New American Standard Bible
9 (A)And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: a man of (B)Macedonia was standing and pleading with him, and saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.” 10 When he had seen (C)the vision, (D)we immediately sought to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to (E)preach the gospel to them.
11 So after setting sail from (F)Troas, we ran (G)a straight course to Samothrace, and on the following day to Neapolis; 12 and from there to (H)Philippi, which is a leading city of the district of (I)Macedonia, (J)a Roman colony; and we were spending some days in this city.
