TSNTyndale Study Notes:

16:6-10 God directed the missionaries’ travels: The Holy Spirit had prevented them from proceeding westward into the province of Asia, the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them to go north to Bithynia, and then Paul had a vision calling them to go northwest over the Aegean Sea to Macedonia. God’s Spirit guided his servants in Acts in a variety of ways, including divine visions (see also 9:10; 10:9-16; 22:18), direct intuition (cp. 8:29, 39; 10:19; 20:22), counsel with other believers (cp. 15:29), guidance through prayer (13:2, 4), insight through Scripture (28:25-27), and prophecy (11:28). Guidance by the indwelling Holy Spirit helped them to accomplish their mission to be Christ’s witnesses (1:8; see also 4:8, 31; 11:24; 13:9).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-names

Μυσίαν & Βιθυνίαν

˱to˲_Mysia & Bithynia

The words Mysia and Bithynia are the names of two more regions in Asia Minor.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸ Πνεῦμα Ἰησοῦ

the Spirit ˱of˲_Jesus

Luke assumes that his readers will know that by the Spirit of Jesus, he means the Holy Spirit. You can use that name instead if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “the Holy Spirit”
