Acts 16:6-12

The Macedonian Vision

6 And they passed through the ¹^aPhrygian and ^bGalatian region, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in ²^cAsia; 7 and after they came to ^aMysia, they were trying to go into ^bBithynia, and the ^cSpirit of Jesus did not permit them; 8 and passing by ^aMysia, they came down to ^bTroas. 9 ^aAnd a vision appeared to Paul in the night: a man of ^bMacedonia was standing and appealing to him, and saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.” 10 And when he had seen ^athe vision, immediately ^bwe sought to ¹go into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to ^cproclaim the gospel to them.

Lydia’s Conversion in Philippi

11 So setting sail from ^aTroas, we ran ^ba straight course to Samothrace, and on the day following to Neapolis; 12 and from there to ^aPhilippi, which is a leading city of the district of ^bMacedonia, ^ca Roman colony; and we were staying in this city for some days.
