Missionary journeys » Ac 13-14 » Third - with timothy and others
And after making some stay, he departed, passing in regular order through the Galatian district, and Phrygia, confirming all the disciples. Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, a man of eloquence, who was powerful in the Scriptures, had come to Ephesus. He was instructed in the way of the Lord: and being fervent in spirit, he spake and taught very diligently the things concerning the Lord, though knowing only the baptism of John. read more.
So this man began to speak with great boldness in the synagogue: but when Aquila and Priscilla heard him, they took him home with them, and more accurately expounded to him the way of the Lord. And when he wished to pass over to Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him; who arriving, contributed much to [confirm] those who believed through grace. For he strenuously argued with the Jews in public, demonstrating by the Scriptures that Jesus is the Messiah. NOW it came to pass that during the time Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, after passing through the upper provinces, came to Ephesus; and finding certain disciples, said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not even heard if the Holy Ghost is [given]. And he asked them, Into what then were ye baptised? And they replied, Into John's baptism. Then said Paul, John indeed baptised with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people, That they should believe on him who was coming after him, that is, in Christ Jesus. Now when they heard it, they were baptised into the name of the Lord Jesus. And Paul laying on them his hands, the Holy Ghost came upon them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. And the men were in all about twelve. And entering into the synagogue, he spake boldly during three months, reasoning and persuading the things that concern the kingdom of God. And when some were hardened, and infidel, speaking evil of the way before the people, he withdrew from them, and separated the disciples, discoursing daily in the school of one Tyrannus. And this he did for two years; so that all who dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks. And God wrought by the hands of Paul extraordinary miracles; so that even from his skin there were brought handkerchiefs and aprons unto the diseased, and their disorders were chased from them, and the evil spirits came out of them. Then certain of the Jews, who went about as exorcists, attempted to make mention of the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth. And they were seven sons of Sceva a Jew, a chief priest, who did this. Then the evil spirit replied, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? And the man sprang upon them, in whom was the evil spirit, and getting the mastery over them, prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. And this was known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who dwelt at Ephesus: and fear fell on them all, and they magnified the name of the Lord. And many of those who believed came, confessing and declaring their practices. And many of those who practised magical arts brought the books, and burned them before all men; and they calculated the prices of them, and found them worth fifty thousand pieces of silver. So mightily did the word of God increase and prevail. Now when these things were accomplished, Paul purposed by the Spirit, passing through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, That after I have been there, I must see Rome also. Then he dispatched into Macedonia two of those who attended upon him, Timothy and Erastus; while he himself continued a while longer in Asia. And there happened at that time no small disturbance about this way. For a person named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made little temples in silver to represent that of Diana, brought to the artificers no small gain; whom collecting together, with the workmen also of such trinkets, he said, Sirs, ye know that by this employment we make our advantageous livelihood: and ye see and hear how not only at Ephesus, but almost through all Asia, this fellow Paul, by his persuasions, hath perverted a vast multitude, affirming that they are not gods which are made with hands: so that not only is this our trade in danger of falling into contempt, but also that this temple of the great goddess Diana should be counted as nothing, and that henceforth also her magnificence should be utterly destroyed, whom all Asia and the whole world worshippeth. On hearing this then, and being filled with rage, they cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians. And the whole city was filled with confusion; and they rushed unanimously into the theatre, dragging with them Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, Paul's travelling companions. But though Paul wished to go in to the people, the disciples would not permit him. And some of the Asiarchs also, who were his friends, sent unto him, admonishing him not to venture himself into the theatre. So they were crying out some one thing and some another: for the assembly was a scene of confusion, and the greater part knew not on what account they were collected together. Then out of the crowd they brought forward Alexander, the Jews pushing him on: and Alexander, waving his hand, would fain have addressed his apology to the people. But when they knew he was a Jew, one shout burst from all, crying for about the space of two hours, Great is Diana of the Ephesians. Then the recorder having quieted the multitude, said, Men of Ephesus, who indeed is the man that doth not know that the city of the Ephesians is wholly devoted to the great goddess Diana, and to the image which fell down from Jupiter? These things being then incontrovertible, it becomes you to be quiet, and to do nothing with precipitation. For ye have brought hither these men, neither robbers of the temple, nor blasphemers of your goddess. If then indeed Demetrius and the artificers that are with him have a charge against any man, the courts are held, and there are proconsuls: let them implead one another. And if ye have any dispute about other matters, it shall be terminated in a lawful assembly, For we are even in danger of being called to account for this day's insurrection, there being no cause on account of which we can justify this tumultuary concourse: and so