Acts 16:11-15

The Conversion of Lydia

11 So, setting sail from Troas, we ¹made a direct voyage to Samothrace, and the following day to Neapolis,

12 and from there to ²Philippi, which is a leading city of the^[a] district of Macedonia and ³a Roman colony. We remained in this city some days.

13 And ⁴on the Sabbath day we went outside the gate ⁵to the riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, and we ⁶sat 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, ⁷who was a worshiper of God. The Lord ⁸opened her heart to pay attention to what was said by Paul.

15 And after she was baptized, ⁹and 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 ¹⁰prevailed upon us.
