 a certain woman, which was Jew
 ess, and believed; but his father was a Greek:
 ?. Which was well reported of by l the brethren that were at Lystra and 1 Iconium.
 l 3. Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father was Greek. l f. And as they went through the cities, they delivered them the de- crees for to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and elders which were at Jerusalem.
 5. And so were the churches estab- lished in the faith, and increased in number daily.
 6. Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia,
 z. After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia; but the Spirit suffered them not. 8. And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas.
 g. And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.
 10. And after he had seen the vii sion, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gather ing that the Lord had called us Tor to preach the gospel unto them. il. Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis;
 12. And from thence to Phillippi which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia, and colony: and we were in that city abiding certain days.
 13. And on the sabbath We went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which resorted thither. IA. And a certain women named Lydia, seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, ] heard us: whose heart the Lord open ed, that she attended unto the things 1 which were spoken of Paul. 15. And when she was baptized. and her household, she besought us. saving. 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 prayer, a. certain damsel pos. sessed with a spirit of divination met us. which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying: | IT. The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high Goa; l which shew unto us the way Of salva- tion.
 1S. And this did she many days But Paul. being grieved, turned ana said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come ont of her. And he came out the same hour. ,,.4
 19. And when the masters saw that the hone of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace unto the rulefs'
 20. And brought them to the mag istrates, saying, These men, Delng Jews. do exceedingly trouble our city,
 S1. And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, nelther to observe, being Romans.
 22. And the multitude rose up to- gether against them: and the mag ;strates rent off their clothes, ana l commanded to beat them.
 B. And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jallor to keep them safely: "A. Who. having received sucn ! charge, thrust them into the inner nrison. and made their feet fast in the stocks.
 25. And at midnight Paul and Sllas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
 26. And suddenly there was l great earthquake, so that the founda, tions of the prison were shaken: anu immediately all the doors were open ed. and every ones bands were loos' | ed.
 27. And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing inc nrison doors open, he drew out his sword. and would have killed hlm-
 self, supposing that the prisoners had
 been fled. ,,
 2S. But Paul cried with a loud voice. saying, Do myself no harm: for we are all here. 1 29. Then he called for light ana
 sprang in, and came trembling snd fell down before Paul and Silas, {, 30. And brought them out ano
 said. Sirs, what must do to be saved l 31. And they said. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt pc saved, and thy house. 32. And they spake unto him tne word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
 33. And he took them the same hour of tho night, and washed tneiI
 stripes; and was baptized, he and all
 his, straightway. 34. And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat pe1ore them. and rejoiced. believing in uoo
 with all his house. 35. And wheDit was day the mas' ,strates sent the serjeants, saying Let those men go. ~s<,
