Acts 20

1 THEN after the tumult was quieted, Paul called to him the disciples, and taking his leave, 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 passing through those parts, and having exhorted them with much discourse, he went into Greece.

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

3 And after three months stay, as the Jews were lying in wait for him, when he was just embarking for Syria, he determined 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 there accompanied him as far as Asia, Sopater a Berean; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and Tychicus and Trophimus, Asiatics.

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 tarried for us at Troas.

These having gone forward waited for us at Troas.

6 And we sailed from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came to them to Troas after five days; where we stayed 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 day of the week, when the disciples were assembled to break bread, Paul preached unto them (ready to depart on the morrow), and extended his discourse until 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 Now there were many lamps in the upper room, where they were assembled.

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

9 And a certain youth named Eutytchus, who sat in the window, fell into a profound sleep: as Paul discoursed much longer than usual, quite overpowered with sleep, he fell down from a 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 But Paul came down, and fell upon him, and taking him in his arms, said, Trouble not yourselves, for his life is yet 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 when he had gone up, and broken bread, and eaten, and conversed a long time, even to the break of day, he then 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 brought the lad alive, and were comforted exceedingly.

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

13 Then we going before to the ship, sailed for Assos, intending there to take in Paul: for so he had ordered, meaning himself to walk thither.

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, we took him up, and came to Mytelene.

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

15 And sailing from thence, on the following day we advanced over against Chios; and the next day we touched at Samos, and staying at Trogyllium, the day following 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 had determined to sail by Ephesus, that he might not spend the time in Asia: for he hastened on, if it was possible for him, to be at 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 So he sent to Ephesus from Miletus, and called the presbyters of the church to attend him.

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

18 And when they were come unto him, he said unto them, Ye know, from the very first day in which I entered into Asia, how I have been among you at every season,

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 with many tears and trials, which have befallen me through the lying in wait of the Jews:

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

20 and that I have suppressed nothing which could conduce to your profiting; not desisting from preaching to you, and teaching you in public, 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 repeatedly urging both on 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 I am going, bound by the Spirit, unto Jerusalem, not knowing what things shall there befal me:

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

23 only this, that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying, that bonds and tribulation await thee.

save that the Holy Spirit witnesseth to me in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions await me.

24 Yet I make no account of any suffering, nor regard my life as of any value to myself, farther than as I may finish my course with joy, and the ministry which I have received of the Lord, to testify fully 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 ye shall see my face no more, even ye all, among whom I have gone in and out preaching the kingdom of God.

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 appeal to you this day as witnesses 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 have concealed nothing, so as not repeatedly to declare to you the whole 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, over which the Holy Ghost hath made you bishops, to feed as shepherds the church of God, which he purchased 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 For this I know, that after my departure there will come among you 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 Yea, from among yourselves shall men arise, speaking perverting doctrines, to draw away disciples after them.

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

31 Therefore watch, remembering that for three years, by night and by day, I have never ceased with tears to admonish every individual.

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, brethren, I commit you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to finish the superstructure, and to give you an inheritance among all those who are 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 The silver, or gold, or apparel of no man have I coveted:

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

34 but ye yourselves know that these hands have by labour furnished necessaries for my own wants, and for those who were with me.

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

35 In all things I have set you the example, that so labouring hard ye ought to help the infirm, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, because 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 when he had spoken these things, he fell on his knees, and prayed with them all.

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

37 And all of them shed floods of tears, and fell upon Paul’s neck, and kissed him again and again,

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

38 most peculiarly afflicted at that word which he had spoken, that they should see his face no more: and they accompanied him unto 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.
