1 After the tumult had ceased, Paul called the disciples to him, and bade them farewell, and departed, in order to go into Macedonia.

And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto him the disciples, and embraced them, and departed for to go into Macedonia.

2 And when he had gone through those regions, and had exhorted them with many words, he came into Greece.

And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece,

3 And having remained there three months, he determined to return through Macedonia, because a plot had been laid for him by the Jews, as he was about to sail to Syria.

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.

4 And Sopater of Berea, and Aristarchus and Secundus of Thessalonica, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy and Tychicus and Trophimus, who were Asiatics, accompanied him to Asia.

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.

5 These went before, and waited for us at Troas.

These going before tarried for us at Troas.

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

8 And there were many lamps in the upper room, in which they had met together.

And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together.

9 And a certain young man, named Eutychus, was sitting in the window, overpowered with deep sleep: and, as Paul was discoursing a long time, being oppressed with sleep, he fell from the third story, and was taken up dead.

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.

10 But Paul went down, and fell upon him, and embracing him, said: Be not troubled, for his life is in him.

And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.

11 And he went up again, and broke bread, and ate; and having conversed a long time, till daylight, he thus departed.

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.

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

13 And we went on before to the ship, and put to sea for Assos, intending to take Paul on board at that place; for he had so directed, intending to go himself on foot.

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.

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

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.

17 From Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church.

And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the assembly.

18 And when they had come to him, he said to them: You know, from the first day on which I came into Asia, how I have been with you during the whole time,

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,

19 serving the Lord with all lowliness of mind, and with tears, and with trials, which came upon me through the plots of the Jews;

Serving YHWH with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:

20 and that I have kept back nothing that was profitable, but have preached to you, and taught you both publicly, and from house to house,

And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house,

21 bearing full testimony both to Jews and to Greeks, of the repentance that leads to God, and of the faith that leads to our Lord Jesus Christ.

Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward YHWH, and faith toward our Saviour Yahushua the Messiah.

22 And now, behold, I am going, bound in spirit, to Jerusalem, not knowing what shall befall me there,

And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:

23 except that in every city the Holy Spirit testifies to me, saying, That bonds and afflictions await me.

Save that the Holy Spirit witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.

24 But I esteem this a matter of no importance, nor do I hold my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my course with joy, and the ministry that I have received from the Lord Jesus, to bear full testimony to the gospel of the grace of God.

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 our Master Yahushua, to testify the gospel of the favour of YHWH.

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

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

26 For this reason I solemnly affirm to you this day, that I am clean from the blood of all men.

Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.

27 For I have not shunned to declare to you the whole counsel of God.

For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of YHWH.

28 Therefore, take heed to yourselves, and to all the flock over which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, that you be shepherds to the church of God, which he has purchased with his own blood.

Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Spirit hath made you overseers, to feed the assembly of YHWH, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

29 For I know this, that, after my departure, rapacious wolves will enter in among you, who will not spare the flock;

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

30 and men will arise from among yourselves, speaking perverse things, that they may draw off disciples after them.

Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.

31 Therefore watch, remembering that for three years, by day and by night, I ceased not to warn every one of you with tears.

Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.

32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace; to Him who is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all the sanctified.

And now, brethren, I commend you to YHWH, and to the word of his favour, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.

33 I have coveted no man’s silver, or gold, or apparel.

I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.

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

Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.

35 In all things I have taught you by example, that by thus laboring, you ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus; for he himself said, It is more blessed to give, than to receive.

I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Master Yahushua, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

36 And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down and prayed with them all.

And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all.

37 And they all wept much, and fell on Paul’s neck, and kissed him,

And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul's neck, and kissed him,

38 grieving most of all for the word he had spoken, that they would see his face no more. And they conducted him to the ship.

Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spake, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him unto the ship.
