Acts 20

1 After the uproar ceased, Paul, having sent for the disciples and exhorted them, bidding them adieu, departed to go into 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 come through those regions, and exhorted them with much speaking, he came into Greece;

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

3 and having remained three months, a plot rising against him from the Jews, when about to sail for Syria, he was of a mind to return 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 Sopater the (son) of Pyrrhus, the Berean, and Aristarchus, the Thessalonian, and Secundus; and Gaius the Derbean, and Timothy; and Tychicus and Trophimus the Asiatics, accompanied him;

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 and these having gone in advance, awaited us in Troas;

These having gone forward waited for us at Troas.

6 and we, after the days of unleaven bread, sailed from Philippi, and came to them into Troas within 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 on the first of the Sabbaths we being assembled to break bread, Paul spoke to them, being about to depart the following day, and continued his 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 lamps in the upper room, where we were assembled.

And there were many lamps in the upper room where we had assembled.

9 Paul speaking more prolixly, there was a certain young man, Eutychus by name, sitting in the window, being borne down with deep sleep, completely relaxed by sleep, fell down from the third story, 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 And Paul, having come down, fell on him, and taking him in his arms said, Fear not; for his soul 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 come up, and broken the bread, and eaten, and talking a long time, until daydawn, thus he departed.

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 led up the boy alive, and were comforted exceedingly.

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

13 But we, having come in advance to the ship, embarked for Assos, thence being about to take up Paul, for he had so commanded us, 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 us at Assos, taking him up, we came to Mitylene.

And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board, and came to Mitylene;

15 And thence having sailed away on the following day we arrived opposite Chios; and on the following day we touched at Samos, and on the next day we came into 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 decided to sail by Ephesus, in order that it might not be necessary for him to spend the time in Asia: for he was hastening, if it might be possible for him to be in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.

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 And having sent from Miletus into Ephesus, he called for the elders of the church.

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

18 And when they came to him, he said to them, You know, that from the first day from which I came unto Asia, how I was with you all the time,

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 humility, and tears, and temptations, which came upon 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 omitted nothing of those things which are profitable, that I should not declare unto you and teach you publicly and from house to 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 witnessing both to Jews, and to Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

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

22 And now, behold, I go to Jerusalem bound in spirit, not knowing the things which shall come upon me in it:

And now behold, I go, bound in my spirit, to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that will befall me there;

23 except that the Holy Ghost in every city witnesses to me, 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 consider my life worthy of no consideration to myself, so as to finish my course, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to bear testimony to the gospel 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 you all, among whom I came preaching the gospel of the kingdom, 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 Therefore I witness to you this clay, that I am pure from the blood of all men;

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

27 for I did not shrink to declare unto you all the counsel of God.

for I have not shunned to declare to you the whole counsel of God.

28 Take heed to yourselves, and all the flock, over which the Holy Ghost has placed you shepherds, to shepherdise the church of God, which He bought with His own blood.

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 I know, that after my departure grievous wolves will rise up against you, 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 men from you yourselves will rise up, speaking perverse things, in order to lead away disciples after them.

And from among yourselves will men arise speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.

31 Watch therefore, remembering, that three years night and day I ceased not admonishing 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 commend you to God and the word of His grace, who is able to edify you, and give 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 not sought the silver, or gold, or raiment of any one;

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

34 you yourselves know, that these hands did minister to my necessities, and those along with me.

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

35 I have shown you all things, that it so behooveth you laboring to assist the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He 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, putting down his knees along with them all, he prayed.

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

37 And the weeping of all was great, and falling on the neck of Paul, they continued to kiss him copiously,

And they all wept sorely, and fell on Paul's neck, and kissed him;

38 being especially grieved at the word which he had spoken, that they were about to see his face no more. And they accompanied 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.
