Acts 16:3-12 Paul wanted this man to go with him, so he took him and had him circumcised because of the Jews who lived in that region, since everyone knew that Timothy’s father was a Greek.

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ Paul wanted this man to go with him, so he took him and had him circumcised because of the Jews who lived in that region, since everyone knew that Timothy’s father was a Greek. ⁴ As they went from town to town, they delivered the decisions reached by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem for them to obey. ⁵ So the churches continued to be strengthened in the faith and to increase in numbers every day.
⁶ Paul Has a VisionBecause they had been prevented by the Holy Spirit from speaking the word in Asia, Paul and Timothy went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia. ⁷ They went as far as Mysia and tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not permit them, ⁸ so they bypassed Mysia and went down to Troas. ⁹ During the night Paul had a vision. A man from Macedonia was standing there and pleading with him, “Come over to Macedonia and help us!” ¹⁰ As soon as he had seen the vision, we immediately looked for a way to go to Macedonia, because we were convinced that God had called us to tell the people there the good news.
¹¹ Paul and Silas in PhilippiSailing from Troas, we went straight to Samothrace, the next day to Neapolis, ¹² and from there to Philippi, an important city of the district of Macedonia and a Roman colony. We were in this city for several days.
