Acts Chapter 16 - King James Strong Number Version
- 1
- Then <G1161> came he <G2658> <G5656> to <G1519> Derbe <G1191> and <G2532> Lystra <G3082>: and <G2532>, behold <G2400> <G5628>, a certain <G5100> disciple <G3101> was <G2258> <G5713> there <G1563>, named <G3686> Timotheus <G5095>, the son <G5207> of a certain <G5100> woman <G1135>, which was a Jewess <G2453>, and believed <G4103>; but <G1161> his father <G3962> [was] a Greek <G1672>:
- 2
- Which <G3739> was well reported <G3140> <G5712> of by <G5259> the brethren <G0080> that were at <G1722> Lystra <G3082> and <G2532> Iconium <G2430>.
- 3
- Him <G5126> would <G2309> <G5656> Paul <G3972> have to go forth <G1831> <G5629> with <G4862> him <G0848>; and <G2532> took <G2983> <G5631> and circumcised <G4059> <G5627> him <G0846> because <G1223> of the Jews <G2453> which <G3588> were <G5607> <G5752> in <G1722> those <G1565> quarters <G5117>: for <G1063> they knew <G1492> <G5715> all <G0537> that <G3754> his <G0846> father <G3962> was <G5225> <G5707> a Greek <G1672>.
- 4
- And <G1161> as <G5613> they went through <G1279> <G5711> the cities <G4172>, they delivered <G3860> <G5707> them <G0846> the decrees <G1378> for to keep <G5442> <G5721>, that were ordained <G2919> <G5772> of <G5259> the apostles <G0652> and <G2532> elders <G4245> which <G3588> were at <G1722> Jerusalem <G2419>.
- 5
- And so <G3303> <G3767> were <G4732> <G0000> the churches <G1577> established <G4732> <G5712> in the faith <G4102>, and <G2532> increased <G4052> <G5707> in number <G0706> daily <G2250> <G2596>.
- 6
- Now <G1161> when they had gone throughout <G1330> <G5631> Phrygia <G5435> and <G2532> the region <G5561> of Galatia <G1054>, and were forbidden <G2967> <G5685> of <G5259> the Holy <G0040> Ghost <G4151> to preach <G2980> <G5658> the word <G3056> in <G1722> Asia <G0773>,
- 7
- After they were come <G2064> <G5631> to <G2596> Mysia <G3465>, they assayed <G3985> <G5707> to go <G4198> <G5738> into <G2596> Bithynia <G0978>: but <G2532> the Spirit <G4151> suffered <G1439> <G5656> them <G0846> not <G3756>.
- 8
- And <G1161> they passing by <G3928> <G5631> Mysia <G3465> came down <G2597> <G5627> to <G1519> Troas <G5174>.
- 9
- And <G2532> a vision <G3705> appeared <G3700> <G5681> to Paul <G3972> in <G1223> the night <G3571>; There stood <G2258> <G5713> <G2476> <G5761> a man <G5100> <G0435> of Macedonia <G3110>, and prayed <G3870> <G5723> him <G0846>, <G2532> saying <G3004> <G5723>, Come over <G1224> <G5631> into <G1519> Macedonia <G3109>, and help <G0997> <G5657> us <G2254>.
- 10
- And <G1161> after <G5613> he had seen <G1492> <G5627> the vision <G3705>, immediately <G2112> we endeavoured <G2212> <G5656> to go <G1831> <G5629> into <G1519> Macedonia <G3109>, assuredly gathering <G4822> <G5723> that <G3754> the Lord <G2962> had called <G4341> <G5766> us <G2248> for to preach the gospel <G2097> <G5670> unto them <G0846>.
- 11
- Therefore <G3767> loosing <G0321> <G5685> from <G0575> Troas <G5174>, we came with a straight course <G2113> <G5656> to <G1519> Samothracia <G4543>, and <G5037> the next <G1966> <G5752> [day] to <G1519> Neapolis <G3496>;
- 12
- And <G5037> from thence <G1564> to <G1519> Philippi <G5375>, which <G3748> is <G2076> <G5748> the chief <G4413> city <G4172> of that part <G3310> of Macedonia <G3109>, [and] a colony <G2862>: and <G1161> we were <G2258> <G5713> in <G1722> that <G5026> city <G4172> abiding <G1304> <G5723> certain <G5100> days <G2250>.
- 13
- And <G5037> on the sabbath <G4521> <G2250> we went <G1831> <G5627> out of <G1854> the city <G4172> by <G3844> a river side <G4215>, where <G3757> prayer <G4335> was wont <G3543> <G5712> to be made <G1511> <G5750>; and <G2532> we sat down <G2523> <G5660>, and spake <G2980> <G5707> unto the women <G1135> which resorted <G4905> <G5631> [thither].
