1 Then came he to

BA ⟨also to⟩

Derbe and

ℵBA ⟨and to⟩

Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain

ℵBA omit

woman, which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was a Greek:

1 Pervenit autem Derben et Lystram. Et ecce discipulus quidam erat ibi nomine Timotheus, filius mulieris Judææ fidelis, patre gentili.

2 Which was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium.

2 Huic testimonium bonum reddebant qui in Lystris erant et Iconio fratres.

3 Him 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.

3 Hunc voluit Paulus secum proficisci: et assumens circumcidit eum propter Judæos qui erant in illis locis. Sciebant enim omnes quod pater ejus erat gentilis.

4 And 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.

4 Cum autem pertransirent civitates, tradebant eis custodiri dogmata quæ erant decreta ab Apostolis et senioribus qui erant Jerosolymis.

5 And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.

5 Et ecclesiæ quidem confirmabantur fide, et abundabunt numero quotidie.

6 Now when they had gone

ℵBA ⟨they went⟩

throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia,

6 Transeuntes autem Phrygiam et Galatiæ regionem, vetati sunt a Spiritu Sancto loqui verbum Dei in Asia.

7 After

ℵBA ⟨But after⟩

they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit

ℵBA ⟨Spirit of Jesus⟩

suffered them not.

7 Cum venissent autem in Mysiam, tentabant ire in Bithyniam: et non permisit eos Spiritus Jesu.

8 And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas.

8 Cum autem pertransissent Mysiam, descenderunt Troadem:

9 And 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.

9 et visio per noctem Paulo ostensa est: vir Macedo quidam erat stans et deprecans eum, et dicens: Transiens in Macedoniam, adjuva nos.

10 And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord

ℵBA ⟨God⟩

had called us

ℵ omit

for to preach the gospel unto them.

10 ¶ Ut autem visum vidit, statim quæsivimus proficisci in Macedoniam, certi facti quod vocasset nos Deus evangelizare eis.

11 Therefore

ℵA ⟨Now⟩

loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis;

11 Navigantes autem a Troade, recto cursu venimus Samothraciam, et sequenti die Neapolim:

12 And from thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia, and a colony: and we were in that city abiding certain days.

12 et inde Philippos, quæ est prima partis Macedoniæ civitas, colonia. Eramus autem in hac urbe diebus aliquot, conferentes.

13 And on the sabbath we went out of the city

ℵBA ⟨gate⟩

by a river side, where prayer was wont to be made

ℵBA ⟨we supposed there was a meeting for prayer⟩

; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which resorted

ℵ ⟨resorted with us⟩

thither.

13 Die autem sabbatorum egressi sumus foras portam juxta flumen, ubi videbatur oratio esse: et sedentes loquebamur mulieribus quæ convenerant.

14 ¶ And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul.

14 Et quædam mulier nomine Lydia, purpuraria civitatis Thyatirenorum, colens Deum, audivit: cujus Dominus aperuit cor intendere his quæ dicebantur a Paulo.

15 And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us.

15 Cum autem baptizata esset, et domus ejus, deprecata est, dicens: Si judicastis me fidelem Domino esse, introite in domum meam, et manete. Et coëgit nos.

16 ¶ And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:

16 Factum est autem euntibus nobis ad orationem, puellam quamdam habentem spiritum pythonem obviare nobis, quæ quæstum magnum præstabat dominis suis divinando.

17 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us

ℵB ⟨you⟩

the way of salvation.

17 Hæc subsecuta Paulum et nos, clamabat dicens: Isti homines servi Dei excelsi sunt, qui annuntiant vobis viam salutis.

18 And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.

18 Hoc autem faciebat multis diebus. Dolens autem Paulus, et conversus, spiritui dixit: Præcipio tibi in nomine Jesu Christi exire ab ea. Et exiit eadem hora.

19 ¶ And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace unto the rulers,

19 Videntes autem domini ejus quia exivit spes quæstus eorum, apprehendentes Paulum et Silam, perduxerunt in forum ad principes:

20 And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,

20 et offerentes eos magistratibus, dixerunt: Hi homines conturbant civitatem nostram, cum sint Judæi:

21 And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans.

21 et annuntiant morem quem non licet nobis suscipere neque facere, cum simus Romani.

22 And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them.

22 ¶ Et cucurrit plebs adversus eos: et magistratus, scissis tunicis eorum, jusserunt eos virgis cædi.

23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:

23 Et cum multas plagas eis imposuissent, miserunt eos in carcerem, præcipientes custodi ut diligenter custodiret eos.

24 Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.

24 Qui cum tale præceptum accepisset, misit eos in interiorem carcerem, et pedes eorum strinxit ligno.

25 ¶ And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.

25 Media autem nocte Paulus et Silas orantes, laudabant Deum: et audiebant eos qui in custodia erant.

26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately

B omit

all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.

26 Subito vero terræmotus factus est magnus, ita ut moverentur fundamenta carceris. Et statim aperta sunt omnia ostia: et universorum vincula soluta sunt.

27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.

27 Expergefactus autem custos carceris, et videns januas apertas carceris, evaginato gladio volebat se interficere, æstimans fugisse vinctos.

28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.

28 Clamavit autem Paulus voce magna, dicens: Nihil tibi mali feceris: universi enim hic sumus.

29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,

29 Petitoque lumine, introgressus est: et tremefactus procidit Paulo et Silæ ad pedes:

30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

30 et producens eos foras, ait: Domini, quid me oportet facere, ut salvus fiam?

31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ

ℵBA omit

, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

31 At illi dixerunt: Crede in Dominum Jesum, et salvus eris tu, et domus tua.

32 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to

ℵBA ⟨with⟩

all that were in his house.

32 Et locuti sunt ei verbum Domini cum omnibus qui erant in domo ejus.

33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his

A ⟨his family⟩

, straightway.

33 Et tollens eos in illa hora noctis, lavit plagas eorum: et baptizatus est ipse, et omnis domus ejus continuo.

34 And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.

34 Cumque perduxisset eos in domum suam, apposuit eis mensam, et lætatus est cum omni domo sua credens Deo.

35 And when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.

35 ¶ Et cum dies factus esset, miserunt magistratus lictores, dicentes: Dimitte homines illos.

36 And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go in peace.

36 Nuntiavit autem custos carceris verba hæc Paulo: Quia miserunt magistratus ut dimittamini: nunc igitur exeuntes, ite in pace.

37 But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and fetch us out.

37 Paulus autem dixit eis: Cæsos nos publice, indemnatos homines Romanos, miserunt in carcerem: et nunc occulte nos ejiciunt? Non ita: sed veniant,

38 And the serjeants told these words unto the magistrates: and

ℵBA ⟨but⟩

they feared, when they heard that they were Romans.

38 et ipsi nos ejiciant. Nuntiaverunt autem magistratibus lictores verba hæc. Timueruntque audito quod Romani essent:

39 And they came and besought them, and brought them out, and desired them to depart out of the city.

39 et venientes deprecati sunt eos, et educentes rogabant ut egrederentur de urbe.

40 And they went out of the prison, and entered into the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.

40 Exeuntes autem de carcere, introierunt ad Lydiam: et visis fratribus consolati sunt eos, et profecti sunt.
