ACTS 16:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.”
During the night Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and begging him, 'Come over to Macedonia and help us' — the vision (horama) at night represents a direct divine communication, more vivid than the Spirit's previous constraints. The Macedonian figure appeals (parakaleō, to beseech) for aid, personalizing the geographic call into human need. The phrase help us (boētheō) suggests the mission's purpose: to assist spiritually afflicted pagans.
