6 Now when they had gone throughout Phryg´i-a and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia,
7 after they were come to My´si-a, they assayed to go into Bithyn´i-a: but the Spirit suffered them not.
8 And they passing by My´si-a came down to Tro´as.
9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedo´nia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedo´nia, and help us.
10 And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavored to go into Macedo´nia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.
11 Therefore loosing from Tro´as, we came with a straight course to Samothra´cia, and the next day to Ne-ap´olis;
12 and from thence to Phil´ippi, which is the chief city of that part of Macedo´nia, and a colony: and we were in that city abiding certain days.
