Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Acts 16:12-15

12From there we went to the Roman colony of Philippi, the leading city of that district of Macedonia. And we stayed there several days.
13On the Sabbath we went outside the city gate along the river, where it was customary to find a place of prayer. After sitting down, we spoke to the women who had gathered there.
14Among those listening was a woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth from the city of Thyatira, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul’s message.
15And when she and her household had been baptized, she urged us, “If you consider me a believer in the Lord, come and stay at my house.” And she persuaded us.
— Acts 16:12-15
