Actes 16:10 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 16:10

And after he had seen the vision
And considered it, and related it to his companions: and when they had well weighed it, and the circumstances of it:

immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia;
they determined upon it, and took all the proper methods, and made the necessary provisions for it. Here Luke, the writer of this history, first appears, saying, "we endeavoured"; whether he came with the apostle from Antioch, since he is commonly said to have been a physician of Antioch; or whether he met the apostle at Troas, since here is the first hint of him, is not certain:

assuredly gathering, that the Lord had called us for to preach the
Gospel unto them;
they concluded from the vision with great certainty, that they had a manifest call from God to go into Macedonia, and preach the Gospel to the inhabitants of it, not doubting but that they should meet with success. The Alexandrian copy, the Vulgate Latin and Ethiopic versions, read "God", instead of "Lord".

Actes 16:10 In-Context

8 Ils franchirent alors la Mysie, et descendirent à Troas.

9 Pendant la nuit, Paul eut une vision: un Macédonien lui apparut, et lui fit cette prière: Passe en Macédoine, secours-nous!

10 Après cette vision de Paul, nous cherchâmes aussitôt à nous rendre en Macédoine, concluant que le Seigneur nous appelait à y annoncer la bonne nouvelle.

11 Etant partis de Troas, nous fîmes voile directement vers la Samothrace, et le lendemain nous débarquâmes à Néapolis.

12 De là nous allâmes à Philippes, qui est la première ville d'un district de Macédoine, et une colonie. Nous passâmes quelques jours dans cette ville.
