16:10  Ut autem visum vidit, statim quæsivimus proficisci in Macedoniam, certi facti quod vocasset nos Deus evangelizare eis.

16:10  And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.

16:11  Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis;

16:18  Hoc autem faciebat multis diebus. Dolens autem Paulus, et conversus, spiritui dixit : Præcipio tibi in nomine Jesu Christi exire ab ea. Et exiit eadem hora.

16:18  And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.

16:19  But her masters, seeing that the hope of their gain was gone, apprehending Paul and Silas, brought them into the market place to the rulers.

16:19  Videntes autem domini ejus quia exivit spes quæstus eorum, apprehendentes Paulum et Silam, perduxerunt in forum ad principes :

16:20  And presenting them to the magistrates, they said: These men disturb our city, being Jews:

16:20  et offerentes eos magistratibus, dixerunt : Hi homines conturbant civitatem nostram, cum sint Judæi :

16:20  And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,

16:21  And preach a fashion which it is not lawful for us to receive nor observe, being Romans.

16:25  And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.

16:26  And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately all the doors were opened and the bands of all were loosed.

16:26  And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.

16:27  And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.

16:28  Clamavit autem Paulus voce magna, dicens : Nihil tibi mali feceris : universi enim hic sumus.

16:28  But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.

16:29  Then calling for a light, he went in: and trembling, fell down at the feet of Paul and Silas.

16:29  Petitoque lumine, introgressus est : et tremefactus procidit Paulo et Silæ ad pedes :

16:29  Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,

16:30  And bringing them out, he said: Masters, what must I do, that I may be saved?

16:30  et producens eos foras, ait : Domini, quid me oportet facere, ut salvus fiam ?

16:30  And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

16:32  And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.

16:33  And he, taking them the same hour of the night, washed their stripes: and himself was baptized, and all his house immediately.

16:33  And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.

16:34  And when he had brought them into his own house, he laid the table for them: and rejoiced with all his house, believing God.

16:34  Cumque perduxisset eos in domum suam, apposuit eis mensam, et lætatus est cum omni domo sua credens Deo.

16:34  And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.

16:35  And when the day was come, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying: Let those men go.

16:35  Et cum dies factus esset, miserunt magistratus lictores, dicentes : Dimitte homines illos.

16:35  And when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.

16:36  And the keeper of the prison told these words to Paul: The magistrates have sent to let you go. Now therefore depart. And go in peace.

16:36  Nuntiavit autem custos carceris verba hæc Paulo : Quia miserunt magistratus ut dimittamini : nunc igitur exeuntes, ite in pace.

16:36  And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go in peace.

16:37  But Paul said to them: They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men that are Romans, and have cast us into prison. And now do they thrust us out privately? Not so: but let them come.

16:37  Paulus autem dixit eis : Cæsos nos publice, indemnatos homines Romanos, miserunt in carcerem : et nunc occulte nos ejiciunt ? Non ita : sed veniant,

16:37  But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and fetch us out.

16:38  And let us out themselves. And the serjeants told these words to the magistrates. And they were afraid: hearing that they were Romans.

16:38  et ipsi nos ejiciant. Nuntiaverunt autem magistratibus lictores verba hæc. Timueruntque audito quod Romani essent :

16:38  And the serjeants told these words unto the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans.

16:39  And coming, they besought them: and bringing them out, they desired them to depart out of the city.

16:39  et venientes deprecati sunt eos, et educentes rogabant ut egrederentur de urbe.

16:39  And they came and besought them, and brought them out, and desired them to depart out of the city.

16:40  And they went out of the prison and entered into the house of Lydia: and having seen the brethren, they comforted them and departed.

16:40  Exeuntes autem de carcere, introierunt ad Lydiam : et visis fratribus consolati sunt eos, et profecti sunt.
