Timothy Joins Paul and Silas

1 Then he came to aDerbe and Lystra. And behold, a certain disciple was there, bnamed Timothy, cthe son of a certain Jewish woman who believed, but his father was Greek.  
2 He was well spoken of by the brethren who were at Lystra and Iconium.
3 Paul wanted to have him go on with him. And he atook him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in that region, for they all knew that his father was Greek.  
4 And as they went through the cities, they delivered to them the adecrees to keep, bwhich were determined by the apostles and elders at Jerusalem.  
5 aSo the churches were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.  

The Macedonian Call

6 Now when they had gone through Phrygia and the region of aGalatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in1 Asia.  
7 After they had come to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit did not permit them.  
8 So passing by Mysia, they acame down to Troas.  
9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night. A aman of Macedonia stood and pleaded with him, saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.”  
10 Now after he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go ato Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them.  

Lydia Baptized at Philippi

11 Therefore, sailing from Troas, we ran a straight course to Samothrace, and the next day came to Neapolis,
12 and from there to aPhilippi, which is the foremost city of that part of Macedonia, a colony. And we were staying in that city for some days.  
13 And on the Sabbath day we went out of the city to the riverside, where prayer was customarily made; and we sat down and spoke to the women who met there.
14 Now a certain woman named Lydia heard us. She was a seller of purple from the city of aThyatira, who worshiped God. bThe Lord opened her heart to heed the things spoken by Paul.
