Acts 16:11-15

Lydia’s Conversion in Philippi

11 We sailed from Troas straight to Samothrace, and the following day on to Neapolis. ¹

12 From there we went to the Roman colony of Philippi, the leading city of that district of Macedonia. ^[a] And we stayed there several days.

13 On the Sabbath we went outside the city gate along the river, where it was customary to find a place of prayer. After sitting down, we spoke to the women who had gathered there.

14 Among those listening was a woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth from the city of Thyatira, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul’s message.

15 And when she and her household had been baptized, she urged us, “If you consider me a believer in the Lord, come and stay at my house.” And she persuaded us.
