1 Then 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]:

2 Which was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra [ransoming] and Iconium [little image].

3 Him 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].

4 And 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].

5 And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.

6 Now 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],

7 After 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.

8 And they passing by Mysia [land of beach trees] came down to Troas (Trojan) [penetrated].

9 And 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.

10 And 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.

11 Therefore 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];

12 And 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.

13 And 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].

14 And 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].

15 And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought [us], saying, If you2f have judged me to be faithful to the Lord - Kurios, come into my house, and abide [there]. And she constrained us.

16 And 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:

17 The 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.

18 And 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.

19 And 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,

20 And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Y’hudim (Judeans) [praised of Yah], do exceedingly trouble our city,

21 And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans [strength].

22 And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to 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 Sha’ul [desired] and Silas [woody] prayed, and sang praises unto God-The Father: and the prisoners heard them.

26 And 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.

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 Sha’ul [desired] cried with a loud voice, saying, Do yourself no harm: for we are all here.

29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Sha’ul [desired] and Silas [woody],

30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

31 And 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.

32 And they spoke unto him the word of the Lord - Kurios, 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, immediately.

34 And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God-The Father with all his house.

35 And when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, Let those men go.

36 And 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.

37 But 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.

38 And the sergeants told these words unto the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans [strength].

39 And they came and besought them, and brought [them] out, and desired [them] to depart out of the city.

40 And 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.
