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 Alors franchissant la Mysie, ils descendirent à Troas.

9 Et Paul eut une vision pendant la nuit: un homme macédonien se tenait debout et le sollicitait, en disant: Passe en Macédoine, et viens nous secourir.

10 Aussitôt après cette vision, nous nous disposâmes à passer en Macédoine, concluant que le Seigneur nous appelait à y annoncer l'Évangile.

11 Étant donc partis de Troas, nous tirâmes droit vers Samothrace, et le lendemain à Néapolis;

12 Et de là à Philippes, qui est une colonie et la première ville de ce quartier de la Macédoine; et nous y séjournâmes quelques jours.
