Acts 20

1 After the uproar had ceased, Paul sent for the disciples, took leave of them, and departed to go into Macedonia.

And after the tumult was over, Paul sent for the disciples to him, and having embraced them, departed to go into Macedonia.

2 When he had gone through those parts and had encouraged them with many words, he came into Greece.

And having passed through those parts, and given them much exhortation, he came into Greece.

3 When he had spent three months there, and a plot was made against him by Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he determined to return through Macedonia.

And when he had spent three months there, the Jews having laid wait for him as he was going to embark for Syria, he determined to return by Macedonia.

4 These accompanied him as far as Asia: Sopater of Beroea, Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, Gaius of Derbe, Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia.

And there accompanied him to Asia, Sopater the Berean, and of the Thessalonians Aristarchus and Secundus, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy: and the Asiatics,

5 But these had gone ahead, and were waiting for us at Troas.

Tychicus and Trophimus, who went before and stayed for us at Troas.

6 We sailed away from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and came to them at Troas in five days, where we stayed seven days.

And after the days of unleavened bread we sailed from Philippi, and came to them at Troas in five days, where we spent seven days.

7 On the first day of the week, when the disciples were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day; and continued his speech until midnight.

And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples were assembled together to break bread, Paul being about to depart on the morrow, preached unto them, and continued his discourse till midnight.

8 There were many lights in the upper room where we were gathered together.

And there were many lamps in the upper room where they were assembled.

9 A certain young man named Eutychus sat in the window, weighed down with deep sleep. As Paul spoke still longer, being weighed down by his sleep, he fell down from the third floor and was taken up dead.

And a young man named Eutychus, who sat in a window, falling into a deep sleep, as Paul was discoursing for a long time, sunk down and fell from the third story, and was taken up dead.

10 Paul went down and fell upon him, and embracing him said, “Do not be troubled, for his life is in him.”

And Paul went down and leaned over him, and took him up and said, Be not disturbed; for his life is in him.

11 When he had gone up, had broken bread and eaten, and had talked with them a long while, even until break of day, he departed.

Then he went up again, and having broken bread and eaten, and conversed with them a considerable time, even till break of day, he departed.

12 They brought the boy in alive, and were greatly comforted.

And they brought in the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.

13 But we, going ahead to the ship, set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul aboard there; for he had so arranged, intending himself to go by land.

But we went before to the ship, and sailed to Assos, being there to take in Paul: for so he had appointed, designing himself to go on foot.

14 When he met us at Assos, we took him aboard and came to Mitylene.

And as soon as he joined us at Assos, we took him in and came to Mitylene.

15 Sailing from there, we came the following day opposite Chios. The next day we touched at Samos and stayed at Trogyllium, and the day after we came to Miletus.

And sailing from thence we came the next day over against Chios; and the day following we arrived at Samos, and stopping at Trogyllium, we came the day after to Miletus.

16 For Paul had determined to sail past Ephesus, that he might not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hastening, if it were possible for him, to be in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.

For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, that he might not spend time in Asia: for he endeavoured, if it were possible, to be at Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.

17 From Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called to himself the elders of the assembly.

But he sent from Miletus to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church.

18 When they had come to him, he said to them, “You yourselves know, from the first day that I set foot in Asia, how I was with you all the time,

And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know in what manner I behaved among you all the time, from the first day that I came into Asia.

19 serving the Lord with all humility, with many tears, and with trials which happened to me by the plots of the Jews;

Serving the Lord with all humility, and many tears, and trials which befel me by the ambushes of the Jews.

20 how I did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, teaching you publicly and from house to house,

And how I with-held nothing that was useful, but have declared it to you, and have taught you publicly and from house to house:

21 testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus.

testifying both to the Jews and Greeks, repentance towards God, and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.

22 Now, behold, I go bound by the Spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there;

And now, being constrained by the spirit, behold I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will befal me there:

23 except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions wait for me.

save that the holy Spirit testifieth in every city, that bonds and afflictions await me.

24 But these things do not count; nor do I hold my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to fully testify to the Good News of the grace of God.

But none of these things move me, nor do I account my life dear, so that I may 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.

25 “Now, behold, I know that you all, among whom I went about preaching God’s Kingdom, will see my face no more.

And now behold I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.

26 Therefore I testify to you today that I am clean from the blood of all men,

Wherefore I call you to witness this day, that I am clear from the blood of all men.

27 for I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.

For I have not failed to declare unto you all the counsel of God.

28 Take heed, therefore, to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the assembly of the Lord and God which he purchased with his own blood.

Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock, in which the holy Spirit hath appointed you bishops, to feed the church of God, which He purchased with his own blood.

29 For I know that after my departure, vicious wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

For I know this, that after my departure grievous wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

30 Men will arise from among your own selves, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.

And from among yourselves shall men arise, speaking perverse things to draw away disciples after them.

31 Therefore watch, remembering that for a period of three years I did not cease to admonish everyone night and day with tears.

Watch therefore, remembering that for the space of three years I ceased not by night and by day to warn every one with tears.

32 Now, brothers, I entrust you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

And now, my brethren, I recommend you to God, and to the word of his grace: who is able to edify you, and to give you an inheritance among all that are sanctified.

33 I coveted no one’s silver, gold, or clothing.

I have coveted no one's silver, or gold, or apparel:

34 You yourselves know that these hands served my necessities, and those who were with me.

and ye yourselves know that these hands have ministred to my necessities, and to those that were with me.

35 In all things I gave you an example, that so laboring you ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

I have shewed you in all things, that by labouring thus ye ought to support the infirm; and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, who said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

36 When he had spoken these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all.

And when he had said these things, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all.

37 They all wept freely, and fell on Paul’s neck and kissed him,

And they were all much grieved, and fell on Paul's neck, and kissed him: sorrowing most of all at the word which he spake,

38 sorrowing most of all because of the word which he had spoken, that they should see his face no more. Then they accompanied him to the ship.

that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.
