    10After Paul saw the vision, we attempted immediately to go over to Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to proclaim the good news to them.

    11Arrival at Philippi We put out to sea from Troas and sailed a straight course to Samothrace, the next day to Neapolis,

    12and from there to Philippi, which is a leading city of that district of Macedonia, a Roman colony. We stayed in this city for some days.

    13On the Sabbath day we went outside the city gate to the side of the river, where we thought there would be a place of prayer, and we sat down and began to speak to the women who had assembled there.

    14A woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth from the city of Thyatira, a God-fearing woman, listened to us. The Lord opened her heart to respond to what Paul was saying.

    15After she and her household were baptized, she urged us,“If you consider me to be a believer in the Lord, come and stay in my house.” And she persuaded us.
