Acts 16:9-14

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.

¹³On the Sabbath day we went outside the city by a river, where prayer was customarily made, and sitting down we started speaking to the assembled women.

¹⁴A certain woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth from the city of Thyatira, who worshiped God, really listened, whose heart the Lord opened to give heed to the things spoken by Paul.
