6 Now passing through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia;
7 after they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit suffered them not.
8 And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas.
9 And a vision was shown to Paul in the night: There stood a man of Macedonia, asking him, saying, Come over into Macedonia and help us.
10 And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel unto them.
11 Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis,
12 and from there to Philippi, which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia, and a colony; and we were in that city abiding certain days.
