The Macedonian Call
6 Now when they had gone through Phrygia and the region of Acts 18:23; Gal. 1:1, 2Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia. 7 After they had come to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit did not permit them. 8 So passing by Mysia, they Acts 16:11; 20:5; 2 Cor. 2:12; 2 Tim. 4:13came down to Troas. 9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night. A Acts 10:30man of Macedonia stood and pleaded with him, saying, "Come over to Macedonia and help us." 10 Now after he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go 2 Cor. 2:13to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them.
