Where did Paul and Silas go after leaving northern Greece?
Paul and Silas went to Philippi. On the Sabbath, they went out of the city by a riverside where prayer was wont to be made, because there was no synagogue in Philippi. They sat down and spoke to the women gathered there for devotion.
Les explains that Paul and Silas came down from northern Greece into the city of Philippi. On the Jewish Sabbath, they went out of the city to a riverside where prayer was customarily made, since there was evidently no synagogue in Philippi. A few ladies had gathered, likely Jewish, for a devotional. Among them was Lydia, a seller of purple from Thyatira, a businesswoman who worshipped God but was religious yet lost. Les notes that the Holy Spirit brought the apostle Paul to that place.
And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which resorted thither.
