Acts 16

1 Paul having circumcised Timothy, 7 and being called by the Spirit from one country to another, 14 converteth Lydia, 16 casteth out a spirit of divination. 19 For which cause he and Silas are whipped and imprisoned. 26 The prison doors are opened. 31 The jailer is converted, 37 and they are delivered.

 16:1 ¶ Then 1161 came x2658 he y2658 z5656 to 1519 Derbe 1191 and 2532 Lystra: 3082 and, 2532 behold, 2400 z5628 a certain 5100 disciple 3101 was 2258 z5713 there, 1563 named 3686 Timotheus, 5095 the son 5207 of a certain 5100 woman, 1135 which was a Jewess, 2453 and believed; 4103 but 1161 his father y3962 x2962 [was] a Greek: 1672

 16:2 Which 3739 was well reported y3140 z5712 of x3140 by 5259 the x3588 brethren 80 that were at 1722 Lystra 3082 and 2532 Iconium. 2430

 16:3 Him 5126 would 2309 z5656 Paul 3972 have to go forth 1831 z5629 with 4862 him; 846 and 2532 took 2983 z5631 and circumcised 4059 z5627 him 846 because y1223 of x1223 the x3588 Jews 2453 which y3588 were 5607 z5752 in 1722 those 1565 quarters: 5117 for 1063 they knew 1492 z5715 all 537 that 3754 his y846 x848 father 3962 was 5225 z5707 a Greek. 1672

 16:4 And 1161 as 5613 they went through 1279 z5711 the x3588 cities, 4172 they delivered 3860 z5707 them 846 the x3588 decrees 1378 for to keep, 5442 z5721 that were ordained 2919 z5772 of 5259 the x3588 apostles 652 and 2532 elders 4245 which 3588 were at 1722 Jerusalem. 2419

 16:5 And x3767 so 3303 y3767 were y4732 z0 the x3588 churches 1577 established 4732 z5712 in the x3588 faith, 4102 and 2532 increased 4052 z5707 in number 706 daily. 2250 2596

 16:6 Now 1161 when they had gone throughout 1330 z5631 Phrygia 5435 and 2532 the x3588 region 5561 of Galatia, 1054 and were forbidden 2967 z5685 of 5259 the x3588 Holy 40 Ghost 4151 to preach 2980 z5658 the x3588 word 3056 in 1722 Asia, 773

 16:7 After they were come 2064 z5631 to 2596 Mysia, 3465 they assayed 3985 z5707 to go 4198 z5738 into 2596 Bithynia: 978 but 2532 the x3588 Spirit 4151 suffered 1439 z5656 them 846 not. 3756

 16:8 And 1161 they passing by 3928 z5631 Mysia 3465 came down 2597 z5627 to 1519 Troas. 5174

 16:9 And 2532 a vision 3705 appeared 3700 z5681 to Paul 3972 in 1223 the x3588 night; 3571 There stood 2258 2476 z5713 z5761 a man 435 y5100 of Macedonia, 3110 and x2532 prayed 3870 z5723 him, 846 y2532 saying, 3004 z5723 Come over 1224 z5631 into 1519 Macedonia, 3109 and help 997 z5657 us. 2254

 16:10 And 1161 after 5613 he had seen 1492 z5627 the x3588 vision, 3705 immediately 2112 we endeavoured 2212 z5656 to go 1831 z5629 into 1519 Macedonia, 3109 assuredly gathering 4822 z5723 that 3754 the x3588 Lord 2962 had called 4341 z5766 us 2248 for to preach the gospel 2097 z5670 unto them. 846

 16:11 Therefore 3767 loosing 321 z5685 from 575 Troas, 5174 we came with a straight course 2113 z5656 to 1519 Samothracia, 4543 and 5037 the x3588 next 1966 z5752 [day] to 1519 Neapolis; 3496

 16:12 And 5037 from thence 1564 to 1519 Philippi, 5375 which 3748 is 2076 z5748 the chief 4413 city 4172 of that part 3310 of Macedonia, 3109 [and] a colony: 2862 and 1161 we were 2258 z5713 in 1722 that 5026 city 4172 abiding 1304 z5723 certain 5100 days. 2250

 16:13 And 5037 on x2250 the x3588 sabbath 4521 y2250 we went 1831 z5627 out x1854 of y1854 the x3588 city 4172 by 3844 a river side, 4215 where 3757 prayer 4335 was wont 3543 z5712 to be made; 1511 z5750 and 2532 we sat down, 2523 z5660 and spake 2980 z5707 unto the x3588 women 1135 which resorted 4905 z5631 [thither].