saying, he dissolved the assembly. THEN after the tumult was quieted, Paul called to him the disciples, and taking his leave, departed to go into Macedonia. And passing through those parts, and having exhorted them with much discourse, he went into Greece. And after three months stay, as the Jews were lying in wait for him, when he was just embarking for Syria, he determined to return through Macedonia. And there accompanied him as far as Asia, Sopater a Berean; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and Tychicus and Trophimus, Asiatics. These going before tarried for us at Troas. And we sailed from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came to them to Troas after five days; where we stayed seven days. And on the first day of the week, when the disciples were assembled to break bread, Paul preached unto them (ready to depart on the morrow), and extended his discourse until midnight. Now there were many lamps in the upper room, where they were assembled. And a certain youth named Eutytchus, who sat in the window, fell into a profound sleep: as Paul discoursed much longer than usual, quite overpowered with sleep, he fell down from a third story, and was taken up dead. But Paul came down, and fell upon him, and taking him in his arms, said, Trouble not yourselves, for his life is yet in him. And when he had gone up, and broken bread, and eaten, and conversed a long time, even to the break of day, he then departed. And they brought the lad alive, and were comforted exceedingly. Then we going before to the ship, sailed for Assos, intending there to take in Paul: for so he had ordered, meaning himself to walk thither. And when he met us at Assos, we took him up, and came to Mytelene. And sailing from thence, on the following day we advanced over against Chios; and the next day we touched at Samos, and staying at Trogyllium, the day following we came to Miletus. For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, that he might not spend the time in Asia: for he hastened on, if it was possible for him, to be at Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost. So he sent to Ephesus from Miletus, and called the presbyters of the church to attend him. And when they were come unto him, he said unto them, Ye know, from the very first day in which I entered into Asia, how I have been among you at every season, serving the Lord with all humility, and with many tears and trials, which have befallen me through the lying in wait of the Jews: and that I have suppressed nothing which could conduce to your profiting; not desisting from preaching to you, and teaching you in public, and from house to house, repeatedly urging both on Jews and Greeks repentance towards God, and faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ. And now behold I am going, bound by the Spirit, unto Jerusalem, not knowing what things shall there befal me: only this, that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying, that bonds and tribulation await thee. Yet I make no account of any [suffering], nor regard my life as of any value to myself, farther than as I may finish my course with joy, and the ministry which I have received of the Lord, to testify fully the Gospel of the grace of God. And now behold, I know that ye shall see my face no more, even ye all, among whom I have gone in and out preaching the kingdom of God. Wherefore I appeal to you this day as witnesses that I am pure from the blood of all men. For I have concealed nothing, so as not repeatedly to declare to you the whole counsel of God. Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock, over which the Holy Ghost hath made you bishops, to feed as shepherds the church of God, which he purchased with his own blood. For this I know, that after my departure there will come among you grievous wolves, not sparing the flock: Yea, from among yourselves shall men arise, speaking perverting doctrines, to draw away disciples after them. Therefore watch, remembering that for three years, by night and by day, I have never ceased with tears to admonish every individual. And now, brethren, I commit you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to finish the superstructure, and to give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified. The silver, or gold, or apparel of no man have I coveted: but ye yourselves know that these hands have by labour furnished necessaries for my own wants, and for those who were with me. In all things I have set you the example, that so labouring hard ye ought to help the infirm, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, because he himself said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." And when he had spoken these things, he fell on his knees, and prayed with them all. And all of them shed floods of tears, and fell upon Paul's neck, and kissed him again and again, most peculiarly afflicted at that word which he had spoken, that they should see his face no more: and they accompanied him unto the ship. AND tearing ourselves away from them, when we had set sail, we came in a direct course to Coos, and the day after to Rhodes, and from thence to Patara. And finding a ship passing over to Phenice, we went on board and set sail: and coming in sight of Cyprus, and leaving it on the left, we sailed unto Syria, and landed at Tyre; for there the ship was to discharge her cargo. And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: and they said to Paul, by the Spirit, that he should not go up unto Jerusalem. But when we had stayed out those days, we departed, and went on our journey, all of them attending us on our way, with wives and children, till we were out of the city: and kneeling down on the sea shore, we joined in prayer; and embracing one another, we went on ship-board, and they returned to their own homes, So completing our voyage, we arrived from Tyre at Ptolemais, and saluting the brethren, tarried with them one day. And on the morrow we who were Paul's companions departed with him, and went to Caesarea; and entering into the house of Philip the evangelist (who was one of the seven deacons), we abode with him. Now this man had four maiden daughters endued with the gift of prophecy. And as we tarried there several days, there came down a certain prophet from Judea named Agabus. And coming to us, he took Paul's girdle, and binding both his own hands and feet together, said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, The man, whose girdle this is, shall the Jews bind in like manner at Jerusalem, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles. Then when we heard these things, both we and all who were in the place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem. But Paul replied, Why do ye thus??eeping and breaking my heart? for I am ready not only to be bound, but to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus. And when he could not be persuaded, we desisted, saying, The will of the Lord be done. Then after those days, packing up our baggage, we went up to Jerusalem:

