13On the next Saturday we went outside the town to a place near the river. We thought we might see some Jewish people meeting there to pray. Some women were there, and we sat down and talked with them.
14One woman was from the town called Thyatira, and her name was Lydia. She was a woman that respected God. Her job was to sell purple cloth. She listened carefully to the things Paul talked about, and Jesus helped her to believe in him.
15Then we baptised Lydia and her family. After that Lydia asked us to come and stay at her house. She said, “You mob know that I really believe now in Jesus, our leader, so please come and stay at my place.” She kept asking us until we agreed, so we stayed at her place.
