Acts 20

1 Nowe after the tumult was appeased, Paul called the disciples vnto him, and embraced them, and departed to goe into Macedonia.

And after the uproar ceased, Paul having sent for the disciples and exhorted them, took leave of them, and departed to go into Macedonia.

2 And when hee had gone through those parts, and had exhorted them with many words, he came into Grecia.

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

3 And hauing taried there three moneths, because the Iewes layde waite for him, as hee was about to saile into Syria, hee purposed to returne through Macedonia.

And when he had spent three months [there], and a plot was laid against him by the Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he determined to return through Macedonia.

4 And there accompanied him into Asia, Sopater of Berea, and of them of Thessalonica, Aristarchus, and Secundus, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus, and of them of Asia, Tychicus, and Trophimus.

And there accompanied him as far as Asia, Sopater of Beroea, [the son] of Pyrrhus; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.

5 These went before, and taried vs at Troas.

But these had gone before, and were waiting for us at Troas.

6 And we sailed forth from Philippi, after the dayes of vnleauened bread, and came vnto them to Troas in fiue dayes, where we abode seuen dayes.

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

7 And the first day of the weeke, the disciples being come together to breake bread, Paul preached vnto them, ready to depart on the morrow, and continued the preaching vnto midnight.

And upon the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul discoursed with them, intending to depart on the morrow; and prolonged his speech until midnight.

8 And there were many lightes in an vpper chamber, where they were gathered together.

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

9 And there sate in a windowe a certaine yong man, named Eutychus, fallen into a dead sleepe: and as Paul was long preaching, hee ouercome with sleepe, fell downe from the thirde loft, and was taken vp dead.

And there sat in the window a certain young man named Eutychus, borne down with deep sleep; and as Paul discoursed yet longer, being borne down by his sleep he fell down from the third story, and was taken up dead.

10 But Paul went downe, and layde himselfe vpon him, and embraced him, saying, Trouble not your selues: for his life is in him.

And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Make ye no ado; for his life is in him.

11 Then when Paul was come vp againe, and had broken bread, and eaten, hauing spoken a long while till the dawning of the day, hee so departed.

And when he was gone up, and had broken the bread, and eaten, and had talked with them a long while, even till break of day, so he departed.

12 And they brought the boye aliue, and they were not a litle comforted.

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

13 Then we went before to shippe, and sailed vnto the citie Assos, that wee might receiue Paul there: for so had hee appointed, and would himselfe goe afoote.

But we, going before to the ship, set sail for Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, intending himself to go by land.

14 Now when he was come vnto vs to Assos, and we had receiued him, we came to Mitylenes.

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

15 And wee sailed thence, and came the next day ouer against Chios, and the next day we arriued at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium: the next day we came to Miletum.

And sailing from thence, we came the following day over against Chios; and the next day we touched at Samos; and the day after we came to Miletus.

16 For Paul had determined to saile by Ephesus, because hee woulde not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted to be, if hee could possible, at Hierusalem, at the day of Pentecost.

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

17 Wherefore from Miletum, hee sent to Ephesus, and called the Elders of the Church.

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

18 Who when they were come to him, hee said vnto them, Ye know from the first day that I came into Asia, after what maner I haue bene with you at all seasons,

And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye yourselves know, from the first day that I set foot in Asia, after what manner I was with you all the time,

19 Seruing the Lord with all modestie, and with many teares, and tentations, which came vnto me by the layings awaite of the Iewes,

serving the Lord with all lowliness of mind, and with tears, and with trials which befell me by the plots of the Jews;

20 And how I kept backe nothing that was profitable, but haue shewed you, and taught you openly and throughout euery house,

how I shrank not from declaring unto you anything that was profitable, and teaching you publicly, and from house to house,

21 Witnessing both to the Iewes, and to the Grecians the repentance towarde God, and faith toward our Lord Iesus Christ.

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

22 And nowe beholde, I goe bound in the Spirit vnto Hierusalem, and know not what things shall come vnto me there,

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

23 Saue that ye holy Ghost witnesseth in euery citie, saying, that bondes and afflictions abide me.

save that the Holy Spirit testifieth unto me in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.

24 But I passe not at all, neither is my life deare vnto my selfe, so that I may fulfill my course with ioye, and the ministration which I haue receiued of the Lord Iesus, to testifie the Gospell of the grace of God.

But I hold not my life of any account as dear unto myself, so that I may accomplish my course, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

25 And now behold, I know that henceforth ye all, through whome I haue gone preaching the kingdome of God, shall see my face no more.

And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I went about preaching the kingdom, shall see my face no more.

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

Wherefore I testify unto you this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.

27 For I haue kept nothing backe, but haue shewed you all the counsell of God.

For I shrank not from declaring unto you the whole counsel of God.

28 Take heede therefore vnto your selues, and to all the flocke, whereof the holy Ghost hath made you Ouerseers, to feede the Church of God, which hee hath purchased with that his owne blood.

Take heed unto yourselves, and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit hath made you bishops, to feed the church of the Lord which he purchased with his own blood.

29 For I knowe this, that after my departing shall grieuous wolues enter in among you, not sparing the flocke.

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

30 Moreouer of your owne selues shall men arise speaking peruerse thinges, to drawe disciples after them.

and from among your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.

31 Therefore watche, and remember, that by the space of three yeres I ceased not to warne euery one, both night and day with teares.

Wherefore watch ye, remembering that by the space of three years I ceased not to admonish every one night and day with tears.

32 And nowe brethren, I commend you to God, and to the worde of his grace, which is able to build further, and to giue you an inheritance, among all them, which are 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] the inheritance among all them that are sanctified.

33 I haue coueted no mans siluer, nor gold, nor apparell.

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

34 Yea, ye knowe, that these handes haue ministred vnto my necessities, and to them that were with me.

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

35 I haue shewed you all things, howe that so labouring, ye ought to support the weake, and to remember the wordes of the Lord Iesus, howe that hee saide, It is a blessed thing to giue, rather then to receiue.

In all things I gave you an example, that so laboring ye ought to help 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 when he had thus spoken, he kneeled downe, and prayed with them all.

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

37 Then they wept all abundantly, and fell on Pauls necke, and kissed him,

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

38 Being chiefly sorie for the words which he spake, That they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him vnto the shippe.

sorrowing most of all for the word which he had spoken, that they should behold his face no more. And they brought him on his way unto the ship.
