Acts 16:7

Acts 16:7

After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not.

a. NLT: Then coming to the borders of Mysia, they headed north for the province of Bithynia,fn but again the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them to go there.

b. NIV: When they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them to.

c. Amplified Bible: And when they had come opposite Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not permit them.

1. “After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia…”

a. Saint Paul The Traveller And Roman Citizen, William M. Ramsay, pp 194, 195. “They therefore kept to the north across the Asian Phrygia with the intention of entering the adjoining Roman province Bithynia; but when they came opposite Mysia, and were attempting to go out of Asia into Bithynia, the Spirit of Jesus suffered them not. They therefore kept on towards the west through Mysia, without preaching in it (as it was part of Asia), until they came out on its western coast at the great harbor of Alexandria Troas.”

2.  “…but the Spirit suffered them not.

a. All the translations except the KJV have “the Spirit of Jesus”, while the  has “the Spirit”. This is because the other translations use different Greek texts.
