Unchecked Copy BoxAct 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,

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:11 - having set sail, therefore, from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, on the morrow also to Neapolis,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 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,

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 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.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:21 - and they proclaim customs that are not lawful for us to receive nor to do, being Romans.'

Paul and Silas Imprisoned

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 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,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:23 - many blows also having laid upon them, they cast them to prison, having given charge to the jailor to keep them safely,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:24 - who such a charge having received, did put them to the inner prison, and their feet made fast in the stocks.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 16:30 - and having brought them forth, said, 'Sirs, what must I do -- that I may be saved?'

The Jailer Converted

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 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.'

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 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.
