Acts 16:3-12

CLV(i) 3 This one Paul wants to come out with him, and, taking him, circumcised him because of the Jews who are in those places, for they all were aware that his father belonged to the Greeks." 4 Now, as they went through the cities, they give over to them the decrees to maintain, which have been decided upon by the apostles and elders who are in Jerusalem." 5 The ecclesias, indeed, then, were stable in the faith and superabounded in number day by day." 6 Now they passed through Phrygia and the Galatian province, being forbidden by the holy spirit to speak the word in the province of Asia." 7 Yet, coming about Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, and the spirit of Jesus does not let them." 8 Yet they, passing by Mysia, descended into Troas." 9 And during the night a vision was seen by Paul. A certain man, a Macedonian, was standing and entreating him, and saying, "Cross over into Macedonia! Help us!" 10 Now as he perceived the vision, we immediately seek to come out to Macedonia, deducing that God has called us to bring the evangel to them." 11 Now, setting out from Troas, we run straight to Samothrace, yet the ensuing day to Neapolis, 12 and thence to Philippi, which is the foremost city of that part of Macedonia, a colony."
