Acts 15:35 — Acts 16:10

35 And Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and announcing the word of the Lord as the gospel with many others also.

36 Now after some days Paul said to Barnabas, Let us return now and visit the brothers in every city in which we announced the word of the Lord, and see how they are doing.

37 And Barnabas intended to take John, who is called Mark, along with them also;

38 But Paul did not consider it suitable to take with them this one who withdrew from them in Pamphylia and did not go with them to the work.

39 And there was a sharp contention, so that they separated from each other; and Barnabas, taking Mark along, sailed away to Cyprus.

40 But Paul chose Silas and went out, having been commended to the grace of the Lord by the brothers.

41 And he passed through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches.

CHAPTER 16
1 And he came also to Derbe and to Lystra. And behold, a certain disciple named Timothy was there, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer, but of a Greek father;

2 He was well attested to by the brothers in Lystra and Iconium.

3 Paul wanted this one to go forth with him; and he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those places, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

4 And as they went through the cities, they delivered to them the decrees to keep which had been decided upon by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem.

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

6 And they passed through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.

7 And when they had come to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, yet the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them.

8 And bypassing Mysia, they came down to Troas.

9 And a vision appeared to Paul during the night: A certain man, a Macedonian, was standing and entreating him and saying, Come over into Macedonia and help us.

10 And when he had seen the vision, we immediately endeavored to go forth into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to announce the gospel to them.
