In context
11So we put out from Troas and ran a straight course to Samothrace, and the next day to Neapolis, 12and from there to Philippi, a Roman colony and a leading city of that district of Macedonia. We stayed in that city for some days. 13On the Sabbath we went outside the gate to the riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, and we sat down and spoke to the women who had gathered there. 14One of them, a woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth from the city of Thyatira, was a worshiper of God, and the Lord opened her heart to attend to what Paul was saying. 15When she and her household had been baptized, she urged us, “If you have judged me faithful to the Lord, come and stay at my house.” And she would not take no for an answer.
