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 subsided, Paul called the disciples to him, and comforted them, and kissed them, and departed, and went into Macedonia.

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

And when he had travelled over those regions, and had comforted them with many discourses, he proceeded to the country of 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 he was there three months. And the Jews formed a plot against him, when he was about to go to Syria: and he contemplated returning to 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 departed with him, as far as Asia, Sopater of the city Berea, and Aristarchus and Secundus who were of Thessalonica, and Gaius who was of the city of Derbe, and Timothy of Lystra, and of Asia Tychicus and Trophimus.

5 These going before waited for us in Troas;

these proceeded on before us, and 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.

And we departed from Philippi, a city of the Macedonians, after the days of unleavened bread; and proceeded by water and arrived at Troas in five days, and remained there 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 assembled to break the eucharist, Paul discoursed with them, because he was to depart the next day; and he continued his discourse till midnight.

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

And there were many lamps burning in the chamber 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 a young man named Eutychus was sitting in a window and listening. And while Paul prolonged his discourse, he sunk into a deep sleep; and, in his sleep, he fell from the third loft, and was taken up as 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 bent over him and embraced him, and said: Be not agitated, for his soul 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 when he had gone up, he broke the bread and tasted it, and discoursed until the morning dawned. And then he departed to go by land.

12 And they brought [away] the boy alive, and were no little comforted.

And they brought the young man alive, and rejoiced over him greatly.

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 on board the ship, and sailed to the port of Thesos; because, there we were to take in Paul: for so had he bidden us, when he proceeded on by land.

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

And when we had received him at Thesos, we took him on board ship and proceeded 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 from there, the next day, we sailed over against the island Chios; and again, the next day we arrived at Samos, and stopped at Trogyllium; and on the following day we arrived at 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 with himself to pass by Ephesus, lest he should be delayed there; because he hasted on, if possible, to keep the day of pentecost in Jerusalem.

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

And from Miletus, he sent and called the Elders of the church at Ephesus.

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, how, at all times, since the first day that I entered Asia, I have been with you;

19 serving the Lord with all lowliness, and tears, and temptations, which happened to me through the plots of the Jews;

laboring for God, in great humility, and with tears, amid the trials which beset me from the plottings of 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 I shunned not that which was advantageous to your souls, that I might preach to you, and teach in the streets and in houses,

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

while I testified to Jews and to Gentiles, as to repentance towards God and faith in our Lord Jesus Messiah.

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

And now I am bound in spirit, and I go to Jerusalem; and I know not what will befall me there;

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

except that the Holy Spirit in every city, testifieth to me and saith: Bonds and afflictions await thee.

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 my life is accounted by me as nothing, so that I may but finish my course, and the ministration which I have received from our Lord Jesus, to bear testimony to 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, I know that ye will see my face no more, all of you among whom I have travelled and preached the kingdom of God.

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

I therefore protest to you, this day, that I am pure from the blood of you all.

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

For I have not shunned to acquaint you with all the will 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 hath established you bishops; that ye feed the church of God, which he hath acquired by his 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, that after I am gone, fierce wolves will come in among you, and will have no mercy on the flock.

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

And also, from among yourselves, there will rise up men speaking perverse things, that they may turn away the disciples to go 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 ye vigilant; and remember, that for three years I ceased not to admonish each one of you, by day and by night, 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, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all the saints.

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

Silver, or gold, or garments, I have not coveted.

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

And ye yourselves, know, that these hands ministered to my wants, 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.

And I have showed you all things; that thus it is a duty to labor, and to care for the infirm, and to remember the words of our Lord Jesus; for he hath said, That he is more blessed who giveth, than he who receiveth.

36 And having said these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all.

And when he had said these things, he fell on his knees and prayed, and all the people with him.

37 And they all wept sore; and falling upon the neck of Paul they ardently kissed him,

And there was great weeping among them all. And they embraced him, 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.

And they had the most anguish, because of the word he uttered, that they would see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.
