Deeds (Act) of Apostles 16:8-18

⁸But when they had passed by Mysia, they came down to Troas;

⁹and a vision by night or in night, was showed to Paul. But a man or Some man of Macedonia that stood, prayed him, and said, Go thou into Macedonia, and help us.

¹⁰And as he had seen the vision, anon we sought to go forth into Macedonia, and were made certain, that God had called us to preach or to evangelize to them.

¹¹And we went by ship from Troas, and came to Samothracia with straight course; and the day pursuing to Neapolis;

¹²and from thence to Philippi, that is the first part of Macedonia, the city colony. And we were in this city some days, and spake together.

¹³And in the day of sabbaths we went forth without the gate beside the flood, where prayer seemed to be or was seen to be; and we sat, and spake to women that came together.

¹⁴And a woman, Lydia by name, a purpless of the city of Thyatira, worshipping God, heard; whose heart the Lord opened to give attention to these things, that were said of Paul.

¹⁵And when she was baptized and her house, she prayed, and said, If ye have deemed that I am faithful to the Lord, enter ye into mine house, and dwell. And she constrained us.

¹⁶And it was done, when we went to prayer, that a damsel or a wench that had a spirit of divination, met us, which gave great winning to her lords in divining.

¹⁷This pursued Paul and us, and cried, and said, These men be servants of the high God, that tell to you the way of health.

¹⁸And this she did in many days. And Paul sorrowed, and turned, and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ, that thou go out of her. And he went out in the same hour.
