Acts of the Apostles, Chapter 20

1 After the uproar had ceased, Paul sent for the disciples, and when he had exhorted them and taken his leave of them, he left to go to Macedonia. 2 When he had gone through those districts and had given them much exhortation, he came to Greece. 3 And there he spent three months, and when a plot was formed against him by the Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he decided to return through Macedonia. 4 Anda Lit there accompanied himhe was accompanied by Sopater of Berea, the son of Pyrrhus, and by Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus ofb I.e. west coast province of Asia MinorAsia. 5 But these had gone on ahead and were waiting for us at Troas. 6 We sailed from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and came to them at Troas within five days; and there we stayed seven days.
7 On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul began talking to them, intending to leave the next day, and he prolonged hisc Lit word, speechmessage until midnight. 8 There were many lamps in the upper room where we were gathered together. 9 And there was a young man namedd Eutychus means Good fortune, i.e. ‘Lucky’Eutychus sittinge Or at the windowon the window sill, sinking into a deep sleep; and as Paul kept on talking, he was overcome by sleep and fell down from the third floor and was picked up dead. 10 But Paul went down and fell upon him, and after embracing him, he said, “f Or Stop being troubledDo not be troubled, for his life is in him.” 11 When he had gone back up and had broken the bread andg Lit tastedeaten, he talked with them a long while until daybreak, and then left. 12 They took away the boy alive, and wereh Lit not moderatelygreatly comforted.
13 But we, going ahead to the ship, set sail for Assos, intending from there to take Paul on board; for so he had arranged it, intending himself to goi Or on footby land. 14 And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and came to Mitylene. 15 Sailing from there, we arrived the following day opposite Chios; and the next day we crossed over to Samos; and the day following we came to Miletus. 16 For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus so that he would not have to spend time inj I.e. west coast province of Asia MinorAsia; for he was hurrying to be in Jerusalem, if possible, on the day of Pentecost.
17 From Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called to him the elders of the church. 18 And when they had come to him, he said to them,
“You yourselves know, from the first day that I set foot ink V 16, note 1Asia, how I was with you the whole time,
 19 serving the Lord with all humility and with tears and with trials which came upon mel Lit bythrough the plots of the Jews; 20 how I did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, and teaching you publicly andm Or in the various private homesfrom house to house, 21 solemnly testifying to both Jews and Greeks of repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. 22 And now, behold, bound by then Or in spiritSpirit, I am on my way to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there, 23 except that the Holy Spirit solemnly testifies to me in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions await me. 24 But I do not consider my life of any account as dear to myself, so that I may finish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify solemnly of the gospel of the grace of God.
25 “And now, behold, I know that all of you, among whom I went about preaching the kingdom, will no longer see my face. 26 Therefore, Io Or call you to witnesstestify to you this day that I amp Lit pure frominnocent of the blood of all men. 27 For I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole purpose of God. 28 Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made youq Or bishopsoverseers, to shepherd the church of God which Her Lit acquiredpurchaseds Lit throughwith His own blood. 29 I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; 30 and from among your own selves men will arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them. 31 Therefore be on the alert, remembering that night and day for a period of three years I did not cease to admonish each one with tears. 32 And now I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified. 33 I have coveted no one’s silver or gold or clothes. 34 You yourselves know that these hands ministered to my own needs and to the men who were with me. 35 In everything I showed you that by working hard in this manner you must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
36 When he had said these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all. 37 Andt Lit a considerable weeping of all occurredthey began to weep aloud andu Lit threw themselves on Paul’s neckembraced Paul, and repeatedly kissed him, 38 v Lit suffering paingrieving especially over the word which he had spoken, that they would not see his face again. And they were accompanying him to the ship.
