AC-20:1 And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto [him]
the
disciples, and embraced [them], and departed for to go into
Macedonia.
AC-20:2 And when he had gone over those parts, and had given
them
much exhortation, he came into Greece,
AC-20:3 And [there] abode three months. And when the Jews laid
wait
for him, as he was about to sail into Syria, he purposed to
return
through Macedonia.
AC-20:4 And there accompanied him into Asia Sopater of Berea;
and
of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of
Derbe,
and Timotheus; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.
AC-20:5 These going before tarried for us at Troas.
AC-20:6 And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of
unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days;
where we
abode seven days.
AC-20:7 And upon the first [day] of the week, when the disciples
came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to
depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.
AC-20:8 And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where
they
were gathered together.
AC-20:9 And there sat in a window a certain young man named
Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long
preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third
loft, and was taken up dead.
AC-20:10 And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing
[him]
said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.
AC-20:11 When he therefore was come up again, and had broken
bread,
and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he
departed.
AC-20:12 And they brought the young man alive, and were not a
little comforted.
AC-20:13 And we went before to ship, and sailed unto Assos,
there
intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, minding
himself
to go afoot.
AC-20:14 And when he met with us at Assos, we took him in, and
came
to Mitylene.
AC-20:15 And we sailed thence, and came the next [day] over
against
Chios; and the next [day] we arrived at Samos, and tarried at
Trogyllium; and the next [day] we came to Miletus.
AC-20:16 For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he
would not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were
possible
for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.
AC-20:17 And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the
elders
of the church.
AC-20:18 And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye
know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what
manner I
have been with you at all seasons,
AC-20:19 Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with
many
tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of
the
Jews:
AC-20:20 [And] how I kept back nothing that was profitable [unto
you], but have showed you, and have taught you publicly, and from
house to house,
AC-20:21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks,
repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
AC-20:22 And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto
Jerusalem,
not knowing the things that shall befall me there:
AC-20:23 Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city,
saying
that bonds and afflictions abide me.
AC-20:24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my
life
dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and
the
ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the
gospel of the grace of God.
AC-20:25 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have
gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.
AC-20:26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I [am]
pure
from the blood of all [men].
AC-20:27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the
counsel
of God.
AC-20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the
flock,
over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed
the
church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
AC-20:29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous
wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
AC-20:30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking
perverse
things, to draw away disciples after them.
AC-20:31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of
three
years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
AC-20:32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the
word
of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an
inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
AC-20:33 I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.
AC-20:34 Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have
ministered
unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.
AC-20:35 I have showed you all things, how that so labouring ye
ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord
Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
AC-20:36 And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and
prayed
with them all.
AC-20:37 And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul's neck, and
kissed him,
AC-20:38 Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spake,
