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 tumult had ceased, Paul called to him the disciples, and having embraced them departed 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 through those regions, 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 when he had stayed three months, a plot having been laid for him by the Jews as he was about to sail for Syria, he resolved 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 as far as Asia, Sopater, son of Pyrrhus, a Beroean; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.

5 These going before waited for us in Troas;

These having gone forward waited 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.

But we set sail from Philippi, after the days of unleavened bread, and came to them at Troas in five days, where we abode 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 we had assembled to break bread, Paul discoursed to them, being about to depart on the morrow, and continued the discourse until midnight.

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

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 on the window a certain young man named Eutychus, having fallen into a deep sleep; and as Paul was discoursing at great length, he sank down with sleep, and fell from thee third story, 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.

But Paul went down and fell on him, and having embraced him, said, Make no lamentations; 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.

And having gone up again, and broken the bread and eaten, he talked a long while even till break of day, and so 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.

We however, going forward to the ship, put to sea for Assos, intending to take in Paul from that place; for so he had appointed, intending himself to go on foot.

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

And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board, 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 sailing thence, we came the following day over against Chios. And the next day we arrived at Samos; and having tarried at Trogyllium, we came the next day 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 past Ephesus, that he might not be detained in Asia; for he was hastening, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem on 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 had come to him, he said to them: Ye yourselves know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you the whole time,

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, and with tears, and trials which befell me by the plots 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,

how I kept back nothing that was profitable, but have made it known to 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 to both Jews and Greeks repentance toward God, and faith in our Lord Jesus.

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 my spirit, to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that will 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 Spirit witnesseth to me in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions await 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 I count life of no value to me, so that I may finish my course, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the glad tidings 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 ye all, among whom I went about preaching the kingdom, will see my face no more.

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

Wherefore I testify to you 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 the whole 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 which the Holy Spirit made you overseers, to feed the church of the Lord, which he 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 departure grievous wolves will 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.

And from among yourselves will men arise speaking perverse things, to draw away the 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 be watchful, and remember that for the space of three years, night and day, I ceased not to warn every one 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 I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, who is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all the 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.

Ye yourselves know, that these hands ministered to my necessities, and to those 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.

In all ways I showed you that so laboring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself 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 having 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 sorely, 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 word which he had spoken, that they were to see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.
