Acts 16:6-10

The Macedonian Call

6 And 1they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.
7 And when they had come up to Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia, but 2the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them.
8 So, passing by Mysia, they went down 3to Troas.
9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: a man of Macedonia was standing there, urging him and saying, "Come over to Macedonia and help us."
10 And when Paul[a] had seen the vision, immediately 4we sought to go on into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.
