Acts 16:10-13

10 After Paul’s dream, the next morning we immediately prepared ourselves for the journey to Macedonia. We decided that God was telling us to go to there. He wanted us to tell the people there the good news about Jesus. ^{▼▼16:10 Luke met Paul, Silas and Timothy in Troas.}

11 We got in a boat at Troas and we sailed across the sea. We went across to an island called Samothrace. The next day, we continued our journey to a port called Neapolis. 12 We then travelled across the land to Philippi. This city is the most important city in the region called Macedonia. The Romans ruled Philippi and many Roman people lived there. We stayed there for a few days. ^{▼▼16:12 Macedonia was in 4 parts. Philippi was in one of these parts.}

13 On the Jewish rest day, we went out of the city gate. We went down to the edge of the river. We thought that the Jews might have a special meeting place there. We thought that they would meet there to pray. We found a group of women who were meeting there. So we sat down and we talked to them. ^{▼▼16:13 Not many Jews were living in Philippi, so they did not have a synagogue. Instead, they met at the side of the river to pray together.}
