Acts 20

1 Then, after the tumult ceased, Paul, calling the disciples to himself and exhorting them, said farewell. And he set out, so that he might go into Macedonia.

And after the ceasing of the tumult, Paul having called near the disciples, and having embraced [them], went forth to go on to Macedonia;

2 And when he had walked through those areas and had exhorted them with many sermons, he went into Greece.

and having gone through those parts, and having exhorted them with many words, he came to Greece;

3 After he had spent three months there, treacheries were planned against him by the Jews, just as he was about to sail into Syria. And having been advised of this, he return through Macedonia.

and having continued three months—a counsel of the Jews having been against him—being about to set forth to Syria, there came [to him] a resolution of returning through Macedonia.

4 Now those accompanying him were Sopater, the son of Pyrrhus from Beroea; and also the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and also Tychicus and Trophimus from Asia.

And there were accompanying him to Asia, Sopater of Pyrrhus from Berea, and of Thessalonians Aristarchus and Secundus, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus, and of Asians Tychicus and Trophimus;

5 These, after they had gone ahead, waited for us at Troas.

these, having gone before, remained for us in Troas,

6 Yet truly, we sailed from Philippi, after the days of Unleavened Bread, and in five days we went to them at Troas, where we stayed for seven days.

and we sailed, after the days of the Unleavened [Bread], from Philippi, and came to them to Troas in five days, where we abided seven days.

7 Then, on the first Sabbath, when we had assembled together to break bread, Paul discoursed with them, intending to set out the next day. But he prolonged his sermon into the middle of the night.

And on the first [day] of the weeks, the disciples having been gathered together to break bread, Paul was discoursing to them, about to depart on the next day, he was also continuing the discourse until midnight,

8 Now there were plenty of lamps in the upper room, where we were gathered.

and there were many lamps in the upper chamber where they were gathered together,

9 And a certain adolescent named Eutychus, sitting on the window sill, was being weighed down by a heavy drowsiness (for Paul was preaching at length). Then, as he went to sleep, he fell from the third floor room downward. And when he was lifted up, he was dead.

and there a certain youth was sitting, by name Eutychus, on the window—being borne down by a deep sleep, Paul discoursing long—he having sunk down from the sleep, fell down from the third story, and was lifted up dead.

10 When Paul had gone down to him, he laid himself over him and, embracing him, said, “Do not worry, for his soul is still within him.”

And Paul, having gone down, fell on him, and having embraced [him], said, “Make no tumult, for his life is in him”;

11 And so, going up, and breaking bread, and eating, and having spoken well on until daylight, he then set out.

and having come up, and having broken bread, and having tasted, for a long time also having talked—until daylight, so he went forth,

12 Now they had brought the boy in alive, and they were more than a little consoled.

and they brought up the boy alive, and were comforted in no ordinary measure.

13 Then we climbed aboard the ship and sailed to Assos, where we were to take in Paul. For so he himself had decided, since he was making the journey by land.

And we having gone before to the ship, sailed to Assos, there intending to take in Paul, for so he had arranged, intending himself to go on foot;

14 And when he had joined us at Assos, we took him in, and we went to Mitylene.

and when he met with us at Assos, having taken him up, we came to Mitylene,

15 And sailing from there, on the following day, we arrived opposite Chios. And next we landed at Samos. And on the following day we went to Miletus.

and there having sailed, on the next day we came opposite Chios, and the next day we arrived at Samos, and having remained in Trogyllium, on the following day we came to Miletus,

16 For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus, so that he would not be delayed in Asia. For he was hurrying so that, if it were possible for him, he might observe the day of Pentecost at Jerusalem.

for Paul decided to sail past Ephesus, that there may not be to him a loss of time in Asia, for he was hurrying, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem on the day of the Pentecost.

17 Then, sending from Miletus to Ephesus, he called those greater by birth in the church.

And from Miletus, having sent to Ephesus, he called for the elders of the assembly,

18 And when they had come to him and were together, he said to them: “You know that from the first day when I entered into Asia, I have been with you, for the entire time, in this manner:

and when they were come to him, he said to them, “You know from the first day in which I came to Asia, how I was with you at all times;

19 serving the Lord, with all humility and despite the tears and trials which befell me from the treacheries of the Jews,

serving the LORD with all humility, and many tears, and temptations, that befell me in the counsels of the Jews against [me];

20 how I held back nothing that was of value, how well I have preached to you, and that I have taught you publicly and throughout the houses,

how I kept back nothing of what things are profitable, not to declare to you, and to teach you publicly, and in every house,

21 testifying both to Jews and to Gentiles about repentance in God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.

testifying fully both to Jews and Greeks, conversion toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

22 And now, behold, being obliged in spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there,

And now, behold, I—bound in the Spirit—go on to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that will befall me in it,

23 except that the Holy Spirit, throughout every city, has cautioned me, saying that chains and tribulations await me at Jerusalem.

except that the Holy Spirit fully testifies in every city, saying that bonds and tribulations remain for me;

24 But I dread none of these things. Neither do I consider my life to be more precious because it is my own, provided that in some way I may complete my own course and that of the ministry of the Word, which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the Gospel of the grace of God.

but I make account of none of these, neither do I count my life precious to myself, so that I finish my course with joy, and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to fully testify [to] the good news of the grace of God.

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

And now, behold, I have known that you will no longer see my face, among all you [to] whom I went preaching the Kingdom of God;

26 For this reason, I call you as witnesses on this very day: that I am clean from the blood of all.

for this reason I take you to witness this day, that I [am] clear from the blood of all,

27 For I have not turned aside in the least from announcing every counsel of God to you.

for I did not keep back from declaring to you all the counsel of God.

28 Take care of yourselves and of the entire flock, over which the Holy Spirit has stationed you as Bishops to rule the Church of God, which he has purchased by his own blood.

Take heed, therefore, to yourselves, and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit made you overseers, to feed the Assembly of God that He acquired through His own blood,

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

for I have known this, that there will enter in, after my departing, grievous wolves to you, not sparing the flock,

30 And from among yourselves, men will rise up, speaking perverse things in order to entice disciples after them.

and there will arise men of your own selves, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.

31 Because of this, be vigilant, retaining in memory that throughout three years I did not cease, night and day, with tears, to admonish each and every one of you.

Therefore, watch, remembering that three years, night and day, I did not cease with tears warning each one;

32 And now, I commend you to God and to the Word of his grace. He has the power to build up, and to give an inheritance to all who are sanctified.

and now, I commend you, brothers, to God, and to the word of His grace, that is able to build up, and to give you an inheritance among all those sanctified.

33 I have coveted neither silver and gold, nor apparel,

I coveted the silver or gold or clothing of no one;

34 as you yourselves know. For that which was needed by me and by those who are with me, these hands have provided.

and you yourselves know that to my necessities, and to those who were with me, these hands ministered;

35 I have revealed all things to you, because by laboring in this way, it is necessary 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.’”

I showed you all things, that, thus laboring, it is necessary to partake with the ailing, to also be mindful of the words of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said: It is more blessed to give than to receive.”

36 And when he had said these things, kneeling down, he prayed with all of them.

And having said these things, having bowed his knees, with them all, he prayed,

37 Then a great weeping occurred among them all. And, falling upon the neck of Paul, they kissed him,

and there came a great weeping to all, and having fallen on the neck of Paul, they were kissing him,

38 being grieved most of all over the word which he had said, that they would never see his face again. And they brought him to the ship.

sorrowing most of all for the word that he had said—that they are about to see his face no longer; and they were accompanying him to the ship.