 16:14 ¶ And 2532 a certain 5100 woman 1135 named 3686 Lydia, 3070 a seller of purple, 4211 of the city 4172 of Thyatira, 2363 which worshipped 4576 z5740 God, 2316 heard 191 z5707 [us]: whose 3739 heart 2588 the x3588 Lord 2962 opened, 1272 z5656 that she attended 4337 z5721 unto the things which were spoken 2980 z5746 of 5259 Paul. 3972

 16:15 And 1161 when 5613 she was baptized, 907 z5681 and 2532 her y846 x848 household, 3624 she besought 3870 z5656 [us], saying, 3004 z5723 If 1487 ye have judged 2919 z5758 me 3165 to be 1511 z5750 faithful 4103 to the x3588 Lord, 2962 come 1525 z5631 into 1519 my 3450 house, 3624 and abide 3306 z5657 [there]. And 2532 she constrained 3849 z5662 us. 2248

 16:16 ¶ And 1161 it came to pass, 1096 z5633 as we 2257 went 4198 z5740 to 1519 prayer, 4335 a certain 5100 damsel 3814 possessed 2192 z5723 with a spirit 4151 of divination 4436 met 528 z5658 us, 2254 which 3748 brought 3930 z5707 her y846 x848 masters 2962 much 4183 gain 2039 by soothsaying: 3132 z5740

 16:17 The same 3778 followed 2628 z5660 Paul 3972 and 2532 us, 2254 and cried, 2896 z5707 saying, 3004 z5723 These 3778 men 444 are 1526 z5748 the servants 1401 of the x3588 most high 5310 God, 2316 which 3748 shew 2605 z5719 unto us 2254 the way 3598 of salvation. 4991

 16:18 And 1161 this 5124 did x4160 she 1909 y4160 z5707 many 4183 days. 2250 But 1161 Paul, 3972 being grieved, 1278 z5666 turned 1994 z5660 and 2532 said 2036 z5627 to the x3588 spirit, 4151 I command 3853 z5719 thee 4671 in 1722 the x3588 name 3686 of Jesus 2424 Christ 5547 to come 1831 z5629 out of 575 her. 846 And 2532 he came out 1831 z5627 the x3588 same 846 hour. 5610

 16:19 ¶ And 1161 when her y846 x848 masters 2962 saw 1492 z5631 that 3754 the x3588 hope 1680 of their y846 x848 gains 2039 was gone, 1831 z5627 they caught 1949 z5637 Paul 3972 and 2532 Silas, 4609 and drew 1670 z5656 [them] into 1519 the x3588 marketplace 58 unto 1909 the x3588 rulers, 758

 16:20 And 2532 brought 4317 z5631 them 846 to the x3588 magistrates, 4755 saying, 2036 z5627 These 3778 men, 444 being 5225 z5723 Jews, 2453 do exceedingly trouble 1613 z5719 our 2257 city, 4172

 16:21 And 2532 teach 2605 z5719 customs, 1485 which 3739 are y1832 z0 not y3756 lawful 1832 z5748 x3756 for us 2254 to receive, 3858 z5738 neither 3761 to observe, 4160 z5721 being 5607 z5752 Romans. 4514

 16:22 And 2532 the x3588 multitude 3793 rose up together 4911 z5627 against 2596 them: 846 and 2532 the x3588 magistrates 4755 rent off 4048 z5660 their 846 clothes, 2440 and commanded 2753 z5707 to beat 4463 z5721 [them].

 16:23 And 5037 when they had laid 2007 z5631 many 4183 stripes 4127 upon them, 846 they cast 906 z5627 [them] into 1519 prison, 5438 charging 3853 z5660 the x3588 jailor 1200 to keep 5083 z5721 them 846 safely: 806

 16:24 Who, 3739 having received 2983 z5761 such 5108 a charge, 3852 thrust 906 z5627 them 846 into 1519 the x3588 inner 2082 prison, 5438 and 2532 made y805 z0 their y846 feet y4228 fast 805 z5662 x846 x4228 in 1519 the x3599 stocks. 3586

 16:25 ¶ And 1161 at 2596 midnight 3317 Paul 3972 and 2532 Silas 4609 prayed, 4336 z5740 and x2532 sang praises 5214 z5707 unto God: 2316 and 1161 the x3588 prisoners 1198 heard 1874 z5711 them. 846

 16:26 And 1161 suddenly 869 there was 1096 z5633 a great 3173 earthquake, 4578 so that 5620 the x3588 foundations 2310 of the x3588 prison 1201 were shaken: 4531 z5683 and 5037 immediately 3916 all 3956 the x3588 doors 2374 were opened, 455 z5681 and 2532 every one's 3956 bands y1199 x1191 were loosed. 447 z5681

