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.

THEN after the tumult was quieted, Paul called to him the disciples, and taking his leave, departed to go into Macedonia.

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

And passing through those parts, and having exhorted them with much discourse, he went into 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 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.

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 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.

5 These going before tarried for us at Troas.

These going before tarried 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 sailed from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came to them to Troas after five days; where we stayed 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 the disciples were assembled to break bread, Paul preached unto them (ready to depart on the morrow), and extended his discourse until midnight.

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

Now there were many lamps in the upper room, where they 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 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.

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

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.

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, and broken bread, and eaten, and conversed a long time, even to the break of day, he then departed.

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

And they brought the lad alive, and were comforted exceedingly.

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.

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.

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

And when he met us at Assos, we took him up, and came to Mytelene.

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 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.

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 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.

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

So he sent to Ephesus from Miletus, and called the presbyters of the church to attend him.

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 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,

19 Serving YHWH 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 with many tears and trials, which have befallen me through the lying in wait of the 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 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,

21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward YHWH, and faith toward our Saviour Yahushua the Messiah.

repeatedly urging both on Jews and Greeks repentance towards God, and faith towards 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 am going, bound by the Spirit, unto Jerusalem, not knowing what things shall there befal me:

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

only this, that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying, that bonds and tribulation 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 our Master Yahushua, to testify the gospel of the favour of YHWH.

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.

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

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.

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

Wherefore I appeal to you this day as witnesses that I am pure from the blood of all men.

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

For I have concealed nothing, so as not repeatedly to declare to you the whole counsel of God.

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

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.

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

For this I know, that after my departure there will come among you grievous wolves, not sparing the flock:

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

Yea, from among yourselves shall men arise, speaking perverting doctrines, to draw away 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 for three years, by night and by day, I have never ceased with tears to admonish every individual.

32 And now, brethren, I commend you to YHWH, and to the word of his favour, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.

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.

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

The silver, or gold, or apparel of no man have I coveted:

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

but ye yourselves know that these hands have by labour furnished necessaries for my own wants, and for those who 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 Master Yahushua, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

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.”

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

And when he had spoken these things, he fell on his knees, and prayed with them all.

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

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

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.

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.
