First Reading
Acts 16:1-10
Read this as the first big movement of the day. Notice what God is doing, who is speaking, and what part of the story or teaching should stay with you.
16:1And he came to Derbe and Lystra. And look, there was a certain disciple there named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman that believed; but his father was a Gentile.
2To this man the brothers and sisters that were in Lystra and Iconium, gave a good teaching.
3Him Paul would have to go along with him: and taking him he circumcised him, because of the Jews who were in those places. For they all knew that his father was a Gentile.
4And as they passed through the cities, they gave to them the commands for to keep, that were decreed by the apostles and leaders who were at Jerusalem.
5And the churches were confirmed in faith, and increased in number daily.
6And when they had passed through Phrygia, and the country of Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia.
7And when they were come into Mysia, they attempted to go into Bythynia, and the Spirit of Jesus suffered them not.
8And when they had passed through Mysia, they went down to Troas.
9And a vision was showed to Paul in the night, which was a man of Macedonia standing and beseeching him, and saying: Pass over into Macedonia, and help us.
10And as soon as he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go into Macedonia, being assured that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.
