11Into Europe. We set sail from Troas, making a straight run for Samothrace, and on the next day to Neapolis, 12and from there to Philippi, a leading city in that district of Macedonia and a Roman colony. We spent some time in that city. 13On the sabbath we went outside the city gate along the river where we thought there would be a place of prayer. We sat and spoke with the women who had gathered there. 14One of them, a woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth, from the city of Thyatira, a worshiper of God, listened, and the Lord opened her heart to pay attention to what Paul was saying. 15After she and her household had been baptized, she offered us an invitation, “If you consider me a believer in the Lord, come and stay at my home,” and she prevailed on us.

1Psalm 149 Praise God with Song and Sword - Hallelujah! Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of the faithful. 2Let Israel be glad in its maker, the people of Zion rejoice in their king. 3Let them praise his name in dance, make music with tambourine and lyre. 4For the LORD takes delight in his people, honors the poor with victory. 5Let the faithful rejoice in their glory, cry out for joy on their couches, 6With the praise of God in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hands, 9To execute the judgments decreed for them— such is the glory of all God’s faithful. Hallelujah!

26“When the Advocate comes whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth that proceeds from the Father, he will testify to me. 27And you also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning. 1“I have told you this so that you may not fall away. 2They will expel you from the synagogues; in fact, the hour is coming when everyone who kills you will think he is offering worship to God. 3They will do this because they have not known either the Father or me. 4I have told you this so that when their hour comes you may remember that I told you. Jesus’ Departure; Coming of the Advocate. “I did not tell you this from the beginning, because I was with you.
