Acts 16

1 He came then (both *no*) to Derbe and (to *no*) Lystra. And behold a disciple certain was there, named Timothy, [the] son of a woman (certain *k*) Jewish believing, father however a Greek;

And he came even unto Derbe, and unto Lystra; and lo! a certain disciple, was there, by name Timothy, son of a believing Jewish woman, but whose father was a Greek, —

2 who was well spoken of by the in Lystra and Iconium brothers.

who was well-attested by the brethren in Lystra, and Iconium.

3 This one wanted Paul with him to go forth, and having taken he circumcised him on account of the Jews those being in the parts those; they knew for all that a Greek (the father *N(k)O*) of him was.

The same, would Paul have go forth with him, and took and circumcised him, on account of the Jews who were in those places; for they one and all knew that, his father, was, a Greek.

4 While then they were passing through the cities, they were delivering to them to keep the decrees which [were] decided on by the apostles and (of the *k*) elders who [were] in Jerusalem.

And, as they passed through the cities, they were delivering unto them, for observance, the decrees which had been decided upon by the Apostles and Elders who were in Jerusalem.

5 The indeed therefore churches were strengthened in the faith and were increasing in number every day.

The assemblies, therefore, were being confirmed in the faith, and increasing in number, every day.

6 (they passed through *N(k)O*) then Phrygia and (the *k*) Galatian region having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia,

And they passed through the Phrygian and Galatian country, being forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia;

7 having come (then *no*) down to Mysia they were attempting (into *N(k)O*) Bithynia (to go, *N(k)O*) and not did allow them the Spirit (of Jesus. *NO*)

but, coming along Mysia, they were attempting to journey into Bithynia, —and, the Spirit of Jesus, suffered them not;

8 having passed by then Mysia they came down to Troas.

but, passing by Mysia, they came down unto Troas.

9 And a vision during the night to Paul appeared: A man of Macedonia certain was already standing (and *no*) beseeching him and saying; Having passed over into Macedonia do help us.

And, a vision, by night, unto Paul appeared: —A man of Macedonia, there was, standing and beseeching him, and saying—Come over into Macedonia, and bring us succour!

10 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.

Now, when, the vision, he had seen, straightway, we sought to go forth unto Macedonia, concluding that God, had summoned us to tell the glad tidings unto them.

11 Having sailed (then *N(K)O*) from (*k*) Troas we made a straight course to Samothrace, (and *N(k)O*) the following day to Nea Polis,

Setting sail, therefore, from Troas, we ran straight into Samothracia, and, on the morrow, unto New City,

12 (and from there and from there *N(k)O*) to Philippi, which is ([the] leading [city] *N(k)O*) (of the *ko*) district (*NK*) of Macedonia [the] city, [and Roman] colony. We were now in (this *NK(o)*) city staying days some.

and, from thence, unto Philippi, —which, indeed, is the first city of the part of Macedonia—a colony. And we were, in this city, spending certain days;

13 On the then day of the Sabbaths we went forth outside the (gate *N(K)O*) by a river where (we were accustomed *N(K)O*) (prayer *N(k)O*) to have, And having sat down we were speaking to those having gathered women.

and on the day of rest, we went forth outside the gate, beside a river, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, —and, sitting down, we went on to speak unto the women who had come together.

14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple of [the] city of Thyatira worshiping God, was listening of whom the Lord opened the heart to attend to the [things] being spoken by Paul.

And, a certain woman, by name Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, devout towards God, was hearkening, whose heart, the Lord, fully opened, to be giving heed unto the things being spoken by Paul.

15 When then she was baptized and the house of her, she begged saying; If you have judged me faithful to the Lord to be, having entered into the house of mine (do remain; *N(k)O*) And she persuaded us.

And, when she was immersed, and her house, she besought [us], saying—If ye have judged me to be a believer in the Lord, come into my house, and abide [there]. And she constrained us.

16 It happened now going of us to (the *no*) [place of] prayer, a girl certain having a spirit (Python meeting by *N(k)O*) us, who gain much was bringing the masters of her by fortune-telling.

And it came to pass, as we were on our way unto the place of prayer, a certain damsel, having a spirit of Python, met us, —who, indeed, much gain, was presenting unto her masters, by divining.

17 She (having followed *N(k)O*) after Paul and us was crying out saying; These men servants of the God Most High are, who proclaim (to you *N(K)O*) [the] way of salvation.

The same, following after Paul and us, kept crying aloud, saying—These men, are servants of the Most High God, —who, indeed, are declaring unto you a way of salvation.

18 This then she was continuing for many days. Having been distressed then (*k*) Paul and having turned to the spirit he said; I command you in (the *k*) name of Jesus Christ to come out from her. And it came out on [the] same hour.

And, this, she continued to do for many days. But Paul, worn out, and turning unto the spirit, said—I charge thee, in the name of Jesus Christ, to come out from her. And it came out the same hour.

