| 1Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and,
behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman, which
was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was a Greek: 2Which was well reported of by the
brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium. 3Him 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 a Greek. 4And 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
Jerusalem. 5And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number
daily. 6Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia, 7After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not. 8And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas. 9And 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. 10And 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. |
1He came to Derbe and then to Lystra,
where a disciple named Timothy lived, whose mother was a Jewess and a believer, but whose
father was a Greek. 2The brothers at Lystra and Iconium spoke well of him. 3Paul wanted to
take him along on the journey, so he circumcised him because of the Jews who lived in that
area, for they all knew that his father was a Greek. 4As they traveled from town to town,
they delivered the decisions reached by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem for the
people to obey. 5So the churches were strengthened in the faith and grew daily in numbers. 6Paul and his companions traveled throughout the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been kept by the Holy Spirit from preaching the word in the province of Asia. 7When they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them to. 8So they passed by Mysia and went down to Troas. 9During the night Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and begging him, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.” 10After Paul had seen the vision, we got ready at once to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them. |