- 14
- And <G2532> a certain <G5100> woman <G1135> named <G3686> Lydia <G3070>, a seller of purple <G4211>, of the city <G4172> of Thyatira <G2363>, which worshipped <G4576> <G5740> God <G2316>, heard <G0191> <G5707> [us]: whose <G3739> heart <G2588> the Lord <G2962> opened <G1272> <G5656>, that she attended <G4337> <G5721> unto the things which were spoken <G2980> <G5746> of <G5259> Paul <G3972>.
- 15
- And <G1161> when <G5613> she was baptized <G0907> <G5681>, and <G2532> her <G0846> household <G3624>, she besought <G3870> <G5656> [us], saying <G3004> <G5723>, If <G1487> ye have judged <G2919> <G5758> me <G3165> to be <G1511> <G5750> faithful <G4103> to the Lord <G2962>, come <G1525> <G5631> into <G1519> my <G3450> house <G3624>, and abide <G3306> <G5657> [there]. And <G2532> she constrained <G3849> <G5662> us <G2248>.
- 16
- And <G1161> it came to pass <G1096> <G5633>, as we <G2257> went <G4198> <G5740> to <G1519> prayer <G4335>, a certain <G5100> damsel <G3814> possessed <G2192> <G5723> with a spirit <G4151> of divination <G4436> met <G0528> <G5658> us <G2254>, which <G3748> brought <G3930> <G5707> her <G0848> masters <G2962> much <G4183> gain <G2039> by soothsaying <G3132> <G5740>:
- 17
- The same <G3778> followed <G2628> <G5660> Paul <G3972> and <G2532> us <G2254>, and cried <G2896> <G5707>, saying <G3004> <G5723>, These <G3778> men <G0444> are <G1526> <G5748> the servants <G1401> of the most high <G5310> God <G2316>, which <G3748> shew <G2605> <G5719> unto us <G2254> the way <G3598> of salvation <G4991>.
- 18
- And <G1161> this <G5124> did she <G4160> <G5707> <G1909> many <G4183> days <G2250>. But <G1161> Paul <G3972>, being grieved <G1278> <G5666>, turned <G1994> <G5660> and <G2532> said <G2036> <G5627> to the spirit <G4151>, I command <G3853> <G5719> thee <G4671> in <G1722> the name <G3686> of Jesus <G2424> Christ <G5547> to come <G1831> <G5629> out of <G0575> her <G0846>. And <G2532> he came out <G1831> <G5627> the same <G0846> hour <G5610>.
- 19
- And <G1161> when her <G0846> masters <G2962> saw <G1492> <G5631> that <G3754> the hope <G1680> of their <G0848> gains <G2039> was gone <G1831> <G5627>, they caught <G1949> <G5637> Paul <G3972> and <G2532> Silas <G4609>, and drew <G1670> <G5656> [them] into <G1519> the marketplace <G0058> unto <G1909> the rulers <G0758>,
- 20
- And <G2532> brought <G4317> <G5631> them <G0846> to the magistrates <G4755>, saying <G2036> <G5627>, These <G3778> men <G0444>, being <G5225> <G5723> Jews <G2453>, do exceedingly trouble <G1613> <G5719> our <G2257> city <G4172>,
- 21
- And <G2532> teach <G2605> <G5719> customs <G1485>, which <G3739> are <G1832> <G0000> not <G3756> lawful <G1832> <G5748> for us <G2254> to receive <G3858> <G5738>, neither <G3761> to observe <G4160> <G5721>, being <G5607> <G5752> Romans <G4514>.
- 22
- And <G2532> the multitude <G3793> rose up together <G4911> <G5627> against <G2596> them <G0846>: and <G2532> the magistrates <G4755> rent off <G4048> <G5660> their <G0846> clothes <G2440>, and commanded <G2753> <G5707> to beat <G4463> <G5721> [them].
- 23
- And <G5037> when they had laid <G2007> <G5631> many <G4183> stripes <G4127> upon them <G0846>, they cast <G0906> <G5627> [them] into <G1519> prison <G5438>, charging <G3853> <G5660> the jailor <G1200> to keep <G5083> <G5721> them <G0846> safely <G0806>:
- 24
- Who <G3739>, having received <G2983> <G5761> such <G5108> a charge <G3852>, thrust <G0906> <G5627> them <G0846> into <G1519> the inner <G2082> prison <G5438>, and <G2532> made <G0805> <G0000> their <G0846> feet <G4228> fast <G0805> <G5662> in <G1519> the stocks <G3586>.
- 25
- And <G1161> at <G2596> midnight <G3317> Paul <G3972> and <G2532> Silas <G4609> prayed <G4336> <G5740>, and sang praises <G5214> <G5707> unto God <G2316>: and <G1161> the prisoners <G1198> heard <G1874> <G5711> them <G0846>.
- 26
- And <G1161> suddenly <G0869> there was <G1096> <G5633> a great <G3173> earthquake <G4578>, so that <G5620> the foundations <G2310> of the prison <G1201> were shaken <G4531> <G5683>: and <G5037> immediately <G3916> all <G3956> the doors <G2374> were opened <G0455> <G5681>, and <G2532> every one's <G3956> bands <G1199> were loosed <G0447> <G5681>.
