⁴² As ^[a]Paul and Barnabas were going out, the people repeatedly begged to have these ^[b]things spoken to them the next ^(A)Sabbath. ⁴³ Now when the meeting of the synagogue had broken up, many of the Jews and the ^(B)God-fearing ^[c](C)proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who were speaking to them and urging them to continue in ^(D)the grace of God.

Paul Turns to the Gentiles

⁴⁴ The next ^(E)Sabbath nearly all the city assembled to hear the word of ^[d]the Lord.

² And ^(A)according to Paul’s custom, he ^[a]visited them, and for three ^(B)Sabbaths reasoned with them from ^(C)the Scriptures,

¹² and from there to ^(A)Philippi, which is a leading city of the district of ^(B)Macedonia, ^(C)a Roman colony; and we were spending some days in this city.

¹³ And on ^(A)the Sabbath day we went outside the gate to a riverside, where we were thinking that there was a place of prayer; and we sat down and began speaking to the women who had assembled.

⁴ And Paul was reasoning ^(A)in the synagogue every ^(B)Sabbath and trying to persuade ^(C)Jews and Greeks.
