Acts 16:6-10

Evangelization of Europe

6 They went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia and were prevented by the Holy Spirit from speaking the message in the province of Asia.

7 When they came to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them.

8 So, bypassing Mysia, they came down to Troas.

9 During the night a vision appeared to Paul: a Macedonian man was standing and pleading with him, "Cross over to Macedonia and help us!"

10 After he had seen the vision, we^[a] immediately made efforts to set out for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to evangelize them.
