The verse where the incident is described with the names of the two people involved is John 18:10.

The story of Lydia's baptism can be found in Acts 16:14-15. In the World English Bible, the verse says: "certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one who worshiped God, heard us; whose heart the Lord opened to listen to the things which were spoken by Paul.

When she and her household were baptized, she begged us, saying, 'If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and stay.' So she persuaded us." In many Christian denominations, Lydia has been declared a saint.
