Acts 20

1 But after the tumult had ceased, Paul having called the disciples to [him] and embraced [them], went away to go to Macedonia.

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

2 And having passed through those parts, and having exhorted them with much discourse, he came to Greece.

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

3 And having spent three months [there], a treacherous plot against him having been set on foot by the Jews, as he was going to sail to Syria, [the] resolution was adopted of returning through Macedonia.

And there stayed 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 there accompanied him as far as Asia, Sopater [son] of Pyrrhus, a Berean; and of Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus, and Gaius and Timotheus of Derbe, and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.

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 going before waited for us in Troas;

These going before tarried for us at Troas.

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

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

7 And the first day of the week, we being assembled to break bread, Paul discoursed to them, about to depart on the morrow. And he prolonged the discourse till midnight.

And on the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached to them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.

8 And there were many lights in the upper room where we were assembled.

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

9 And a certain youth, by name Eutychus, sitting at the window-opening, overpowered by deep sleep, while Paul discoursed very much at length, having been overpowered by the sleep, fell from the third story down to the bottom, 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 descending fell upon him, and enfolding [him] [in his arms], 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 having gone up, and having broken the bread, and eaten, and having long spoken until daybreak, so he went away.

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 [away] the boy alive, and were no little comforted.

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

13 And we, having gone before on board ship, sailed off to Assos, going to take in Paul there; for so he had directed, he himself being about to go on foot.

And we went before to ship, and sailed to Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, minding himself to go afoot.

14 And when he met with us at Assos, having taken him on board, we came to Mitylene;

And when he met with us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene.

15 and having sailed thence, on the morrow arrived opposite Chios, and the next day put in at Samos; and having stayed at Trogyllium, the next day we came to Miletus:

And we sailed there, 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 thought it desirable to sail by Ephesus, so that he might not be made to spend time in Asia; for he hastened, if it was possible for him, to be the day of Pentecost at Jerusalem.

For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hurried, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.

17 But from Miletus having sent to Ephesus, he called over [to him] the elders of the assembly.

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

18 And when they were come to him, he said to them, Ye know how I was with you all the time from the first day that I arrived in Asia,

And when they were come to him, he said to them, You 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, and tears, and temptations, which happened to me through the plots of the Jews;

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:

20 how I held back nothing of what is profitable, so as not to announce [it] to you, and to teach you publicly and in every house,

And how I kept back nothing that was profitable to you, but have showed you, and have taught you publicly, and from house to house,

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

Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

22 And now, behold, bound in my spirit I go to Jerusalem, not knowing what things shall happen to me in it;

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

23 only that the Holy Spirit testifies to me in every city, saying that bonds and tribulations await me.

Save that the Holy Ghost witnesses in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.

24 But I make no account of [my] life [as] dear to myself, so that I finish my course, and the ministry which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the glad tidings of the grace of God.

But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear to 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.

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

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

26 Wherefore I witness to you this day, that I am clean from the blood of all,

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

27 for I have not shrunk from announcing to you all the counsel of God.

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

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

Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost has made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he has purchased with his own blood.

29 [For] I know [this, ] that there will come in amongst you after my departure grievous wolves, not sparing the flock;

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

30 and from among your own selves shall rise up men speaking perverted things to draw away the disciples after them.

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

31 Wherefore watch, remembering that for three years, night and day, I ceased not admonishing each 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 I commit you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build [you] up and give [to you] an inheritance among all the sanctified.

And now, brothers, 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.

33 I have coveted [the] silver or gold or clothing of no one.

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

34 Yourselves know that these hands have ministered to my wants, and to those who were with me.

Yes, you yourselves know, that these hands have ministered to my necessities, and to them that were with me.

35 I have shewed you all things, that thus labouring [we] ought to come in aid of 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 showed you all things, how that so laboring you 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.

36 And having said these things, he knelt 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 sore; and falling upon the neck of Paul they ardently kissed him,

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

38 specially pained by the word which he had said, that they would no more see his face. And they went down with him to the ship.

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