Hechos 16

La Biblia Reina-Valera (Español) RVR

1 DESPUÉS llegó á Derbe, y á Listra: y he aquí, estaba allí un discípulo llamado Timoteo, hijo de una mujer Judía fiel, mas de padre Griego.

2 De éste daban buen testimonio los hermanos que estaban en Listra y en Iconio.

3 Este quiso Pablo que fuese con él; y tomándole, le circuncidó por causa de los Judíos que estaban en aquellos lugares; porque todos sabían que su padre era Griego.

4 Y como pasaban por las ciudades, les daban que guardasen los decretos que habían sido determinados por los apóstoles y los ancianos que estaban en Jerusalem.

5 Así que, las iglesias eran confirmadas en fe, y eran aumentadas en número cada día.

6 Y pasando á Phrygia y la provincia de Galacia, les fué prohibido por el Espíritu Santo hablar la palabra en Asia.

7 Y como vinieron á Misia, tentaron de ir á Bithynia; mas el Espíritu no les dejó.

8 Y pasando á Misia, descendieron á Troas.

9 Y fué mostrada á Pablo de noche una visión: Un varón Macedonio se puso delante, rogándole, y diciendo: Pasa á Macedonia, y ayúdanos.

10 Y como vió la visión, luego procuramos partir á Macedonia, dando por cierto que Dios nos llamaba para que les anunciásemos el evangelio.

11 Partidos pues de Troas, vinimos camino derecho á Samotracia, y el día siguiente á Neápolis;

12 Y de allí á Filipos, que es la primera ciudad de la parte de Macedonia, y una colonia; y estuvimos en aquella ciudad algunos días.

13 Y un día de sábado salimos de la puerta junto al río, donde solía ser la oración; y sentándonos, hablamos á las mujeres que se habían juntado.

14 Entonces una mujer llamada Lidia, que vendía púrpura en la ciudad de Tiatira, temerosa de Dios, estaba oyendo; el corazón de la cual abrió el Señor para que estuviese atenta á lo que Pablo decía.

15 Y cuando fué bautizada, y su familia, nos rogó, diciendo: Si habéis juzgado que yo sea fiel al Señor, entrad en mi casa, y posad: y constriñónos.

16 Y aconteció, que yendo nosotros á la oración, una muchacha que tenía espíritu pitónico, nos salió al encuentro, la cual daba grande ganancia á sus amos adivinando.

17 Esta, siguiendo á Pablo y á nosotros, daba voces, diciendo: Estos hombres son siervos del Dios Alto, los cuales os anuncian el camino de salud.

18 Y esto hacía por muchos días; mas desagradando á Pablo, se volvió y dijo al espíritu: Te mando en el nombre de Jesucristo, que salgas de ella. Y salió en la misma hora.

19 Y viendo sus amos que había salido la esperanza de su ganancia, prendieron á Pablo y á Silas, y los trajeron al foro, al magistrado;

20 Y presentándolos á los magistrados, dijeron: Estos hombres, siendo Judíos, alborotan nuestra ciudad,

21 Y predican ritos, los cuales no nos es lícito recibir ni hacer, pues somos Romanos.

22 Y agolpóse el pueblo contra ellos: y los magistrados rompiéndoles sus ropas, les mandaron azotar con varas.

23 Y después que los hubieron herido de muchos azotes, los echaron en la cárcel, mandando al carcelero que los guardase con diligencia:

24 El cual, recibido este mandamiento, los metió en la cárcel de más adentro; y les apretó los pies en el cepo.

25 Mas á media noche, orando Pablo y Silas, cantaban himnos á Dios: y los que estaban presos los oían.

26 Entonces fué hecho de repente un gran terremoto, de tal manera que los cimientos de la cárcel se movían; y luego todas las puertas se abrieron, y las prisiones de todos soltaron.

27 Y despertado el carcelero, como vió abiertas las puertas de la cárcel, sacando la espada se quería matar, pensando que los presos se habían huído.

28 Mas Pablo clamó á gran voz, diciendo: No te hagas ningún mal; que todos estamos aquí.

29 El entonces pidiendo luz, entró dentro, y temblando, derribóse á los pies de Pablo y de Silas;

30 Y sacándolos fuera, le dice: Señores, ¿qué es menester que yo haga para ser salvo?

31 Y ellos dijeron: Cree en el Señor Jesucristo, y serás salvo tú, y tu casa.

32 Y le hablaron la palabra del Señor, y á todos los que estan en su casa.

33 Y tomándolos en aquella misma hora de la noche, les lavó los azotes; y se bautizó luego él, y todos los suyos.

34 Y llevándolos á su casa, les puso la mesa: y se gozó de que con toda su casa había creído á Dios.

35 Y como fué, día, los magistrados enviaron los alguaciles, diciendo: Deja ir á aquellos hombres.

36 Y el carcelero hizo saber estas palabras á Pablo: Los magistrados han enviado á decir que seás sueltos: así que ahora salid, é id en paz.

