 that the prisoners G1198 had escaped G1628.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:28 - But Paul G3972 called G5455 out G5455 with a loud G3173 voice G5456, saying G3004, “Do G4238 not harm G2556 yourself G4572, for we are all G537 here G1759!”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:29 - And the jailer asked G154 for lights G5457 and rushed G1530 in G1530, and trembling G1790 with G1790 fear G1790, he fell G4363 down G4363 before G4363 Paul G3972 and Silas G4609;
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:30 - and after he brought G4254 them out, he said G5346, “Sirs G2962, what G5101 must G1163 I do G4160 to be saved G4982?”

The Jailer Converted

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:31 - They said G3004, “Believe G4100 in the Lord G2962 Jesus G2424, and you will be saved G4982, you and your household G3624.”

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:34 - And he brought G321 them into his house G3624 and set G3908 [fn]food G5132 before G3908 them, and was [fn]overjoyed G21, since he had become G4100 a G4100 believer G4100 in God G2316 together G3832 with G3832 his whole G3832 household G3832.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:35 -

Now G1161 when day G2250 came G1096, the chief G4755 magistrates G4755 sent G649 their officers G4465, saying G3004, “Release G630 those G1565 men G444.”

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:36 - And the jailer G1200 reported G518 these G3778 words G3056 to Paul G3972, saying, “The chief G4755 magistrates G4755 have sent G649 word that you be released G630. So G3767 come G1831 out G1831 now G3568 and go G4198 in peace G1515.”

No G3756 indeed G1063! On the contrary G1161, let them come G2064 [fn]in person G846 and lead G1806 us out G1806.”
