Acts 16

1 He came then (both *no) to Derbe and (to *no) Lystra. And behold a disciple certain was there, named Timothy, [the] son of a woman (certain *k) Jewish believing, father however a Greek;

2 who was well spoken of by the in Lystra and Iconium brothers.

3 This one wanted Paul with him to go forth, and having taken he circumcised him on account of the Jews those being in the parts those; they knew for all that a Greek (the father *N+kO) of him was.

4 While then they were passing through the cities, they were delivering to them to keep the decrees which [were] decided on by the apostles and (of the *k) elders who [were] in Jerusalem.

5 The indeed therefore churches were strengthened in the faith and were increasing in number every day.

6 (they passed through *N+kO) then Phrygia and (the *k) Galatian region having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia,

7 having come (then *no) down to Mysia they were attempting (into *N+kO) Bithynia (to go, *N+kO) and not did allow them the Spirit (of Jesus. *NO)

8 having passed by then Mysia they came down to Troas.

9 And a vision during the night to Paul appeared: A man of Macedonia certain was already standing (and *no) beseeching him and saying; Having passed over into Macedonia do help us.

10 When now the vision he had seen, immediately we sought to go forth to Macedonia concluding that he has called us (God *N+KO) to evangelise to them.

11 Having sailed (then *N+KO) from Troas we made a straight course to Samothrace, (and *N+kO) the following day to Nea Polis,

12 (and from there and from there *N+kO) to Philippi, which is ([the] leading [city] *N+kO) (of the *ko) district of Macedonia [the] city, [and Roman] colony. We were now in (this *NK+o) city staying days some.

13 On the then day of the Sabbaths we went forth outside the (gate *N+KO) by a river where (we were accustomed *N+KO) (prayer *N+kO) to have, And having sat down we were speaking to those having gathered women.

14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple of [the] city of Thyatira worshiping God, was listening of whom the Lord opened the heart to attend to the [things] being spoken by Paul.

15 When then she was baptized and the house of her, she begged saying; If you have judged me faithful to the Lord to be, having entered into the house of mine (do remain; *N+kO) And she persuaded us.

16 It happened now going of us to (the *no) [place of] prayer, a girl certain having a spirit (Python meeting by *N+kO) us, who gain much was bringing the masters of her by fortune-telling.

17 She (having followed *N+kO) after Paul and us was crying out saying; These men servants of the God Most High are, who proclaim (to you *N+KO) [the] way of salvation.

18 This then she was continuing for many days. Having been distressed then Paul and having turned to the spirit he said; I command you in (the *k) name of Jesus Christ to come out from her. And it came out on [the] same hour.

19 Having seen now the masters of her that was gone the hope of the profit of them, having taken hold of Paul and Silas they dragged [them] into the marketplace before the rulers,

20 and having brought up them to the magistrates they said; These men exceedingly trouble of us the city Jews being;

21 and preach customs that not it is lawful for us to accept nor to practice Romans being.

22 And rose up together the crowd against them, and the magistrates having torn off of them the garments were commanding to beat with rods;

23 Many (then *NK+o) having laid on them blows they cast [them] into prison having charged the to jailer strictly to keep them;

24 who an order such (having received *N+kO) threw them into the inner prison and the feet fastened of them in the stocks.

25 Toward now midnight Paul and Silas praying they were singing praises to God; Were listening now to them the prisoners.

26 Suddenly then earthquake there was a great so that shaking the foundations of the prison house; were opened (then *N+kO) immediately the doors all, and of all the chains were loosed.

27 Awoken then having been the jailer and was seeing having opened the doors of the prison, having drawn [his] sword he was about himself to execute supposing to have escaped the prisoners.

28 Called out however in a loud voice Paul saying; Not may do to yourself harm; all for we are here.

29 Having called for now lights he rushed in and terrified having become he fell down before Paul and Silas,

30 And having brought them out he was saying; Sirs, what of me is necessary to do that I may be saved?

31 And they said; do believe on the Lord Jesus (Christ *K) and will be saved you yourself and the household of you.

32 And they spoke to him the word of the (Lord *NK+O) (along with *N+kO) all those in the house of him.

33 And having taken them in that [very] hour of the night he washed [them] from the wounds, and he was baptized he himself and the [household] of him (all *NK+o) immediately.

34 Having brought then them into the house (of him *ko) he laid a table [for them] and (rejoiced *NK+o) with all [his] household having believed in God.

35 When day then having come sent the magistrates the officers saying; do release the men those.

36 Reported then the jailer words these to Paul that Have sent the captains that you may be let go; Now therefore having gone out do depart in peace.

37 But Paul was saying to them; Having beaten us publicly uncondemned men Romans being, they cast [us] into prison, and now secretly us do they throw out? No indeed! Instead having come themselves us they should bring out.

38 (Reported *N+kO) then to the magistrates the officers declarations these; (and *k) They were afraid (then *no) having heard that Romans they are,

39 And having come they appealed to them and having brought [them] out they were asking [them] (to go out *N+kO) (of *no) the city.

40 Having gone forth then (out of *N+kO) the prison they came (to *N+kO) Lydia; and having seen [them] they exhorted the brothers (them *k) and departed.
