6 Now Bwhen they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were B forbidden1 of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia,

7 B After B they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but y the Spirity suffered them not. 8 And they passing by h Mysia came down to Troas. 9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a iman of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.

10 And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that ẞ the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.

11 Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis; 12 And from thence to 'Philippi, which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia, and a colony 2: and we were in that city abiding certain days.

13 And on the sabbath we went out of the city ẞ by a river side, where yprayer was wont to be madey; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which resorted thither.

14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard Us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul.

15 And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us.

16 And it came to pass, as we went to 3prayer 3, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters P much gain by soothsaying:

17 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto Busß the way of salvation.

18 And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.

19 And when her masters saw that

22 And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to y 2 Cor. 6.5 beat them.

23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely: 24 Who, having received such a charge. thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.

25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.

& 11. 23, 25. 1 Thess 2.2.

26 And suddenly there was a great ch. 4. 31. earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every ech. 5. 19. one's bands were loosed.

27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.

28 But Paul cried with a loud voice. saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.

29 Then he called for 5a light 5, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,

30 And brought them out, and said,
Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
31 And they said, Believe on the Lord
Jesus B Christ B, and thou shalt be saved,
and thy house.

32 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. 33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.

37 But Paul said unto them. They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being ch. 22. 25. Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and fetch us out.

38 And the serjeants told these words unto the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans. 39 And they came and besought them, and brought them out, and desired themMatt. 8. to depart out of the city.

40 And they went out of the prison, 9 and entered into the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed. CHAPTER 17.

Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews:

2 And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto thein, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures, 3 Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this B Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ B. 4 And some of them believed, and 1 consorted with Paul and Silas; and of the 8 devout Greeks ẞ a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few. 5 But the Jews 8 which believed not ß, moved with envy, took unto them certain lewd fellows of the 2 baser sort 2, and gathered a company, and set all the city on an uproar, and assaulted the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people.

6 And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also;

7 Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Cæsar, g Luke 23. 2.9 saying that there is another king, one

8 And they troubled the people and the rulers of the city, when they heard these things.

9 And when they had taken security of Jason, and of the other, they let them go. 10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.

11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few. 13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, ẞ and stirred up ẞ the people. 14 And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go ẞas it were to B the sea: but Silas and Timotheus abode there still.

15 And they that conducted Paul brought him unto Athens: and 'receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timotheus for to come to him with all speed, they departed.

16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city 3 wholly given to idolatry 3.

17 Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him.

18 Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, What will this

babbler say, other some, He seemeth to

be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached unto them Jesus, and the resurrection.

32 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter.

33 So Paul departed from among them. 34 Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among the which was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them. CHAPTER 18.

4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.

5 And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit 8, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ.

6 And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, "Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: * from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles. 7¶ And he departed thence, and entered into a certain man's house, named Justus B, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue. 8 And Crispus, the chief ruler of the Synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized. 9 Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:

10 For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.

11 And he continued there a year and

six months, teaching the word of God among them.

12 And when Gallio was the 2 deputy 2 of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat,

13 Saying, This fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.

14 And when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:

15 But if it be a question of words and names, and of your law, look ye to it 3; for I will be no judge of such matters.

16 And he drave them from the judg

ment seat.

17 Then Ball the Greeks B took P Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. And Gallio cared for none of those things, 18 And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; q Num. 6. 18. having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow.

17 And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.

18 And many that believed came, and 'confessed, and shewed their deeds. 19 Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. 20 So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.

21 After these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome. 22 So he sent into Macedonia two of Rom. 15. 24 them that ministered unto him, Timotheus and Erastus ; but he himself stayed in Asia for a season.

23 And the same time there arose no small stir about that way.

24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines for 7 Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen ;

25 Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth.

26 Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all

An uproar against Paul. which were his friends, sent unto him, Anno desiring him that he would not adventure DOMINI himself into the theatre.

32 Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused; and the more part knew not wherefore they were come together.

33 And they ẞdrew Alexander out ẞ of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward 9. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have made his defence unto the people.

34 But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice about the space of two hours cried out, Great is 7 Diana7 of the Ephesians.

35 And when the townclerk had appeased the people, he said, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not how that the city of the Ephesians is ta 10 worshipper 10 of the great ẞ goddess B 7 Diana 7, and of the image which fell down from 11 Jupiter 11?

36 Seeing then that these things cannot be spoken against, ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.

37 For ye have brought hither these men, which are neither robbers of churches, nor yet blasphemers of your ẞ goddess.

38 Wherefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen which are with him, have a matter against any man, 12 the law is open 12, and there are 13 deputies 13; let them implead one another.

39 But if ye enquire any thing ß concerning other matters ß, it shall be determined in a lawful assembly.

40 For we are in danger to be called in question for this day's uproar, there being no B cause whereby we may give ẞ an account of this concourse.

41 And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.

7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples 8 came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight. 8 And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they ẞ were gathered together.

9 And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead.

10 And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him. 11 When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed.

12 And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted. 13 And we Bwent before to ẞ ship, and sailed unto Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, minding himself to go afoot.

14 And when he met with us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene. 15 And we sailed thence, and came the next day over against Chios; and the next day we arrived at Samos, and Starried at Trogyllium; and the next day we came to Miletus.

26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of 16 all men.

27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God. 28 Take heed therefore unto your selves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers3, to feed the church of God ß, which he hath purchased "with y his owny blood.

29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 30 Also P of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.

31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.

32 And now, B brethren ß, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give y youy an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.

33 I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.
