1Then came he to Derbe [tanner of skin] and Lystra [ransoming]: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy [honoring God], the son of a certain woman, which was a Jewish person, and believed; but his father [was] a Greek [unstable: the miry one]: 2Which was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra [ransoming] and Iconium [little image]. 3Him would Sha’ul [desired] have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Y’hudim (Judeans) [praised of Yah] which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father was a Greek [unstable: the miry one]. 4And as they went through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and elders which were at Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]. 5And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.

6Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia [dry, barren] and the region of Galatia [land of the Galli, Gauls, A Celt], and were forbidden of the Holy Spirit [Ruach HaKodesh] to preach the word in Asia [orient], 7After they were come to Mysia [land of beach trees], they assayed (attempted; tested; analyzed) to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit [Ruach] suffered them not. 8And they passing by Mysia [land of beach trees] came down to Troas (Trojan) [penetrated]. 9And a vision appeared to Sha’ul [desired] in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia [extended land], and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia [extended land], and help us. 10And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia [extended land], assuredly gathering that the Lord - Kurios had called us for to preach the Gospel (joyful message) unto them.

11Therefore loosing from Troas (Trojan) [penetrated], we came with a straight course to Samothracia [a sign of rags], and the next [day] to Neapolis [new city]; 12And from there to Philippi [lover of horses], which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia [extended land], [and] a colony: and we were in that city abiding certain days. 13And on the Shabbat [rest] we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was wont (used to; in the habit of) to be made; and we sat down, and spoke unto the women which resorted [there].

14And a certain woman named Lydia [travail], a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira [odour of affliction], which worshipped God-The Father, heard [us]: whose heart the Lord - Kurios opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Sha’ul [desired]. 15And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought [us], saying, If you^2f have judged me to be faithful to the Lord - Kurios, come into my house, and abide [there]. And she constrained us.

16And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain girl possessed with a Spirit [Ruach] of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying: 17The same followed Sha’ul [desired] and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God-The Father, which show unto us the way of salvation. 18And this did she many days. But Sha’ul [desired], being grieved, turned and said to the Spirit [Ruach], I command youⁱ in the name of Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah] to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.

19And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Sha’ul [desired] and Silas [woody], and drew [them] into the marketplace unto the rulers, 20And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Y’hudim (Judeans) [praised of Yah], do exceedingly trouble our city, 21And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans [strength].

22And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat [them]. 23And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast [them] into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely: 24Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.

25And at midnight Sha’ul [desired] and Silas [woody] prayed, and sang praises unto God-The Father: and the prisoners heard them. 26And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed. 27And 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. 28But Sha’ul [desired] cried with a loud voice, saying, Do yourself no harm: for we are all here. 29Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Sha’ul [desired] and Silas [woody], 30And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

31And they said, Believe on the Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah], and youⁱ shall be saved, and yourⁱ house. 32And they spoke unto him the word of the Lord - Kurios, and to all that were in his house. 33And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed [their] stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, immediately. 34And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God-The Father with all his house.

35And when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, Let those men go. 36And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Sha’ul [desired], The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go in peace. 37But Sha’ul [desired] said unto them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans [strength], and have cast [us] into prison; and now do they thrust us out privately? No truly; but let them come themselves and fetch us out. 38And the sergeants told these words unto the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans [strength]. 39And they came and besought them, and brought [them] out, and desired [them] to depart out of the city. 40And they went out of the prison, and entered into [the house of] Lydia [travail]: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
