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;

Then came he to Derba and to Lystra. And beholde a certayne disciple was there named Timotheus a womans sonne which was a Iewas and beleved: but his father was a Greke.

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

Of whom reported well the brethren of Lystra and of 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 Paul wolde yt he shuld goo forth with him and toke and circumcised him because of the Iewes which were in those quarters: for they knewe all that his father was a Greke.

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.

As they went thorow ye cities they delyvered the the decrees for to kepe ordeyned of the Apostles and elders which were at Ierusalem.

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

And so were the congregacions stablisshed in the fayth and encreased in noumbre dayly.

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,

When they had goone thorow out Phrigia and the region of Galacia and were forbydde of the holy gost to preach the worde 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*)

they came to Misia and sought to goo into Bethinia. But the sprete soffered the not.

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

Then they went over Misia and cam doune to Troada.

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 appered to Paul in ye nyght. There stode a man of Macedonia and prayed him sayinge: come into Macedonia and helpe vs.

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.

After he had sene ye vision immediatly we prepared to goo into Macedonia certified yt the lorde had called vs for to preache the gospell vnto 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,

Then lowsed we forth from Troada and with a strayght course came to Samothracia and the nexte daye to Neapolim

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 to Philippos which is the chefest citie in ye partes of Macedonia and a fre cite. We were in that cite abydynge a certayne dayes.

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 saboth dayes we went out of the cite besydes a ryver where men were wont to praye and we sate doune and spake vnto the wemen which resorted thyther.

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 certayne woman named Lydia a seller of purple of the cite of Thiatira which worshipped God gave vs audience. Whose hert the Lorde opened that she attended vnto the thinges which Paul spake.

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.

When she was baptised and her housholde she besought vs sayinge: Yf ye thinke that I beleve on the Lorde come into my housse and abyde there. And she constrayned vs.

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 fortuned as we went to prayer a certayn damsell possessed with a sprete that prophesied met vs which brought her master and mastres moche vauntage with prophesyinge.

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 folowed Paul and vs and cryed sayinge: these men are the servauntes of the most hye God which shewe vnto vs the waye of salvacion.

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 dyd she many dayes. But Paul not cotent turned about and sayd to the sprete: I commaunde the in the name of Iesu Christ that thou come out of her. And he came out the same houre.

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 when her master and mastres sawe yt the hope of their gaynes was gone they caught Paul and Sylas and drue the into the market place vnto the rulars

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

and brought them to the officers sayinge: These men trouble oure cite which are Iewes

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

and preache ordinaunces which are not laufull for vs to receave nether to observe seinge we are Romayns.

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 people ranne on them and the officers rent their clothes and comaunded them to be beaten with roddes.

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 when they had beaten them sore they cast them into preson comaundynge the iayler to kepe them surely.

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.

Which iayler when he had receaved suche comaundment thrust them into the ynner preson and made their fete fast in the stockes.

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

At mydnyght Paul and Sylas prayed and lauded God. And the presoners hearde them.

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 sodenly ther was a greate erth quake so that ye fonndacion of the preson was shaken and by and by all the dores opened and every mannes bondes were lowsed.

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.

When the keper of ye preson waked out of his slepe and sawe the preson dores open he drue out his swearde and wolde have kylled him selfe supposynge the presoners had bene fledde.

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

But Paul cryed with a lowde voyce sayinge: Do thy selfe no harme for we are all heare.

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

Then he called for a lyght and sprange in and came tremblynge and fell doune before Paul and Sylas

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

and brought them out and sayde: Syrs what must I do to 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 sayde: beleve on the Lorde Iesus and thou shalt be saved and thy housholde.

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 preached vnto him the worde of the Lorde and to all that were in his housse.

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 he toke them the same houre of the nyght and wasshed their woundes and was baptised with all that belonged vnto him strayght waye.

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.

Whe he had brought them into his housse he set meate before them and ioyed that he with all his housholde boleved on God.

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

And when it was daye the officers sent the ministres sayinge: Let those men goo.

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.

The keper of ye preson tolde this sayinge to Paul the officiers have sent worde to lowse you. Now therfore get you hence and goo 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.

Then sayde Paul vnto them: they have beaten vs openly vncomdempned for all yt we are Romayns and have cast vs into preson: and now wolde they sende vs awaye prevely? Naye not so but let them come the selves and set vs 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,

When the ministres tolde these wordes vnto the officers they feared when they hearde that they were Romayns

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 brought them out and desyred them to departe out of the cite.

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 they wet out of ye preson and entred into the housse of Lidia and whe they had sene the brethren they comforted them and departed.