And the men were in all about twelve. And entering into the synagogue, he spake boldly during three months, reasoning and persuading the things that concern the kingdom of God. And when some were hardened, and infidel, speaking evil of the way before the people, he withdrew from them, and separated the disciples, discoursing daily in the school of one Tyrannus. And this he did for two years; so that all who dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks. And God wrought by the hands of Paul extraordinary miracles; so that even from his skin there were brought handkerchiefs and aprons unto the diseased, and their disorders were chased from them, and the evil spirits came out of them. Then certain of the Jews, who went about as exorcists, attempted to make mention of the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth. And they were seven sons of Sceva a Jew, a chief priest, who did this. Then the evil spirit replied, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? And the man sprang upon them, in whom was the evil spirit, and getting the mastery over them, prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. And this was known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who dwelt at Ephesus: and fear fell on them all, and they magnified the name of the Lord. And many of those who believed came, confessing and declaring their practices. And many of those who practised magical arts brought the books, and burned them before all men; and they calculated the prices of them, and found them worth fifty thousand pieces of silver. So mightily did the word of God increase and prevail. Now when these things were accomplished, Paul purposed by the Spirit, passing through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, That after I have been there, I must see Rome also. Then he dispatched into Macedonia two of those who attended upon him, Timothy and Erastus; while he himself continued a while longer in Asia. And there happened at that time no small disturbance about this way. For a person named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made little temples in silver to represent that of Diana, brought to the artificers no small gain; whom collecting together, with the workmen also of such trinkets, he said, Sirs, ye know that by this employment we make our advantageous livelihood: and ye see and hear how not only at Ephesus, but almost through all Asia, this fellow Paul, by his persuasions, hath perverted a vast multitude, affirming that they are not gods which are made with hands: so that not only is this our trade in danger of falling into contempt, but also that this temple of the great goddess Diana should be counted as nothing, and that henceforth also her magnificence should be utterly destroyed, whom all Asia and the whole world worshippeth. On hearing this then, and being filled with rage, they cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians. And the whole city was filled with confusion; and they rushed unanimously into the theatre, dragging with them Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, Paul's travelling companions. But though Paul wished to go in to the people, the disciples would not permit him. And some of the Asiarchs also, who were his friends, sent unto him, admonishing him not to venture himself into the theatre. So they were crying out some one thing and some another: for the assembly was a scene of confusion, and the greater part knew not on what account they were collected together. Then out of the crowd they brought forward Alexander, the Jews pushing him on: and Alexander, waving his hand, would fain have addressed his apology to the people. But when they knew he was a Jew, one shout burst from all, crying for about the space of two hours, Great is Diana of the Ephesians. Then the recorder having quieted the multitude, said, Men of Ephesus, who indeed is the man that doth not know that the city of the Ephesians is wholly devoted to the great goddess Diana, and to the image which fell down from Jupiter? These things being then incontrovertible, it becomes you to be quiet, and to do nothing with precipitation. For ye have brought hither these men, neither robbers of the temple, nor blasphemers of your goddess. If then indeed Demetrius and the artificers that are with him have a charge against any man, the courts are held, and there are proconsuls: let them implead one another. And if ye have any dispute about other matters, it shall be terminated in a lawful assembly, For we are even in danger of being called to account for this day's insurrection, there being no cause on account of which we can justify this tumultuary concourse: and so saying, he dissolved the assembly. THEN after the tumult was quieted, Paul called to him the disciples, and taking his leave, departed to go into Macedonia. And passing through those parts, and having exhorted them with much discourse, he went into Greece. And after three months stay, as the Jews were lying in wait for him, when he was just embarking for Syria, he determined to return through Macedonia. And there accompanied him as far as Asia, Sopater a Berean; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and Tychicus and Trophimus, Asiatics. These going before tarried for us at Troas. And we sailed from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came to them to Troas after five days; where we stayed seven days. And on the first day of the week, when the disciples were assembled to break bread, Paul preached unto them (ready to depart on the morrow), and extended his discourse until midnight. Now there were many lamps in the upper room, where they were assembled. And a certain youth named Eutytchus, who sat in the window, fell into a profound sleep: as Paul discoursed much longer than usual, quite overpowered with