10 And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that 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: 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.

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 prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters 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 us the way of salvation.

10 保罗见了这异象， 我们就认定是 神呼召我们去传福音给他们， 于是立刻设法前往马其顿。

11 我们从特罗亚开船， 直航撒摩特拉， 第二天到达尼亚波利，

12 从那里来到腓立比， 就是马其顿地区的首要城市， 是罗马的殖民地。我们在这城里住了几天。

13 安息日我们出了城门， 来到河边， 以为那里是个祈祷的地方。我们坐下， 对聚集的妇女讲论。

14 有一位敬畏 神的妇女， 名叫吕底亚， 是推雅推拉城卖紫色布的商人， 她一直在听， 主开启她的心， 使她留心听保罗所讲的。

15 她和她一家受了洗以后， 就请求说： "你们若认为我是对主忠实的， 就请到我家来住。"于是她强留我们。

16 有一次， 我们到祈祷的地方去的时候， 一个被巫鬼附着的婢女迎面而来； 她行占卜使主人们发了大财。

17 她跟着保罗和我们， 喊叫说： "这些人是至高 神的仆人， 向你们传讲得救的道路。"