- 27
- And <G1161> the keeper of the prison <G1200> awaking <G1096> <G5637> out of his sleep <G1853>, and <G2532> seeing <G1492> <G5631> the prison <G5438> doors <G2374> open <G0455> <G5772>, he drew out <G4685> <G5671> his sword <G3162>, and would <G3195> <G5707> have killed <G0337> <G5721> himself <G1438>, supposing <G3543> <G5723> that the prisoners <G1198> had been fled <G1628> <G5755>.
- 28
- But <G1161> Paul <G3972> cried <G5455> <G5656> with a loud <G3173> voice <G5456>, saying <G3004> <G5723>, Do <G4238> <G5661> thyself <G4572> no <G3367> harm <G2556>: for <G1063> we are <G2070> <G5748> all <G0537> here <G1759>.
- 29
- Then <G1161> he called <G0154> <G5660> for a light <G5457>, and sprang in <G1530> <G5656>, and <G2532> came <G1096> <G5637> trembling <G1790>, and fell down before <G4363> <G5627> Paul <G3972> and <G2532> Silas <G4609>,
- 30
- And <G2532> brought <G4254> <G5631> them <G0846> out <G1854>, and said <G5346> <G5713>, Sirs <G2962>, what <G5101> must <G1163> <G5748> I <G3165> do <G4160> <G5721> to <G2443> be saved <G4982> <G5686>?
- 31
- And <G1161> they said <G2036> <G5627>, Believe <G4100> <G5657> on <G1909> the Lord <G2962> Jesus <G2424> Christ <G5547>, and <G2532> thou <G4771> shalt be saved <G4982> <G5701>, and <G2532> thy <G4675> house <G3624>.
- 32
- And <G2532> they spake <G2980> <G5656> unto him <G0846> the word <G3056> of the Lord <G2962>, and <G2532> to all <G3956> that were in <G1722> his <G0846> house <G3614>.
- 33
- And <G2532> he took <G3880> <G5631> them <G0846> <G1722> the same <G1565> hour <G5610> of the night <G3571>, and washed <G3068> <G5656> [their] stripes <G0575> <G4127>; and <G2532> was baptized <G0907> <G5681>, he <G0846> and <G2532> all <G3956> his <G0846>, straightway <G3916>.
- 34
- And <G5037> when he had brought <G0321> <G5631> them <G0846> into <G1519> his <G0848> house <G3624>, he set <G3908> <G0000> meat <G5132> before them <G3908> <G5656>, and <G2532> rejoiced <G0021> <G5662>, believing <G4100> <G5761> in God <G2316> with all <G3832> <G0000> his <G0846> house <G3832>.
- 35
- And <G1161> when it was <G1096> <G5637> day <G2250>, the magistrates <G4755> sent <G0649> <G5656> the serjeants <G4465>, saying <G3004> <G5723>, Let <G0630> <G0000> those <G1565> men <G0444> go <G0630> <G5657>.
- 36
- And <G1161> the keeper of the prison <G1200> told <G0518> <G5656> this <G5128> saying <G3056> to <G4314> Paul <G3972>, <G3754> The magistrates <G4755> have sent <G0649> <G5758> to <G2443> let you go <G0630> <G5686>: now <G3568> therefore <G3767> depart <G1831> <G5631>, and go <G4198> <G5737> in <G1722> peace <G1515>.
- 37
- But <G1161> Paul <G3972> said <G5346> <G5713> unto <G4314> them <G0846>, They have beaten <G1194> <G5660> us <G2248> openly <G1219> uncondemned <G0178>, being <G5225> <G5723> Romans <G4514> <G0444>, and have cast <G0906> <G5627> [us] into <G1519> prison <G5438>; and <G2532> now <G3568> do they thrust <G1544> <G0000> us <G2248> out <G1544> <G5719> privily <G2977>? nay <G3756> verily <G1063>; but <G0235> let them come <G2064> <G5631> themselves <G0846> and fetch <G1806> <G0000> us <G2248> out <G1806> <G5628>.
- 38
- And <G1161> the serjeants <G4465> told <G0312> <G5656> these <G5023> words <G4487> unto the magistrates <G4755>: and <G2532> they feared <G5399> <G5675>, when they heard <G0191> <G5660> that <G3754> they were <G1526> <G5748> Romans <G4514>.
- 39
- And <G2532> they came <G2064> <G5631> and besought <G3870> <G5656> them <G0846>, and <G2532> brought [them] out <G1806> <G5631>, and desired <G2065> <G5707> [them] to depart out <G1831> <G5629> of the city <G4172>.
- 40
- And <G1161> they went <G1831> <G5631> out of <G1537> the prison <G5438>, and entered <G1525> <G5627> into <G1519> [the house of] Lydia <G3070>: and <G2532> when they had seen <G1492> <G5631> the brethren <G0080>, they comforted <G3870> <G5656> them <G0846>, and <G2532> departed <G1831> <G5627>.