sleep, he fell down from a third story, and was taken up dead. But Paul came down, and fell upon him, and taking him in his arms, said, Trouble not yourselves, for his life is yet in him. And when he had gone up, and broken bread, and eaten, and conversed a long time, even to the break of day, he then departed. And they brought the lad alive, and were comforted exceedingly. Then we going before to the ship, sailed for Assos, intending there to take in Paul: for so he had ordered, meaning himself to walk thither. And when he met us at Assos, we took him up, and came to Mytelene. And sailing from thence, on the following day we advanced over against Chios; and the next day we touched at Samos, and staying at Trogyllium, the day following we came to Miletus. For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, that he might not spend the time in Asia: for he hastened on, if it was possible for him, to be at Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost. So he sent to Ephesus from Miletus, and called the presbyters of the church to attend him. And when they were come unto him, he said unto them, Ye know, from the very first day in which I entered into Asia, how I have been among you at every season, serving the Lord with all humility, and with many tears and trials, which have befallen me through the lying in wait of the Jews: and that I have suppressed nothing which could conduce to your profiting; not desisting from preaching to you, and teaching you in public, and from house to house, repeatedly urging both on Jews and Greeks repentance towards God, and faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ. And now behold I am going, bound by the Spirit, unto Jerusalem, not knowing what things shall there befal me: only this, that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying, that bonds and tribulation await thee. Yet I make no account of any [suffering], nor regard my life as of any value to myself, farther than as I may finish my course with joy, and the ministry which I have received of the Lord, to testify fully the Gospel of the grace of God. And now behold, I know that ye shall see my face no more, even ye all, among whom I have gone in and out preaching the kingdom of God. Wherefore I appeal to you this day as witnesses that I am pure from the blood of all men. For I have concealed nothing, so as not repeatedly to declare to you the whole counsel of God. Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock, over which the Holy Ghost hath made you bishops, to feed as shepherds the church of God, which he purchased with his own blood. For this I know, that after my departure there will come among you grievous wolves, not sparing the flock: Yea, from among yourselves shall men arise, speaking perverting doctrines, to draw away disciples after them. Therefore watch, remembering that for three years, by night and by day, I have never ceased with tears to admonish every individual. And now, brethren, I commit you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to finish the superstructure, and to give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified. The silver, or gold, or apparel of no man have I coveted: but ye yourselves know that these hands have by labour furnished necessaries for my own wants, and for those who were with me. In all things I have set you the example, that so labouring hard ye ought to help the infirm, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, because he himself said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." And when he had spoken these things, he fell on his knees, and prayed with them all. And all of them shed floods of tears, and fell upon Paul's neck, and kissed him again and again, most peculiarly afflicted at that word which he had spoken, that they should see his face no more: and they accompanied him unto the ship. AND tearing ourselves away from them, when we had set sail, we came in a direct course to Coos, and the day after to Rhodes, and from thence to Patara. And finding a ship passing over to Phenice, we went on board and set sail: and coming in sight of Cyprus, and leaving it on the left, we sailed unto Syria, and landed at Tyre; for there the ship was to discharge her cargo. And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: and they said to Paul, by the Spirit, that he should not go up unto Jerusalem. But when we had stayed out those days, we departed, and went on our journey, all of them attending us on our way, with wives and children, till we were out of the city: and kneeling down on the sea shore, we joined in prayer; and embracing one another, we went on ship-board, and they returned to their own homes, So completing our voyage, we arrived from Tyre at Ptolemais, and saluting the brethren, tarried with them one day. And on the morrow we who were Paul's companions departed with him, and went to Caesarea; and entering into the house of Philip the evangelist (who was one of the seven deacons), we abode with him. Now this man had four maiden daughters endued with the gift of prophecy. And as we tarried there several days, there came down a certain prophet from Judea named Agabus. And coming to us, he took Paul's girdle, and binding both his own hands and feet together, said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, The man, whose girdle this is, shall the Jews bind in like manner at Jerusalem, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles. Then when we heard these things, both we and all who were in the place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem. But Paul replied, Why do ye thus??eeping and breaking my heart? for I am ready not only to be bound, but to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus. And when he could not be persuaded, we desisted, saying, The will of the Lord be done. Then after those days, packing up our baggage, we went up to Jerusalem:
