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 uproar was ceased, Paul having sent for the disciples and exhorted them, took leave of them, and departed for 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 through those parts, and had given them much exhortation, 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.

And when he had spent three months [there], and a plot was laid against him by the Jews, as he was about to set sail for Syria, he determined 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 as far as Asia Sopater of Beroea, [the son] of Pyrrhus; 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,

But these had gone before, and were waiting 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.

And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we tarried 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 upon the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul discoursed with them, intending to depart on the morrow; and prolonged his speech until midnight.

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

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

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 there sat in the window a certain young man named Eutychus, borne down with deep sleep; and as Paul discoursed yet longer, being borne down by his sleep he fell down from the third story, 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”;

And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Make ye no ado; for his life 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,

And when he was gone up, and had broken the bread, and eaten, and had talked with them a long while, even till break of day, so he departed.

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

And they brought the lad 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 before to the ship, set sail for Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, intending himself to go by land.

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

And when he met 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 from thence, we came the following day over against Chios; and the next day we touched at Samos; and the day after 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 past Ephesus, that he might not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hastening, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.

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

And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called to him the elders 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, he said unto them, Ye yourselves know, from the first day that I set foot in Asia, after what manner I was with you 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 lowliness of mind, and with tears, and with trials which befell me by the plots 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 that I shrank not from declaring unto you anything that was profitable, and teaching 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 to Greeks repentance toward God, and faith toward 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, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that 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 testifieth unto me in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.

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 hold not my life of any account, as dear unto myself, so that I may accomplish my course, and the ministry 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 ye all, among whom I went about preaching the kingdom, 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 testify unto you this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.

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

For I shrank not from declaring unto you the whole 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 unto yourselves, and to all the flock, in the which the Holy Ghost hath made you bishops, to feed the church of God, which he 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 departing grievous wolves shall 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 from among your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.

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

Wherefore watch ye, remembering that by the space of three years I ceased not to admonish every one night and day with tears.

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, which is able to build [you] up, and to give [you] the inheritance among all them that are sanctified.

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

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

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

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

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.”

In all things I gave you an example, how that so labouring ye ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

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

And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and 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 they all wept sore, and fell on Paul’s neck, and 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.

Sorrowing most of all for the word which he had spoken, that they should behold his face no more. And they brought him on his way unto the ship.