 16:27 And 1161 the x3588 keeper of the prison 1200 awaking y1096 z5637 out of his sleep, 1853 x1096 and 2532 seeing 1492 z5631 the x3588 prison 5438 doors 2374 open, 455 z5772 he drew out 4685 z5671 his sword, 3162 and would 3195 z5707 have killed 337 z5721 himself, 1438 supposing 3543 z5723 that the x3588 prisoners 1198 had been fled. 1628 z5755

 16:28 But 1161 Paul 3972 cried 5455 z5656 with a loud 3173 voice, 5456 saying, 3004 z5723 Do 4238 z5661 thyself 4572 no 3367 harm: 2556 for 1063 we are 2070 z5748 all 537 here. 1759

 16:29 Then 1161 he called 154 z5660 for a light, 5457 and sprang in, 1530 z5656 and 2532 came 1096 z5637 trembling, 1790 and fell down before 4363 z5627 Paul 3972 and 2532 Silas, 4609

 16:30 And 2532 brought 4254 z5631 them 846 out, 1854 and said, 5346 z5713 Sirs, 2962 what 5101 must 1163 z5748 I 3165 do 4160 z5721 to 2443 be saved? 4982 z5686

 16:31 And 1161 they x3588 said, 2036 z5627 Believe 4100 z5657 on 1909 the x3588 Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ, 5547 and 2532 thou 4771 shalt be saved, 4982 z5701 and 2532 thy 4675 house. 3624

 16:32 And 2532 they spake 2980 z5656 unto him 846 the x3588 word 3056 of the x3588 Lord, 2962 and 2532 to all 3956 that x3588 were in 1722 his y846 x848 house. 3614

 16:33 And 2532 he took 3880 z5631 them 846 y1722 the x3588 same 1565 hour 5610 of the x3588 night, 3571 and washed 3068 z5656 [their] x575 stripes; 4127 y575 and 2532 was baptized, 907 z5681 he 846 and 2532 all 3956 his, 846 straightway. 3916

 16:34 And 5037 when he had brought 321 z5631 them 846 into 1519 his x848 house, 3624 he set y3908 z0 meat y5132 before x3908 x5132 them, y3908 z5656 and 2532 rejoiced, 21 z5662 believing 4100 z5761 in God 2316 with all y3832 z0 his y846 house. 3832

 16:35 And 1161 when it was 1096 z5637 day, 2250 the x3588 magistrates 4755 sent 649 z5656 the x3588 serjeants, 4465 saying, 3004 z5723 Let y630 z0 those y1565 men y444 go. 630 z5657 x1565 x444

 16:36 And 1161 the x3588 keeper of the prison 1200 told 518 z5656 this 5128 saying 3056 to 4314 Paul, 3972 y3754 The x3588 magistrates 4755 have sent 649 z5758 to 2443 let you go: 630 z5686 now 3568 therefore 3767 depart, y1831 z5631 x4196 and go y4198 z5737 x1831 in 1722 peace. 1515

 16:37 But 1161 Paul 3972 said 5346 z5713 unto 4314 them, 846 They have beaten 1194 z5660 us 2248 openly 1219 uncondemned, 178 being 5225 z5723 Romans, 4514 y444 and x444 have cast 906 z5627 [us] into 1519 prison; 5438 and 2532 now 3568 do they thrust y1544 z0 us y2248 out 1544 z5719 x2248 privily? 2977 nay 3756 verily; 1063 but 235 let them come 2064 z5631 themselves y846 x848 and fetch y1806 z0 us y2248 out. 1806 z5628 x2248

 16:38 And 1161 the x3588 serjeants 4465 told 312 z5656 these 5023 words 4487 unto the x3588 magistrates: 4755 and 2532 they feared, 5399 z5675 when they heard 191 z5660 that 3754 they were 1526 z5748 Romans. 4514

 16:39 And 2532 they came 2064 z5631 and besought 3870 z5656 them, 846 and 2532 brought [them] out, 1806 z5631 and desired 2065 z5707 [them] to depart out 1831 z5629 of the x3588 city. 4172

 16:40 And 1161 they went 1831 z5631 out of 1537 the x3588 prison, 5438 and entered 1525 z5627 into 1519 [the house of] Lydia: 3070 and 2532 when they had seen 1492 z5631 the x3588 brethren, 80 they comforted 3870 z5656 them, 846 and 2532 departed. 1831 z5627
