Acts 20
1 But, after the tumult had ceased, Paul, sending for the disciples and exhorting them, took leave, and went forth to be journeying unto Macedonia.
ⲁ̅ⲙⲉⲛⲉⲛⲥⲁ ⳿ⲑⲣⲉϥⲟⲩⲱ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ϣⲑⲟⲣⲧⲉⲣ ⳿ⲁ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲱⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲓⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥϯⲛⲟⲙϯ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⲁϥⲉⲣⲁⲥⲡⲁⲍⲉⲥⲑⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲉϣⲉ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲑⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ.
2 Passing through those parts, however, and exhorting them with much discourse, he came into Greece;

3 and, spending three months, when a plot was laid against him by the Jews, as he was about to sail to Syria, he determined to turn back through Macedonia.

4 Now there were accompanying him, Sopater, son of Pyrrhus a Beroean; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe and Timothy; and, of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.

5 And, these, came and were waiting for us at Troas.

6 And, we, sailed forth, after the days of unleavened bread, from Philippi, and came unto them in Troas in five days, where we tarried seven days.

7 And, on the first of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul went on to discourse with them, being about to depart on the morrow; and he prolonged his discourse until midnight.

9 And there sat, a certain young man by name Eutychus, in the window, who was getting overpowered by a deep sleep; and, while Paul was discoursing yet further, being overpowered by his sleep, he fell, from the third story, down, and was taken up dead.
ⲑ̅ⲛⲁϥϩⲉⲙⲥⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲟⲩϧⲉⲗϣ⳿⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲩⲧⲩⲭⲟⲥ ϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲓϣⲟⲩϣⲧ ⲉϥⲟⲃϣ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛⲉⲛⲕⲟⲧ ⳿ⲉⲣⲉ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲁ ⲡⲓⲉⲛⲕⲟⲧ ⲥⲟⲕϥ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲁϥϩⲉⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲙⲁϩⲅ̅ϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲁϩⲙⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩϥⲓⲧϥ ⲉϥⲙⲱⲟⲩⲧ.
10 Going down, however, Paul fell upon him, and, embracing him, said—Be not making confusion; for, his soul, is, in him.

11 And, going up, and breaking the loaf, and tasting, —for a good while also conversing, until dawn, thus, he departed.

12 And they brought the boy alive, and were comforted beyond measure.

13 And, we, going forward unto the ship, set sail for Assos, from thence being about to take up Paul; for, so, had he arranged, being about, himself, to go on foot.

14 And, when he fell in with us in Assos, we took him on board, and came into Mitylene;

15 and, from thence sailing away on the morrow, we came over against Chios, and, on the next day, we thrust aside into Samos, and, on the succeeding day, we came into Miletus.

16 For Paul had determined to sail past Ephesus, lest he should happen to lose time in Asia; for he hastened, if it were possible for him, against the day of Pentecost, to arrive, in Jerusalem.

17 But, from Miletus, he sent unto Ephesus, and called for the elders of the assembly.

18 And, when they were come to him, he said unto them—Ye yourselves, well know, from the first day when I set foot in Asia, in what manner came to be with you all the time,

35 In all things, I gave you to understand, that, thus toiling, it behoves to be helping the weak, also to be keeping in mind the words of the Lord Jesus, that, he himself, said—Happy is it, rather to give than to receive!