So this man began to speak with great boldness in the synagogue: but when Aquila and Priscilla heard him, they took him home with them, and more accurately expounded to him the way of the Lord. And when he wished to pass over to Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him; who arriving, contributed much to [confirm] those who believed through grace. For he strenuously argued with the Jews in public, demonstrating by the Scriptures that Jesus is the Messiah. NOW it came to pass that during the time Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, after passing through the upper provinces, came to Ephesus; and finding certain disciples, said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not even heard if the Holy Ghost is [given]. And he asked them, Into what then were ye baptised? And they replied, Into John's baptism. Then said Paul, John indeed baptised with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people, That they should believe on him who was coming after him, that is, in Christ Jesus. Now when they heard it, they were baptised into the name of the Lord Jesus. And Paul laying on them his hands, the Holy Ghost came upon them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. And the men were in all about twelve. And entering into the synagogue, he spake boldly during three months, reasoning and persuading the things that concern the kingdom of God. And when some were hardened, and infidel, speaking evil of the way before the people, he withdrew from them, and separated the disciples, discoursing daily in the school of one Tyrannus. And this he did for two years; so that all who dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks. And God wrought by the hands of Paul extraordinary miracles; so that even from his skin there were brought handkerchiefs and aprons unto the diseased, and their disorders were chased from them, and the evil spirits came out of them. Then certain of the Jews, who went about as exorcists, attempted to make mention of the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth. And they were seven sons of Sceva a Jew, a chief priest, who did this. Then the evil spirit replied, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? And the man sprang upon them, in whom was the evil spirit, and getting the mastery over them, prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. And this was known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who dwelt at Ephesus: and fear fell on them all, and they magnified the name of the Lord. And many of those who believed came, confessing and declaring their practices. And many of those who practised magical arts brought the books, and burned them before all men; and they calculated the prices of them, and found them worth fifty thousand pieces of silver. So mightily did the word of God increase and prevail. Now when these things were accomplished, Paul purposed by the Spirit, passing through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, That after I have been there, I must see Rome also. Then he dispatched into Macedonia two of those who attended upon him, Timothy and Erastus; while he himself continued a while longer in Asia.

and from thence to Philippi, which is the first city in that part of Macedonia, and a colony: and we abode in that city some days. And on the sabbath-day we went forth out of the city to the river side, where an oratory was by custom established; and sitting down, we spoke to the women who there assembled. And a certain woman, Lydia by name, a seller of purple, from the city of Thyatira, a worshipper of God, hearkened: whose heart the Lord thoroughly opened, to attend to the words spoken by Paul. read more.
So when she was baptised, and her house, she entreated, saying, Since ye have judged that I am faithful to the Lord, come and abide at my house. And she constrained us. Now it happened as we were going to the oratory, a certain damsel having a pythonic spirit met us, who produced for her masters much gain as a fortuneteller: she following Paul and us, cried out, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, who preach to you the way of salvation. And this she did for several days. Then Paul was wearied out, and turning, said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out that very hour. But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they laid hold on Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the forum before the chief rulers, and presenting them to the magistrates, they said, These are the men that exceedingly disturb the peace of our city, being Jews, and enjoin customs which it is not lawful for us to receive, or to practise, being Romans. And the populace stood up together against them: and the magistrates, after having had their garments torn from their backs, commanded them to be beaten with rods. And laying on them many stripes, cast them into prison, commanding the jailor to keep them in safe custody: who, receiving such an injunction, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks. But about midnight Paul and Silas, after joining in prayer, sang hymns to God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the very foundations of the prison were shaken: and instantly all the doors flew open, and every man's chains were loosed. Then the jailor being roused from sleep, and seeing the doors of the prison open, drew his sword, going to destroy himself, supposing the prisoners had escaped. But Paul called out with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no injury: for we are all here. Thereupon calling for a light, he rushed in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas; and having first brought them out, said, Sirs! what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, thou, and thy house. And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all who were in his house. And taking them that same hour of the night, he washed their stripes; and was baptised, himself and all who belonged to him immediately. And when he had brought them into his house, he spread the table, and greatly rejoiced with all his household, believing in God. But when it was day, the magistrates sent the lictors, saying, Set those men at large. Then the jailor told these words to Paul, That the magistrates had sent to set them at liberty: now therefore, [said he,] get ye out, and pursue your journey in peace. But Paul said to them, They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men that are Roman citizens, and have cast us into prison; and would they now clandestinely send us away? no, verily; but let them come themselves and fetch us out. Then the lictors reported all these words to the magistrates: and they were terrified, when they heard they were Roman citizens. So they came and spoke kindly to them, and fetching them out, besought them to depart from the city. Then leaving the prison, they went unto Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and went their way.
