Acts 16:1-10

¹And he came to Derbe and Lystra: and there was a certain disciple there named Timothy, whose mother was one of the Jews of the faith, but his father was a Greek;

²Of whom the brothers at Lystra and Iconium had a high opinion.

³Paul had a desire for him to go with him, and he gave him circumcision because of the Jews who were in those parts: for they all had knowledge that his father was a Greek.

⁴And on their way through the towns, they gave them the rules which had been made by the Apostles and the rulers of the church at Jerusalem, so that they might keep them.

⁵So the churches were made strong in the faith and were increased in number every day.

⁶And after they had gone through the land of Phrygia and Galatia, the Holy Spirit did not let them take the word into Asia;

⁷And having come to Mysia, they made an attempt to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not let them;

⁸And going past Mysia, they came down to Troas.

⁹And Paul had a vision in the night; a man of Macedonia came, requesting him, and saying, Come over into Macedonia and give us help.

¹⁰And when he had seen the vision, straight away we made the decision to go into Macedonia, for it seemed certain to us that God had sent us to give the good news to them.
