After Paul<n id="1" /> saw the vision, we attempted<n id="2" /> immediately to go over to Macedonia,<n id="3" /> concluding that God had called<n id="4" /> us to proclaim the good news to them.p>

and from there to Philippi,<n id="1" /> which is a leading city of that district<n id="2" /> of Macedonia,<n id="3" /> a Roman colony.<n id="4" /> We stayed in this city for some days.

So after sending<n id="1" /> two of his assistants,<n id="2" /> Timothy and Erastus, to Macedonia,<n id="3" /> he himself stayed on for a while in the province of Asia.<n id="4" />p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">After the disturbance had ended, Paul sent for the disciples, and after encouraging<n id="1" /> them and saying farewell,<n id="2" /> he left to go to Macedonia.<n id="3" />

where he stayed<n id="1" /> for three months. Because the Jews had made<n id="2" /> a plot<n id="3" /> against him as he was intending<n id="4" /> to sail<n id="5" /> for Syria, he decided<n id="6" /> to return through Macedonia.<n id="7" />

A<n id="1" /> vision appeared to Paul during the night: A Macedonian man was standing there<n id="2" /> urging him,<n id="3" /> &#8220;Come over<n id="4" /> to Macedonia<n id="5" /> and help us!&#8221;

<p class="bodytext">Now when Silas and Timothy arrived<n id="1" /> from Macedonia,<n id="2" /> Paul became wholly absorbed with proclaiming<n id="3" /> the word, testifying<n id="4" /> to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.<n id="5" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now after all these things had taken place,<n id="1" /> Paul resolved<n id="2" /> to go to Jerusalem,<n id="3" /> passing through Macedonia<n id="4" /> and Achaia.<n id="5" /> He said,<n id="6" /> &#8220;After I have been there, I must also see Rome.&#8221;<n id="7" />
