Acts 20

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

And after the tumult was ceased, Paul calling to him the disciples, and exhorting them, took his leave, and set forward to go into Macedonia.

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

And when he had gone over those parts, and had exhorted them with many words, he came into Greece;

3 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.

Where, when he had spent three months, the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria; so he took a resolution to return through Macedonia.

4 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;

And there accompanied him Sopater the son of Pyrrhus, of Berea; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus, and Secundus, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.

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

These going before, stayed for us at Troas.

6 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.

But we sailed from Philippi after the days of the Azymes, and came to them to Troas in five days, where we abode seven days.

7 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,

And on the first day of the week, when we were assembled to break bread, Paul discoursed with them, being to depart on the morrow: and he continued his speech until midnight.

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

And there were a great number of lamps in the upper chamber where we were assembled.

9 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.

And a certain young man named Eutychus, sitting on the window, being oppressed with a deep sleep, (as Paul was long preaching, ) by occasion of his sleep fell from the third loft down, and was taken up dead.

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

To whom, when Paul had gone down, he laid himself upon him, and embracing him, said: Be not troubled, for his soul is in him.

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

Then going up, and breaking bread and tasting, and having talked a long time to them, until daylight, so he departed.

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

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

13 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;

But we, going aboard the ship, sailed to Assos, being there to take in Paul; for so he had appointed, himself purposing to travel by land.

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

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

15 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,

And sailing thence, the day following we came over against Chios; and the next day we arrived at Samos; and the day following we came to Miletus.

16 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.

For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, lest he should be stayed any time in Asia. For he hasted, if it were possible for him, to keep the day of Pentecost at Jerusalem.

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

And sending from Miletus to Ephesus, he called the ancients of the church.

18 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;

And when they were come to him, and were together, he said to them: You know from the first day that I came into Asia, in what manner I have been with you, for all the time,

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

Serving the Lord with all humility, and with tears, and temptations which befell me by the conspiracies of the Jews;

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

How I have kept back nothing that was profitable to you, but have preached it to you, and taught you publicly, and from house to house,

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

Testifying both to Jews and Gentiles penance towards God, and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.

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

And now, behold, being bound in the spirit, I go to Jerusalem: not knowing the things which shall befall me there:

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

Save that the Holy Ghost in every city witnesseth to me, saying: That bands and afflictions wait for me at Jerusalem.

24 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.

But I fear none of these things, neither do I count my life more precious than myself, so that I may consummate my course and the ministry of the word which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

25 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;

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

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

Wherefore I take you to witness this day, that I am clear from the blood of all men;

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

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

28 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,

Take heed to yourselves, and to the whole flock, wherein the Holy Ghost hath placed you bishops, to rule the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

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

I know that, after my departure, ravening wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

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

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

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

Therefore watch, keeping in memory, that for three years I ceased not, with tears to admonish every one of you night and day.

32 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.

And now I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, who is able to build up, and to give an inheritance among all the sanctified.

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

I have not coveted any man’s silver, gold, or apparel, as

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

You yourselves know: for such things as were needful for me and them that are with me, these hands have furnished.

35 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.”

I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring you ought to support the weak, and to remember the word of the Lord Jesus, how he said: It is a more blessed thing to give, rather than to receive.

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

And when he had said these things, kneeling down, he prayed with them all.

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

And there was much weeping among them all; and falling on the neck of Paul, they kissed him,

38 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.

Being grieved most of all for the word which he had said, that they should see his face no more. And they brought him on his way to the ship.
