Hechos 16

La Biblia de las Américas (Español) BLA

1 Llegó también a Derbe y a Listra. Y estaba allí cierto discípulo llamado Timoteo, hijo de una mujer judía creyente, pero de padre griego,

2 del cual hablaban elogiosamente los hermanos que estaban en Listra y en Iconio.

3 Pablo quiso que éste fuera con él, y lo tomó y lo circuncidó por causa de los judíos que había en aquellas regiones, porque todos sabían que su padre era griego.

4 Y conforme pasaban por las ciudades, entregaban los acuerdos tomados por los apóstoles y los ancianos que estaban en Jerusalén, para que los observaran.

5 Así que las iglesias eran confirmadas en la fe, y diariamente crecían en número.

6 Pasaron por la región de Frigia y Galacia, habiendo sido impedidos por el Espíritu Santo de hablar la palabra en Asia,

7 y cuando llegaron a Misia, intentaron ir a Bitinia, pero el Espíritu de Jesús no se lo permitió.

8 Y pasando por Misia, descendieron a Troas.

9 Por la noche se le mostró a Pablo una visión: un hombre de Macedonia estaba de pie, suplicándole y diciendo: Pasa a Macedonia y ayúdanos.

10 Cuando tuvo la visión, enseguida procuramos ir a Macedonia, persuadidos de que Dios nos había llamado para anunciarles el evangelio.

11 Así que, zarpando de Troas, navegamos con rumbo directo a Samotracia, y al día siguiente a Neápolis,

12 y de allí a Filipos, que es una ciudad principal de la provincia de Macedonia, una colonia romana; en esta ciudad nos quedamos por varios días.

13 Y en el día de reposo salimos fuera de la puerta, a la orilla de un río, donde pensábamos que habría un lugar de oración; nos sentamos y comenzamos a hablar a las mujeres que se habían reunido.

14 Y estaba escuchando cierta mujer llamada Lidia, de la ciudad de Tiatira, vendedora de telas de púrpura, que adoraba a Dios; y el Señor abrió su corazón para que recibiera lo que Pablo decía.

15 Cuando ella y su familia se bautizaron, nos rogó, diciendo: Si juzgáis que soy fiel al Señor, venid a mi casa y quedaos en ella. Y nos persuadió a ir.

16 Y sucedió que mientras íbamos al lugar de oración, nos salió al encuentro una muchacha esclava que tenía espíritu de adivinación, la cual daba grandes ganancias a sus amos, adivinando.

17 Esta, siguiendo a Pablo y a nosotros, gritaba diciendo: Estos hombres son siervos del Dios Altísimo, quienes os proclaman el camino de salvación.

18 Y esto lo hacía por muchos días; mas desagradando esto a Pablo, se volvió y dijo al espíritu: ¡Te ordeno, en el nombre de Jesucristo, que salgas de ella! Y salió en aquel mismo momento.

19 Pero cuando sus amos vieron que se les había ido la esperanza de su ganancia, prendieron a Pablo y a Silas, y los arrastraron hasta la plaza, ante las autoridades;

20 y después de haberlos presentado a los magistrados superiores, dijeron: Estos hombres, siendo judíos, alborotan nuestra ciudad,

21 y proclaman costumbres que no nos es lícito aceptar ni observar, puesto que somos romanos.

22 La multitud se levantó a una contra ellos, y los magistrados superiores, rasgándoles sus ropas, ordenaron que los azotaran con varas.

23 Y después de darles muchos azotes, los echaron en la cárcel, ordenando al carcelero que los guardara con seguridad;

24 el cual, habiendo recibido esa orden, los echó en el calabozo interior y les aseguró los pies en el cepo.

25 Como a medianoche, Pablo y Silas oraban y cantaban himnos a Dios, y los presos los escuchaban.

26 De repente se produjo un gran terremoto, de tal manera que los cimientos de la cárcel fueron sacudidos; al instante se abrieron todas las puertas y las cadenas de todos se soltaron.

27 Al despertar el carcelero y ver abiertas todas las puertas de la cárcel, sacó su espada y se iba a matar, creyendo que los prisioneros se habían escapado.

28 Mas Pablo clamó a gran voz, diciendo: No te hagas ningún mal, pues todos estamos aquí.

29 Entonces él pidió luz y se precipitó adentro, y temblando, se postró ante Pablo y Silas,

30 y después de sacarlos, dijo: Señores, ¿qué debo hacer para ser salvo?

31 Ellos respondieron: Cree en el Señor Jesús, y serás salvo, tú y toda tu casa.

32 Y le hablaron la palabra del Señor a él y a todos los que estaban en su casa.

33 Y él los tomó en aquella misma hora de la noche, y les lavó las heridas; enseguida fue bautizado, él y todos los suyos.

