Acts 20

1 AND after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto him the disciples, and embraced them, and departed for to go into Macedonia.

And after the ceasing of the tumult, Paul having called near the disciples, and having embraced [them], went forth to go on to Macedonia;

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

and having gone through those parts, and having exhorted them with many words, he came to Greece;

3 And there abode three months. And when the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria, he purposed to return through Macedonia.

and having continued three months—a counsel of the Jews having been against him—being about to set forth to Syria, there came [to him] a resolution of returning through Macedonia.

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

And there were accompanying him to Asia, Sopater of Pyrrhus from Berea, and of Thessalonians Aristarchus and Secundus, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus, and of Asians Tychicus and Trophimus;

5 These going before tarried for us at Troas.

these, having gone before, remained for us in Troas,

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

and we sailed, after the days of the Unleavened [Bread], from Philippi, and came to them to Troas in five days, where we abided seven days.

7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.

And on the first [day] of the weeks, the disciples having been gathered together to break bread, Paul was discoursing to them, about to depart on the next day, he was also continuing the discourse until midnight,

8 And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together.

and there were many lamps in the upper chamber where they were gathered together,

9 And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead.

and there a certain youth was sitting, by name Eutychus, on the window—being borne down by a deep sleep, Paul discoursing long—he having sunk down from the sleep, fell down from the third story, and was lifted up dead.

10 And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.

And Paul, having gone down, fell on him, and having embraced [him], said, “Make no tumult, for his life is in him”;

11 When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed.

and having come up, and having broken bread, and having tasted, for a long time also having talked—until daylight, so he went forth,

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

and they brought up the boy alive, and were comforted in no ordinary measure.

13 And we went before to ship, and sailed unto Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, minding himself to go afoot.

And we having gone before to the ship, sailed to Assos, there intending to take in Paul, for so he had arranged, intending himself to go on foot;

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

and when he met with us at Assos, having taken him up, we came to Mitylene,

15 And we sailed thence, and came the next day over against Chios; and the next day we arrived at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium; and the next day we came to Miletus.

and there having sailed, on the next day we came opposite Chios, and the next day we arrived at Samos, and having remained in Trogyllium, on the following day we came to Miletus,

16 For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.

for Paul decided to sail past Ephesus, that there may not be to him a loss of time in Asia, for he was hurrying, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem on the day of the Pentecost.

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

And from Miletus, having sent to Ephesus, he called for the elders of the assembly,

18 And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons,

and when they were come to him, he said to them, “You know from the first day in which I came to Asia, how I was with you at all times;

19 Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:

serving the LORD with all humility, and many tears, and temptations, that befell me in the counsels of the Jews against [me];

20 And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house,

how I kept back nothing of what things are profitable, not to declare to you, and to teach you publicly, and in every house,

21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

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

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

And now, behold, I—bound in the Spirit—go on to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that will befall me in it,

23 Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.

except that the Holy Spirit fully testifies in every city, saying that bonds and tribulations remain for me;

24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

but I make account of none of these, neither do I count my life precious to myself, so that I finish my course with joy, and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to fully testify [to] the good news of the grace of God.

25 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.

And now, behold, I have known that you will no longer see my face, among all you [to] whom I went preaching the Kingdom of God;

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

for this reason I take you to witness this day, that I [am] clear from the blood of all,

27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.

for I did not keep back from declaring to you all the counsel of God.

28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

Take heed, therefore, to yourselves, and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit made you overseers, to feed the Assembly of God that He acquired through His own blood,

29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

for I have known this, that there will enter in, after my departing, grievous wolves to you, not sparing the flock,

30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.

and there will arise men of your own selves, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.

31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.

Therefore, watch, remembering that three years, night and day, I did not cease with tears warning each one;

32 And now, brethren, 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 them which are sanctified.

and now, I commend you, brothers, to God, and to the word of His grace, that is able to build up, and to give you an inheritance among all those sanctified.

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

I coveted the silver or gold or clothing of no one;

34 Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.

and you yourselves know that to my necessities, and to those who were with me, these hands ministered;

35 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

I showed you all things, that, thus laboring, it is necessary to partake with the ailing, to also be mindful of 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 down, and prayed with them all.

And having said these things, having bowed his knees, with them all, he prayed,

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

and there came a great weeping to all, and having fallen on the neck of Paul, they were kissing him,

38 Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spake, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him unto the ship.

sorrowing most of all for the word that he had said—that they are about to see his face no longer; and they were accompanying him to the ship.
