Acts 16:6-10

Paul’s Vision of a Man of Macedonia

6 And they traveled through the Phrygian and Galatian region, having been prevented by the Holy Spirit from speaking the message in Asia.
7 And [when they] came to Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia, and the Spirit of Jesus did not permit them.
8 So going through Mysia, they went down to Troas.
9 And a vision appeared to Paul during the night: a certain Macedonian man was standing there and imploring him and saying, "Come over to Macedonia [and] help us!"
10 And when he had seen the vision, we wanted at once to go away to Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to proclaim the good news to them.