34 Llevándolos a su hogar, les dio de comer, y se regocijó grandemente por haber creído en Dios con todos los suyos.

35 Cuando se hizo de día, los magistrados superiores enviaron a sus oficiales, diciendo: Suelta a esos hombres.

36 El carcelero comunicó a Pablo estas palabras, diciendo: Los magistrados superiores han dado orden de que se os suelte. Así que, salid ahora e id en paz.

37 Mas Pablo les dijo: Aunque somos ciudadanos romanos, nos han azotado públicamente sin hacernos juicio y nos han echado a la cárcel; ¿y ahora nos sueltan en secreto? ¡De ninguna manera! Que ellos mismos vengan a sacarnos.

38 Y los oficiales informaron esto a los magistrados superiores, y al saber que eran romanos, tuvieron temor.

39 Entonces vinieron, y les suplicaron, y después de sacarlos, les rogaban que salieran de la ciudad.

40 Cuando salieron de la cárcel, fueron a casa de Lidia, y al ver a los hermanos, los consolaron y partieron.

New American Standard Bible NAS

1 Paul came also to Derbe and to Lystra. And a disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer, but his father was a Greek,

2 and he was well spoken of by the brethren who were in Lystra and Iconium.

3 Paul wanted this man to go with him; and he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

4 Now while they were passing through the cities, they were delivering the decrees which had been decided upon by the apostles and elders who were in Jerusalem, for them to observe.

5 So the churches were being strengthened in the faith, and were increasing in number daily .

6 They passed through the Phrygian and Galatian region, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia;

7 and after they came to Mysia, they were trying to go into Bithynia, and the Spirit of Jesus did not permit them;

8 and passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.

9 A vision appeared to Paul in the night: a man of Macedonia was standing and appealing to him, and saying, "Come over to Macedonia and help us."

10 When he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.

11 So putting out to sea from Troas, we ran a straight course to Samothrace, and on the day following to Neapolis;

12 and from there to Philippi, which is a leading city of the district of Macedonia, a Roman colony; and we were staying in this city for some days.

13 And on the Sabbath day we went outside the gate to a riverside , where we were supposing that there would be a place of prayer; and we sat down and began speaking to the women who had assembled.

14 A woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, a seller of purple fabrics, a worshiper of God, was listening; and the Lord opened her heart to respond to the things spoken by Paul.

15 And when she and her household had been baptized, she urged us, saying, "If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord , come into my house and stay." And she prevailed upon us.

16 It happened that as we were going to the place of prayer, a slave-girl having a spirit of divination met us, who was bringing her masters much profit by fortune-telling.

17 Following after Paul and us, she kept crying out, saying, "These men are bond-servants of the Most High God, who are proclaiming to you the way of salvation."

18 She continued doing this for many days. But Paul was greatly annoyed, and turned and said to the spirit, "I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!" And it came out at that very moment.

19 But when her masters saw that their hope of profit was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the market place before the authorities,

20 and when they had brought them to the chief magistrates, they said, "These men are throwing our city into confusion, being Jews,

21 and are proclaiming customs which it is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being Romans."

22 The crowd rose up together against them, and the chief magistrates tore their robes off them and proceeded to order them to be beaten with rods.

23 When they had struck them with many blows, they threw them into prison, commanding the jailer to guard them securely;

24 and he, having received such a command, threw them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.

25 But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns of praise to God, and the prisoners were listening to them;

26 and suddenly there came a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison house were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were unfastened.

27 When the jailer awoke and saw the prison doors opened, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.

28 But Paul cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Do not harm yourself, for we are all here!"

29 And he called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas,

30 and after he brought them out, he said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"

31 They said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household."

32 And they spoke the word of the Lord to him together with all who were in his house.

33 And he took them that very hour of the night and washed their wounds, and immediately he was baptized, he and all his household.

34 And he brought them into his house and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly, having believed in God with his whole household.

35 Now when day came, the chief magistrates sent their policemen, saying, "Release those men."

36 And the jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, "The chief magistrates have sent to release you. Therefore come out now and go in peace."

37 But Paul said to them, "They have beaten us in public without trial, men who are Romans, and have thrown us into prison; and now are they sending us away secretly? No indeed! But let them come themselves and bring us out."

38 The policemen reported these words to the chief magistrates. They were afraid when they heard that they were Romans,

39 and they came and appealed to them, and when they had brought them out, they kept begging them to leave the city.

40 They went out of the prison and entered the house of Lydia, and when they saw the brethren, they encouraged them and departed.