19 Having seen now the masters of her that was gone the hope of the profit of them, having taken hold of Paul and Silas they dragged [them] into the marketplace before the rulers,

And, her masters, seeing that their hope of gain had gone out, laying hold on Paul and Silas, dragged them into the market-place, unto the rulers;

20 and having brought up them to the magistrates they said; These men exceedingly trouble of us the city Jews being;

and, leading them forward unto the magistrates, said—These men, are exceedingly troubling our city, they, being Jews,

21 and preach customs that not it is lawful for us to accept nor to practice Romans being.

And are declaring customs, which it is not allowable for us either to accept or to observe, being Romans.

22 And rose up together the crowd against them, and the magistrates having torn off of them the garments were commanding to beat with rods;

And the multitude rose up together against them, and, the magistrates, rending off them their mantles, were giving orders to beat them with rods;

23 Many (then *NK(o)*) having laid on them blows they cast [them] into prison having charged the to jailer strictly to keep them;

and, laying upon them many stripes, they thrust them into prison, charging the prison-keeper, safely, to be keeping them:

24 who an order such (having received *N(k)O*) threw them into the inner prison and the feet fastened of them in the stocks.

who, a charge like this receiving, thrust them into the inner prison, and, their feet, made he fast in the stocks.

25 Toward now midnight Paul and Silas praying they were singing praises to God; Were listening now to them the prisoners.

And, at midnight, Paul and Silas, being at prayer, began singing praise unto God; and the prisoners unto them, did hearken.

26 Suddenly then earthquake there was a great so that shaking the foundations of the prison house; were opened (then *N(k)O*) immediately the doors all, and of all the chains were loosed.

And, suddenly, a great earthquake took place, —so that the foundations of the prison were shaken, and all the doors were [instantly] set open, and the bonds of all were unfastened.

27 Awoken then having been the jailer and was seeing having opened the doors of the prison, having drawn (*no*) [his] sword he was about himself to execute supposing to have escaped the prisoners.

And, the prison-keeper, being wakened and seeing that the doors of the prison had been opened, drawing his sword, was about to kill himself, supposing the prisoners to have fled.

28 Called out however in a loud voice Paul saying; Not may do to yourself harm; all for we are here.

But Paul called out with a loud voice, saying—By no means, do thyself harm, for we are, one and all, here.

29 Having called for now lights he rushed in and terrified having become he fell down before Paul and Silas,

And, asking for a light, he sprang in, and becoming, agitated, fell down unto Paul and Silas,

30 And having brought them out he was saying; Sirs, what of me is necessary to do that I may be saved?

and, leading them forth outside, said—Sirs! what must I be doing, that I may be saved?

31 And they said; do believe on the Lord Jesus (Christ *K*) and will be saved you yourself and the household of you.

And, they, said—Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, thou, and thy house.

32 And they spoke to him the word of the (Lord *NK(O)*) (along with *N(k)O*) all those in the house of him.

And they spake unto him the word of God, with all who were in his house.

33 And having taken them in that [very] hour of the night he washed [them] from the wounds, and he was baptized he himself and the [household] of him (all *NK(o)*) immediately.

And, taking them with him, in that hour of the night, he bathed them from their stripes, and was immersed, he, and his, one and all, on the spot;

34 Having brought then them into the house (of him *ko*) he laid a table [for them] and (rejoiced *NK(o)*) with all [his] household having believed in God.

and, leading them up into his house, he set near a table, —and exulted, having, with all his house, believed in God.

35 When day then having come sent the magistrates the officers saying; do release the men those.

And. when day came. the magistrates sent off the constables saying—Let those men go!

36 Reported then the jailer words these to Paul that Have sent the captains that you may be let go; Now therefore having gone out do depart in peace.

And the prison-keeper reported the words unto Paul—The magistrates have sent, that ye be let go. Now, therefore, going forth, be taking your journey in peace.

37 But Paul was saying to them; Having beaten us publicly uncondemned men Romans being, they cast [us] into prison, and now secretly us do they throw out? No indeed! Instead having come themselves us they should bring out.

But, Paul, said unto them—Beating us, in public, uncondemned, men that are Romans, they thrust us into prison; —and, now, by stealth, are they thrusting us forth? Nay, verily! but let them come, themselves, and lead us out!

38 (Reported *N(k)O*) then to the magistrates the officers declarations these; (and *k*) They were afraid (then *no*) having heard that Romans they are,

And the constables reported unto the magistrates these words; and they were struck with fear, when they heard that they were, Romans;

39 And having come they appealed to them and having brought [them] out they were asking [them] (to go out *N(k)O*) (of *no*) the city.

and came, and besought them, and, leading them out, went on to request them to depart from the city.

40 Having gone forth then (out of *N(k)O*) the prison they came (to *N(k)O*) Lydia; and having seen [them] they exhorted the brothers (them *k*) and departed.

And so, coming forth from the prison, they went unto Lydia, and, seeing the brethren, they comforted them, and went forth.
