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

2 And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into 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 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 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 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 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 tarried for us at Troas.

these proceeded on before us, and waited for us at 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 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 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 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 chamber, where they were gathered together.

And there were many lamps burning in the chamber where we were assembled.

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 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 And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; 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 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 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 the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.

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

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 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, we took him in, and came to Mitylene.

And when we had received him at Thesos, we took him on board ship and proceeded 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 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 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 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 And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church.

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

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

laboring for God, in great humility, and with tears, amid the trials which beset me from the plottings of Jews:

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,

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 both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward 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, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:

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

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

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

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

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

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

For I have not shunned to acquaint you with all the will 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 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 after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, 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 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away 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 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day 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, 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 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 no man’s silver, or gold, or apparel.

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

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

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 when he had thus spoken, he kneeled 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 fell on Paul’s neck, and kissed him,

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

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.