37 Entonces Pablo les dijo: Azotados públicamente sin ser condenados, siendo hombres Romanos, nos echaron en la cárcel; y ¿ahora nos echan encubiertamente? No, de cierto, sino vengan ellos y sáquennos.

38 Y los alguaciles volvieron á decir á los magistrados estas palabras: y tuvieron miedo, oído que eran Romanos.

39 Y viniendo, les rogaron; y sacándolos, les pidieron que se saliesen de la ciudad.

40 Entonces salidos de la cárcel, entraron en casa de Lidia; y habiendo visto á los hermanos, los consolaron, y se salieron.

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 Paul arrived in the city of Derbe and then went to Lystra, where a disciple named Timothy lived. Timothy's mother was a Jewish believer, but his father was Greek.

2 The believers in Lystra and Iconium spoke well of Timothy.

3 Paul wanted Timothy to go with him. So he circumcised him because of the Jews who lived in those places and because he knew that Timothy's father was Greek.

4 As they went through the cities, they told people about the decisions that the apostles and spiritual leaders in Jerusalem had made for the people.

5 So the churches were strengthened in the faith and grew in numbers every day.

6 Paul and Silas went through the regions of Phrygia and Galatia because the Holy Spirit kept them from speaking the word in the province of Asia.

7 They went to the province of Mysia and tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus wouldn't allow this.

8 So they passed by Mysia and went to the city of Troas.

9 During the night Paul had a vision of a man from Macedonia. The man urged Paul, "Come to Macedonia to help us."

10 As soon as Paul had seen the vision, we immediately looked for a way to go to Macedonia. We concluded that God had called us to tell the people of Macedonia about the Good News.

11 So we took a ship from Troas and sailed straight to the island of Samothrace. The next day we sailed to the city of Neapolis,

12 and from there we went to the city of Philippi. Philippi is a leading city in that part of Macedonia, and it is a Roman colony. We were in this city for a number of days.

13 On the day of worship we went out of the city to a place along the river where we thought Jewish people gathered for prayer. We sat down and began talking to the women who had gathered there.

14 A woman named Lydia was present. She was a convert to Judaism from the city of Thyatira and sold purple dye for a living. She was listening because the Lord made her willing to pay attention to what Paul said.

15 When Lydia and her family were baptized, she invited us to stay at her home. She said, "If you're convinced that I believe in the Lord, then stay at my home." She insisted. So we did.

16 One day when we were going to the place of prayer, a female servant met us. She was possessed by an evil spirit that told fortunes. She made a lot of money for her owners by telling fortunes.

17 She used to follow Paul and shout, "These men are servants of the Most High God. They're telling you how you can be saved."

18 She kept doing this for many days. Paul became annoyed, turned to the evil spirit, and said, "I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!" As Paul said this, the evil spirit left her.

19 When her owners realized that their hope of making money was gone, they grabbed Paul and Silas and dragged them to the authorities in the public square.

20 In front of the Roman officials, they said, "These men are stirring up a lot of trouble in our city. They're Jews,

21 and they're advocating customs that we can't accept or practice as Roman citizens."

22 The crowd joined in the attack against Paul and Silas. Then the officials tore the clothes off Paul and Silas and ordered [the guards] to beat them with sticks.

23 After they had hit Paul and Silas many times, they threw them in jail and ordered the jailer to keep them under tight security.

24 So the jailer followed these orders and put Paul and Silas into solitary confinement with their feet in leg irons.

25 Around midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns of praise to God. The other prisoners were listening to them.

26 Suddenly, a violent earthquake shook the foundations of the jail. All the doors immediately flew open, and all the prisoners' chains came loose.

27 The jailer woke up and saw the prison doors open. Thinking the prisoners had escaped, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself.

28 But Paul shouted as loudly as he could, "Don't hurt yourself! We're all here!"

29 The jailer asked for torches and rushed into the jail. He was trembling as he knelt in front of Paul and Silas.

30 Then he took Paul and Silas outside and asked, "Sirs, what do I have to do to be saved?"

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

32 They spoke the Lord's word to the jailer and everyone in his home.

33 At that hour of the night, the jailer washed Paul and Silas' wounds. The jailer and his entire family were baptized immediately.

34 He took Paul and Silas upstairs into his home and gave them something to eat. He and his family were thrilled to be believers in God.

35 In the morning the Roman officials sent guards who told the jailer, "You can release those men now."

36 The jailer reported this order to Paul by saying, "The officials have sent word to release you. So you can leave peacefully now."

37 But Paul told the guards, "Roman officials have had us beaten publicly without a trial and have thrown us in jail, even though we're Roman citizens. Now are they going to throw us out secretly? There's no way they're going to get away with that! Have them escort us out!"

38 The guards reported to the officials what Paul had said. When the Roman officials heard that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens, they were afraid.

39 So the officials went to the jail and apologized to Paul and Silas. As the officials escorted Paul and Silas out of the jail, they asked them to leave the city.

40 After Paul and Silas left the jail, they went to Lydia's house. They met with the believers, encouraged them, and then left.
