3Paul wanted to have him go on with him, so he took and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts, because they all knew that his father was a Greek.
4As they were going through the cities they were delivering the dogmas to them, to keep—the ones that had been determined by the apostles and the elders in Jerusalem.
5So the congregations kept on being strengthened in the faith, and were increasing in number daily.
6Now when they had gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia,
7they approached Mysia and tried to go to Bithynia, but the Spirit did not permit them.
8So they bypassed Mysia and went down to Troas.
9A vision appeared to Paul during the night: a man of Macedonia was standing, appealing to him and saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.”
10So when he saw the vision, we immediately prepared to go over to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to evangelize them.
11So setting sail from Troas, we ran a straight course to Samothrace, and the next day to Neapolis;
12and from there to Philippi, which is the foremost city of that part of Macedonia, a colony. We stayed some days in that city.
