1 And then they arrived in Derbe and in Lustra. And behold, there was a certain student there with the name Timotheos, a son of a faithful Judaean woman, but of a Greek father,2 who was accredited by the brethren in Lustra and Ikonion.3 And Paul desired for him to depart with him, and taking him he circumcised him on account of the Judaeans who were in those places, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.4 And as they passed through the cities, they transmitted to them to keep the opinions decided by the ambassadors and elders who are in Jerusalem.5 So then the assemblies were strengthened in the faith and abounded in number each day.6 And they passed through the region of Phrugia and Galatia, being prevented by the Holy Spirit to speak the Word in Asia.7 Then coming by Musia, they attempted to go into Bithunia, yet the Spirit of Yahshua did not allow them.8 And passing by Musia they went down into the Troad.9 And during the night a vision appeared to Paul: a certain man of Makedon was standing and exhorting him and saying "Crossing over into Makedonia, help us!"10 And as he saw the vision, immediately we sought to depart for Makedonia, concluding that Yahweh had summoned us to announce the good message to them.11 And setting sail from the Troad we ran a straight course to Samothrake, and on the next day to New City12 and from there to Philippos, which is the first city of the district of Makedonia, a colony. And we spending time were in that city some days.13 And on the day of the Sabbaths we departed outside of the gate by the river, which we supposed to be for prayer, and sitting we spoke to the women gathered there.14 And there was a certain woman named Ludia, a seller of purple cloth from the city of Thuateira, respecting Yahweh, who listened, who's heart the Prince opened to heed the things being spoken by Paul.15 And as she and her house were immersed, she exhorted saying "If you have judged me to be faithful in the Prince, entering into my house you stay." And she compelled us.16 And it came to pass upon our going to the prayer, a certain slave girl having a spirit of a python met with us, who produced much business for her masters by divining.17 She following after Paul and us cried out saying "These men are servants of Yahweh the highest, who declare to you the way of salvation!"18 And this she did for many days. Then Paul being quite troubled and turning to the spirit said "I order you in the Name of Yahshua Christ to depart from her!" And it departed at that same moment.19 And her masters seeing her, because the hope of their business departed, taking Paul and Silas they dragged them into the market before the rulers,20 and bringing them to the chief magistrates they said "These men agitate our city, being Judaeans,21 and they declare customs which are not lawful for us to receive nor to do, being Romans!"22 And the crowd stood up against them and the chief magistrates tearing off their garments commanded them to be beaten.23 And laying upon them many blows they cast them into prison ordering the jailer to keep them securely,24 who receiving such an order cast them into the inner cell and secured their feet in stocks.25 And about midnight Paul and Silas praying were praising Yahweh, and the prisoners were listening to them.26 Then suddenly a great earthquake came, so as to shake the foundations of the jailhouse, and immediately all the doors were opened and all the fetters let go.27 And the jailer coming from sleep and seeing the doors of the prison opened, drawing a sword was about to slay himself, believing the prisoners to have fled away.28 But with a great voice Paul cried out saying "Do nothing evil to yourself! For we are all here!"29 And requesting a light he burst in and coming trembling fell before Paul and Silas,30 and leading them outside he said "Masters, what is necessary for me to do that I be saved?"31 And they said "Believe in the Prince Yahshua and you and your house shall be saved."32 And they spoke to him the Word of the Prince with all those in his house.33 And taking them at that hour of the night he washed their wounds, and he and all those of his were immersed immediately,34 and bringing them up to the house he provided a table and they rejoiced with all the house believing in Yahweh.35 Then day coming the chief magistrates sent to the bailiffs, saying "Release those men."36 And the jailer announced those words to Paul, that "the chief magistrates sent in order that you be released, so now departing you go in peace."37 And Paul said to them: "Flaying us in public, being uncondemned Roman men, they cast us into prison, and now secretly they would cast us out? Indeed not! Rather coming, they themselves must lead us out!"38 Then the bailiffs announced these words to the chief magistrates, and they were afraid, hearing that they are Romans.39 And coming they summoned them and leading them out asked them to depart from the city.40 And departing from the prison they went to Ludia and seeing the brethren encouraged them and they departed.
