Acts 16:11-15

The Conversion of Lydia

¹¹ So, setting sail from Troas, we _n made a direct voyage to Samothrace, and the following day to Neapolis, ¹² and from there to _o Philippi, which is a leading city of the ₁ district of Macedonia and _p a Roman colony. We remained in this city some days. ¹³ And _q on the Sabbath day we went outside the gate _r to the riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, and we _s sat down and spoke to the women who had come together. ¹⁴ One who heard us was a woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, a seller of purple goods, _t who was a worshiper of God. The Lord _u opened her heart to pay attention to what was said by Paul. ¹⁵ And after she was baptized, _v and her household as well, she urged us, saying, "If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come to my house and stay." And she _w prevailed upon us.
