Acts 16:8

When they had arrived, and had gathered the assembly together, they reported all the things that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith to the nations.

When he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. This was during the days of unleavened bread.

Now when I came to Troas for the Good News of Christ, and when a door was opened to me in the Lord,

Bring the cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus when you come, and the books, especially the parchments.

“I know your works (behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one can shut), that you have a little power, and kept my word, and didn’t deny my name.

You shall observe the feast of unleavened bread. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month Abib (for in it you came out of Egypt), and no one shall appear before me empty.

Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;

and from there to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the foremost of the district, a Roman colony. We were staying some days in this city.

But these had gone ahead, and were waiting for us at Troas.

“You shall keep the feast of unleavened bread. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month Abib; for in the month Abib you came out of Egypt.

As he talked with him, he went in and found many gathered together.

for a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.

praying together for us also, that God may open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds,

Be diligent to come before winter. Eubulus salutes you, as do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers.

Take no bag for your journey, neither two coats, nor sandals, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food.

When this sound was heard, the multitude came together and were bewildered, because everyone heard them speaking in his own language.

We sailed away from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and came to them at Troas in five days, where we stayed seven days.

There were many lights in the upper room where we were gathered together.

For Paul had determined to sail past Ephesus, that he might not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hastening, if it were possible for him, to be in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.

When we had departed from them and had set sail, we came with a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.

Having found disciples, we stayed there seven days. These said to Paul through the Spirit that he should not go up to Jerusalem.

On the next day, we who were Paul’s companions departed, and came to Caesarea. We entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.

where we found brothers, and were entreated to stay with them for seven days. So we came to Rome.

Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for the Good News of God,

For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Christ, because it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first, and also for the Greek.

in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of God’s Spirit; so that from Jerusalem, and around as far as to Illyricum, I have fully preached the Good News of Christ;

Even to this present hour we hunger, thirst, are naked, are beaten, and have no certain dwelling place.

Even if our Good News is veiled, it is veiled in those who are dying,

We have sent together with him the brother whose praise in the Good News is known throughout all the assemblies.

seeing that through the proof given by this service, they glorify God for the obedience of your confession to the Good News of Christ and for the generosity of your contribution to them and to all,

For we don’t stretch ourselves too much, as though we didn’t reach to you. For we came even as far as to you with the Good News of Christ,

in labor and travail, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, and in cold and nakedness.

Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ; To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and servants:

but having suffered before and been shamefully treated, as you know, at Philippi, we grew bold in our God to tell you the Good News of God in much conflict.
