And he arrived at the city Derbe and at Lustra. And there was there a certain disciple whose name was Timotheos, the son of a believing Yehudita, and his father was an Aramean.

And all the disciples from Lustra and from Iqnon were testifying about him.

This one Paulos wanted to take with him, and he took and circumcised him because of the Yehudaye who were in the region, for they all knew that his father was an Aramean.

And as they were going through the cities, they were proclaiming and teaching them that they should be keeping the commandments which the emissaries and elders who were in Urishlim wrote.

But the assemblies were being established in the faith and were increasing in number every day.

Now they walked through the regions of Phrygia and of Galatia, and the Ruach haKodesh forbade them to speak the word of Elohim in Asia.

And when they came to the region of Mysia, they wanted to go from there to Bithynia, and the Ruach of Y'shua did not permit them.

And when they went out from Mysia, they went down to the region of Troas.

And in a vision of the night there appeared to Paulos a certain Macedonian man who stood and begged from him, saying: Come to Macedonia and help me.

But when Paulos saw this vision, at once we wanted to go out to Macedonia, because we understood that our Master had called us to announce good news to them.

And we sailed from Troas and went straight to Samothrace, and from there on the next day we came to the city Neapolis.

And from there to Philippi, which is the head city of Macedonia, and it is a colony. And we were in this city certain days.

And on the Sabbath day we went outside the gate of the city by the side of a river, because a house of prayer was seen there. And when we sat down, we were speaking with the women who were assembled there.

And a certain woman, a seller of purple, who was fearing Elohim, whose name was Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, was there. Our Master opened her heart, and she was listening to what Paulos was saying.

And she was immersed, she and the people of her house. And she was requesting of us and saying, If you are truly confident that I have believed in our Master, come stay in my house. And she urged us much.

And it happened that as we were going to the house of prayer, a certain young girl met us who had a spirit of divination, and she was making much profit for her masters by the divination she was performing.

And she was coming after Paulos and after us, and she was crying out and saying, These men are the servants of Elohim the Most High, and they are announcing to you the way of life.

And she was doing this many days. And Paulos was indignant, and he said to that spirit, I command you in the name of Y'shua the Mashiyach to come out of her. And it came out in that hour.

And when her masters saw that the hope of their trade had gone out from her, they seized Paulos and Shila, and dragged them and brought them to the marketplace.

And they brought them near to the prefects and to the chiefs of the city, and were saying: These men are troubling our city, because they are Jews,

and they proclaim to us customs which it is not permitted for us to receive and to do, because we are Romans.

And a great crowd gathered against them. Then the prefects tore their clothes and commanded that they scourge them.

And when they had scourged them much, they threw them into the prison, and commanded the keeper of the prison to keep them carefully.

But he, when he received this command, brought them in and confined them in the inner part of the prison, and bound their feet in the stocks.

And in the middle of the night Paulos and Shila were praying and glorifying Elohim, and the prisoners were hearing them.

And suddenly there was a great shaking, and the foundations of the prison house were moved; and at once all the doors were opened, and the bonds of all of them were loosed.

And when the keeper of the prison house awoke and saw that the doors of the prison house were open, he took a sword and sought to kill himself, because he supposed the prisoners had fled.

And Paulos called to him with a loud voice and said to him, Do nothing bad to yourself, because we are all here.

And he lit a lamp for himself and sprang and came in trembling, and fell at the feet of Paulos and of Shila.

And he brought them outside and was saying to them, My masters, what must I do so that I may live?

And they were saying to him, Believe in our Master Y'shua the Mashiyach, and you will live, you and your house.

And they spoke the word of Master YHWH with him, and with all the sons of his house.

And in that same hour of the night he took and washed them from their stripes, and at once he was immersed, he and all the sons of his house.

And he took and brought them up into his house, and set a table for them; and he rejoiced, he and the sons of his house, in the faith of Elohim.

And when it was morning, the prefects sent the rod-bearers to say to the chief of the prison: Release those men.

And when the chief of the prison house heard it, he went in and said this same word to Paulos, that the prefects have sent word that you be released. And now go out, go in peace.

Paulos said to him: They have scourged us, men who did no wrong, Romans, before the eyes of the whole world, and have thrown us into prison; and now are they secretly putting us out? No indeed: but let them come themselves and bring us out.

And the rod-bearers went and told the prefects these words that were said to them; and when they heard that they are Romans, they were afraid,

and came to them and begged them to go out and leave the city.

And when they went out from the prison, they entered the house of Lydia; and there they saw the brothers and comforted them, and departed.
