River near Philippi
Acts
16:12-40
By a river near Philippi a woman named Lydia heard Paul's message and was baptized. Later, a slave girl who had a spirit of divination followed Paul to the river, crying out that Paul was a slave of the Most High God. Paul cast out the demon.
Context: A small river flows near the city of Philippi. Near the river was a place of prayer, which was probably a synagogue. There Paul met Lydia, who was a cloth merchant from Thyatira in Asia Minor. After coming to faith and being baptized, she invited Paul and Silas to stay in her home.
