Acts 16:6-8
New Catholic Bible
6 They traveled through the region of Phrygia[a] and Galatia because they had been told by the Holy Spirit not to preach the word in the province of Asia. 7 When they approached the border of Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but since the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them to do so, 8 they passed through Mysia and came down to Troas.[b]

Galatian Phrygia contained both Iconium and Antioch. Asia included Mysia, Lydia, and Caria in addition to parts of Phrygia.
- Acts 16:8 Troas: a Roman colony and an important seaport 10 miles from the ancient city of Troy. Paul returned to it after his third missionary journey (Acts 20:5-12).
