Acts 16
1 And 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;
ⲁ̅ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲧⲕ⳿ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲃⲏⲛⲉⲙ ⲗⲩⲥⲧⲣⲁ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲓⲥ ⲟⲩⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁϥⲭⲏ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲧⲓⲙⲟⲑⲉⲟⲥ ⳿ⲡϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⳿ⲛⲓⲒⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲧⲏⲡⲉϥⲓⲱⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲉⲓⲛⲓⲛ ⲡⲉ.
2 Of whom the brothers at Lystra and Iconium had a high opinion.

3 Paul 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.
ⲅ̅ⲫⲁⲓ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲑⲣⲉϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥⲟⲗϥ ⲁϥⲥⲟⲩⲃⲏⲧϥ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲛⲓⲒⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲡ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲙⲁ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲁⲩⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉϥⲓⲱⲧ ⲟⲩⲟⲩⲉⲓⲛⲓⲛ ⲡⲉ.
4 And 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.
ⲇ̅ⲉⲩⲕⲱϯ ⲇⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲩϯ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲧⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲁⲣⲉϩ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓϩⲱⲛ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲥⲉⲙⲛⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϩⲓⲧⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲧϧⲉⲛ Ⲓⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅.
5 So the churches were made strong in the faith and were increased in number every day.

6 And after they had gone through the land of Phrygia and Galatia, the Holy Spirit did not let them take the word into Asia;
ⲋ̅ⲁⲩⲥⲓⲛⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ϯ⳿ⲫⲣⲓⲕⲓⲁ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯⲭⲱⲣⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲅⲁⲗⲁⲧⲓⲁ ⳿ⲉⲁϥⲧⲁϩⲛⲟ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲠⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⲉⲑⲟⲩⲁⲃ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲫϯ ϧⲉⲛ ϯ⳿ⲁⲥⲓⲁ.
7 And having come to Mysia, they made an attempt to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not let them;

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

9 And Paul had a vision in the night; a man of Macedonia came, requesting him, and saying, Come over into Macedonia and give us help.
ⲑ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲟⲩϩⲟⲣⲁⲙⲁ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲣϩ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲱⲛ ⲉϥ⳿ⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ⲉϥⲧⲱⲃϩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲑⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⳿ⲁⲣⲓⲃⲟ⳿ⲏⲑⲓⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲛ.
10 And 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.
ⲓ̅ϩⲱⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲀⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓϩⲟⲣⲁⲙⲁ ⲥⲁⲧⲟⲧⲉⲛ ⲁⲛⲕⲱϯ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲑⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⲉⲛⲥⲟϭⲛⲓ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁ Ⲫϯ ⲑⲁϩⲙⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉϩⲓϣⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ.
11 So, from Troas we went straight by ship to Samothrace and the day after to Neapolis;

12 And from there to Philippi, which is the most important town of Macedonia and a Roman colony: and we were there for some days.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁⲛ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲫⲓⲗⲓⲡⲡⲟⲓⲥ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲥ ⲧⲉ ϯϩⲟⲩⲓϯ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲧⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲑⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⲟⲩⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⳿ⲛⲕⲟⲗⲱⲛⲓⲁ ⲛⲁⲛϣⲟⲡ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ.
13 And on the Sabbath we went outside the town, by the river, where we had an idea that there would be a place of prayer; and, being seated, we had talk with the women who had come together.

14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a trader in purple cloth of the town of Thyatira, and a God-fearing woman, gave ear to us: whose heart the Lord made open to give attention to the things which Paul was saying.

15 And when she and her family had had baptism, she made a request to us, saying, If it seems to you that I am true to the Lord, come into my house and be my guests. And she made us come.

16 And when we were going to the place of prayer, we came across a girl with a spirit which gave knowledge of the future, whose masters made great profit from her power.

17 She came after Paul and us, crying out and saying, These men are the servants of the Most High God, who are giving you news of the way of salvation.

18 And this she did on a number of days. But Paul was greatly troubled and, turning, said to the spirit, I give you orders in the name of Jesus Christ, to come out of her. And it came out that very hour.

19 But when her masters saw that their hope of profit was gone, they took Paul and Silas, pulling them into the market-place before the rulers;
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲥϭⲓⲥⲉⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⳿ⲧϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲟⲩϩⲱⲃ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲁⲙⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲥⲓⲗⲁⲥ ⲁⲩⲱϣϯ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲉϯ⳿ⲁⲅⲟⲣⲁ ϣⲁ ⲛⲓⲁⲣⲭⲱⲛ.
20 And when they had taken them before the authorities, they said, These men, who are Jews, are greatly troubling our town;

22 And the people made an attack on them all together: and the authorities took their clothing off them, and gave orders for them to be whipped.

23 And when they had given them a great number of blows, they put them in prison, giving orders to the keeper of the prison to keep them safely:

24 And he, having such orders, put them into the inner prison with chains on their feet.

25 But about the middle of the night, Paul and Silas were making prayers and songs to God in the hearing of the prisoners;

26 And suddenly there was an earth-shock, so that the base of the prison was moved: and all the doors came open, and everyone's chains came off.

27 And the keeper, coming out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, took his sword and was about to put himself to death, fearing that the prisoners had got away.

38 And the police gave an account of these words to the authorities, and they were full of fear on hearing that they were Romans;
