DAY 21
AC-19:32 Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for
the
assembly was confused; and the more part knew not wherefore they
were come together.
AC-19:33 And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews
putting him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and
would
have made his defence unto the people.
AC-19:34 But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one
voice
about the space of two hours cried out, Great [is] Diana of the
Ephesians.
AC-19:35 And when the townclerk had appeased the people, he
said,
[Ye] men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not how that
the
city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddess Diana,
and of the [image] which fell down from Jupiter?
AC-19:36 Seeing then that these things cannot be spoken against,
ye
ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.
AC-19:37 For ye have brought hither these men, which are neither
robbers of churches, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess.
AC-19:38 Wherefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen which are
with
him, have a matter against any man, the law is open, and there
are
deputies: let them implead one another.
AC-19:39 But if ye inquire any thing concerning other matters,
it
shall be determined in a lawful assembly.
AC-19:40 For we are in danger to be called in question for this
day's uproar, there being no cause whereby we may give an
account of
this concourse.
AC-19:41 And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
*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.
