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.
