8. So they passed by Mysia and went down to Troas.
9. During the night a vision appeared to Paul: A man of Macedonia stood and pleaded with him, saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.”
10. After he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go into Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them.
11. From Troas we set sail on a straight course to Samothrace and the next day to Neapolis,
12. and from there to Philippi, which is the main city of that part of Macedonia, and a colony. We stayed in this city several days.
13. On the Sabbath we went out of the city to a riverside, where prayer was customarily offered. And we sat down and spoke to the women who had assembled.
14. A woman named Lydia, a seller of purple fabric of the city of Thyatira, who worshipped God, heard us. The Lord opened her heart to acknowledge what Paul said.
