00:00.000 --> 00:06.420
Chapter 16 Then came he to Derbe and
Lystra, and, behold, a certain disciple

00:06.420 --> 00:10.360
was there, named Timotheus, the son of a
certain woman, which was a Jewess,

00:10.620 --> 00:11.180
and believed.

00:11.660 --> 00:16.100
But his father was a Greek, which was well
reported of by the brethren that were at

00:16.100 --> 00:17.160
Lystra and Iconium.

00:17.960 --> 00:22.540
Him would Paul have to go forth with him,
and took and circumcised him because of

00:22.540 --> 00:26.540
the Jews which were in those quarters,
for they knew all that his father was a

00:26.540 --> 00:26.840
Greek.

00:27.540 --> 00:30.960
And as they went through the cities,
they delivered them the decrees for to

00:30.960 --> 00:34.620
keep, that were ordained of the apostles
and elders which were at Jerusalem.

00:35.340 --> 00:39.320
And so were the churches established in
the faith, and increased in number daily.

00:40.240 --> 00:43.980
Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia,
and the region of Galatia, and were

00:43.980 --> 00:48.000
forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the
word in Asia, after they were come to

00:48.000 --> 00:52.260
Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia,
but the spirit suffered them not.

00:52.720 --> 00:57.940
And they, passing by Mysia, came down to
Troas, and a vision appeared to Paul in

00:57.940 --> 00:58.300
the night.

00:58.800 --> 01:02.820
There stood a man of Macedonia,
and prayed him, saying, Come over into

01:02.820 --> 01:04.320
Macedonia, and help us.

01:04.680 --> 01:08.000
And after he had seen the vision,
immediately we endeavored to go into

01:08.000 --> 01:12.280
Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the
Lord had called us for to preach the

01:12.280 --> 01:13.060
gospel unto them.

01:13.760 --> 01:17.780
Therefore, loosing from Troas,
we came with a straight course to

01:17.780 --> 01:23.180
Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis,
and from thence to Philippi, which is the

01:23.180 --> 01:26.040
chief city of that part of Macedonia,
and a colony.

01:26.720 --> 01:29.240
And we were in that city abiding certain
days.

01:29.860 --> 01:34.080
And on the Sabbath we went out of the city
by a riverside, where prayer was wont to

01:34.080 --> 01:34.520
be made.

01:34.980 --> 01:38.100
And we sat down, and spake unto the women
which resorted thither.

01:38.840 --> 01:42.360
And a certain woman named Lydia,
a seller of purple, of the city of

01:42.360 --> 01:46.920
Thyatira, which worshipped God,
heard us, whose heart the Lord opened,

01:47.280 --> 01:50.000
that she attended unto the things which
were spoken of Paul.

01:50.640 --> 01:54.580
And when she was baptized and her
household, she besought us, saying,

01:54.820 --> 02:00.500
If ye have judged me to be faithful to the
Lord, come into my house, and abide there.

02:00.720 --> 02:01.780
And she constrained us.

02:02.500 --> 02:06.840
And it came to pass, as we went to prayer,
a certain damsel, possessed with the

02:06.840 --> 02:10.660
spirit of divination, met us, which
brought her masters much gain by

02:10.660 --> 02:11.480
soothsaying.

02:12.060 --> 02:16.180
The same followed Paul and us,
and cried, saying, These men are the

02:16.180 --> 02:21.140
servants of the most high God,
which show unto us the way of salvation.

02:21.600 --> 02:23.260
And this did she many days.

02:23.720 --> 02:28.060
But Paul, being grieved, turned and said
to the spirit, I command thee,

02:28.500 --> 02:31.760
in the name of Jesus Christ, to come out
of her.

02:31.980 --> 02:33.860
And he came out the same hour.

02:34.780 --> 02:39.240
And when her masters saw that the hope of
their gains was gone, they caught Paul and

02:39.240 --> 02:43.040
Silas, and drew them into the marketplace
unto the rulers, and brought them to the

02:43.040 --> 02:47.860
magistrates, saying, These men,
being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our

02:47.860 --> 02:52.600
city, and teach customs which are not
lawful for us to receive, neither to

02:52.600 --> 02:53.940
observe, being Romans.

02:54.240 --> 02:58.580
And the multitude rose up together against
them, and the magistrates rent off their

02:58.580 --> 03:00.420
clothes, and commanded to beat them.

03:01.060 --> 03:04.720
And when they had laid many stripes upon
them, they cast them into prison,

03:05.160 --> 03:09.440
charging the jailer to keep them safely,
who, having received such a charge,

03:09.860 --> 03:13.940
thrust them into the inner prison,
and made their feet fast in the stalks.

03:14.720 --> 03:19.720
And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed,
and sang praises unto God, and the

03:19.720 --> 03:20.720
prisoners heard them.

03:21.360 --> 03:26.280
And suddenly there was a great earthquake,
so that the foundations of the prison were

03:26.280 --> 03:26.580
shaken.

03:27.160 --> 03:31.580
And immediately all the doors were opened,
and everyone's bands were loosed.

03:32.240 --> 03:35.720
And the keeper of the prison, awaking out
of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors

03:35.720 --> 03:40.240
open, he drew out his sword, and would
have killed himself, supposing that the

03:40.240 --> 03:41.360
prisoners had been fled.

03:42.040 --> 03:47.160
But Paul cried with a loud voice,
saying, Do thyself no harm, for we are all

03:47.160 --> 03:47.520
here.

03:47.760 --> 03:52.800
Then he called for a light, and sprang in,
and came trembling, and fell down before

03:52.800 --> 03:58.600
Paul and Silas, and brought them out,
and said, Sirs, what must I do to be

03:58.600 --> 03:59.180
saved?

03:59.360 --> 04:04.920
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ, and thou shalt be saved,

04:05.320 --> 04:06.220
and thy house.

04:06.540 --> 04:09.900
And they spake unto him the word of the
Lord, and to all that were in his house.

04:10.440 --> 04:13.720
And he took them the same hour of the
night, and washed their stripes,

04:14.060 --> 04:17.520
and was baptized, he and all his,
straightway.

04:18.260 --> 04:21.580
And when he had brought them into his
house, he set meat before them,

04:21.780 --> 04:24.740
and rejoiced, believing in God with all
his house.

04:25.520 --> 04:29.780
And when it was day, the magistrates sent
the sergeant, saying, Let those men go.

04:29.940 --> 04:33.760
And the keeper of the prison told this,
saying to Paul, The magistrates have sent

04:33.760 --> 04:37.640
to let you go, now therefore depart,
and go in peace.

04:37.860 --> 04:43.280
But Paul said unto them, They have beaten
us openly, uncondemned, being Romans,

04:43.780 --> 04:45.480
and have cast us into prison.

04:46.020 --> 04:48.440
And now do they thrust us out privily?

04:49.420 --> 04:53.820
Nay, verily, but let them come themselves,
and fetch us out.

04:54.100 --> 04:57.980
And the sergeants told these words unto
the magistrates, and they feared when they

04:57.980 --> 04:58.960
heard that they were Romans.

04:59.720 --> 05:03.320
And they came and besought them,
and brought them out, and desired them to

05:03.320 --> 05:04.300
depart out of the city.

05:04.780 --> 05:07.720
And they went out of the prison,
and entered into the house of Lydia.

05:08.280 --> 05:11.880
And when they had seen the brethren,
they comforted them, and departed.
