10 And when he saw the vision, immediately we endeavored to go forth to Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the LORD has called us to preach good news to them,

When now the vision he had seen, immediately we sought to go forth to (*k*) Macedonia concluding that he has called us (God *N(K)O*) to evangelise to them.
