13And 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.  14And a
certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us:
whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul.
 15And when she was baptized, and her household,
she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide
there. And she constrained us. (Acts
16:13-15, King James
Version)
