others send greetings to the Yisraelite brothers, which
are of the nations in Antioch and Syria and Cilikia:
24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went
out from us have troubled you with words, subverting
your beings, saying, You must receive brit-milah first,
and keep the Torah immediately: to whom we gave no
such commandment:
25 It seemed tov to us, being assembled as echad, to send
chosen men to you with our beloved Bar-Nava and Shaul,
26 Men that have risked their chayim for the Name of our
Master gauvh ha Moshiach.
27 We have sent therefore Yahudah and Sila, who shall
also tell you the same things by mouth.
28 For it seemed tov to the Ruach Hakodesh, and to us, to
lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary
initial things;
29 That you abstain from meats offered to idols, and from
dahm, and from things strangled, and from fornication: if
you guard yourselves regarding these, you shall do well.
Be strong!
30 So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch:
and when they had gathered the multitude together, they
delivered the letter:
31 Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the
encouragement.
32 And Yahudah and Sila, being neviim also themselves,
exhorted the Yisraelite brothers with many words, and
confirmed them.
33 And after they had stayed a while, they were let go in
shalom from the Yisraelite brothers back to the shlichim.
34 But it pleased Sila to stay there still.
35 Shaul also and Bar-Nava continued in Antioch,
teaching and proclaiming the word of vuvh, with many
others also.
36 And some days later Shaul said to Bar-Nava, Let us go
again and visit our Yisraelite brothers in every city where
we have proclaimed the word of vuvh, and see how they
are doing.
37 And Bar-Nava determined to take with them
Yochanan, whose surname was Moshe-Markus.
38 But Shaul thought it not tov to take him with them,
because he departed from them from Pamphylia, and
continued not with them in the work.
39 And the contention was so sharp between them that
they departed after separating from each other: and so
Bar-Nava took Moshe-Markus, and sailed to Cyprus;
40 And Shaul chose Sila, and departed, being
recommended by the Yisraelite brothers to the favor of
vuvh.
41 And he went through Syria and Cilikia, confirming the
congregations of Yisrael.
Then he came to Derbe and Lustra: and, see, a
certain talmid was there, named Timtheous, the son of a
certain woman, who was a Yahudi, and believed; but his
abba was an Aramean:
2 Which was well reported of by the Yisraelite brothers
that were at Lustra and Ikoniom.
3 Shaul desired to have him travel with him; and took him
and conducted brit-milah for him because of the Yahudim
who were in those quarters: 5336 16
for they all knew that his
abba was an Aramean.
4 And as they went through the cities, they delivered to

them the decrees to keep that were ordained by the
shlichim and zechanim who were at Yahrushalayim.
5 And so the congregations of Yisrael were established in
the emunah, and increased in number daily.
6 Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the
region of Galutyah, they were forbidden by the Ruach
Hakodesh to proclaim the word in Asia Minor, 5337
7 After they were come to Mysia, they desired to go into
Bitunyah: but the Ruach did not allow them.
8 And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas.
9 And a vision appeared to Shaul in the night; There
stood a man of Makedonia, and begged him, saying,
Come over into Makedonia, and help us. 5338
10 And after he had seen the vision, immediately we
sought to go into Makedonia, knowing for sure that vuvh
had called us to proclaim the Besorah to them.
11 We left Troas; we came with a straight course to
Samothrake, and the next day to Neapolis;
12 And from there to Philippi, which is the main city of
that part of Makedonia, and a colony: 5339 and we were in
that city abiding certain days.
13 And on the Shabbat we went out of the city by a
riverside, where tefillah was always made; and we sat
down, and spoke to the women who assembled there: 5340
14 And a certain woman named Lydyah, a seller of
purple, from the city of Thyatira, who worshipped vuvh,
5341 listened to us: whose lev vuvh opened, that she
received those things that were spoken of by Shaul.
15 And when she was immersed, and her household, she
asked us, saying, If you have judged me to be faithful to
vuvh, come into my bayit, and stay there. And she urged
us.
16 And it came to pass, as we went to Shabbat tefillot, a
certain young girl possessed with an unclean ruach of
divination met us, who brought her masters much profit
by fortune telling:
17 The same followed Shaul and us, and cried, saying,
These men are the avadim of El-Elyon, who show to us
the derech of salvation.
18 And this she did many days. But Shaul, being
disturbed, turned and said to the unclean ruach, I
command you in the Name of gauvh ha Moshiach to
come out of her. And it came out the same hour.
19 And when her masters saw that the ongoing possibility
of further gain was gone, they caught Shaul and Sila, and
dragged them into the marketplace to the rulers,
20 And brought them to the authorities, saying, These
men, being Yahudim, do exceedingly trouble our city,
21 And teach customs, 5342 which are not lawful for us to
receive, neither to observe, being Romayim. 5343
22 And the multitude rose up together against them: and
the authorities tore off their clothes, and commanded to
beat them.
23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they
cast them into prison, commanding that the prison guard
keep them safely:
24 Who, having received such a charge, threw them into
the inner prison, and made their feet secure in the stocks.
25 And at midnight Shaul and Sila made tefillah, and
sang tehillim to vuvh: and the prisoners heard them.
26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the
foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately
all the doors were opened, and everyone’s chains
