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.

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

2 Passing through those parts, however, and exhorting them with much discourse, he came into Greece;

and having gone through those parts, and having exhorted them with many words, he came to 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.

having made also three months' [stay] — 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.

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.

And there were accompanying him unto Asia, Sopater of Berea, and of Thessalonians Aristarchus and Secundus, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus, and of Asiatics Tychicus and Trophimus;

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

these, having gone before, did remain for us in 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.

and we sailed, after the days of the unleavened food, from Philippi, and came unto them to Troas in five days, where we abode 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.

And on the first of the week, the disciples having been gathered together to break bread, Paul was discoursing to them, about to depart on the morrow, he was also continuing the discourse till midnight,

8 Now there were a good many torches in the upper room, where we were gathered together.

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

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.

and there was sitting a certain youth, by name Eutychus, upon 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.

10 Going down, however, Paul fell upon him, and, embracing him, said—Be not making confusion; for, his soul, is, in him.

And Paul, having gone down, fell upon him, and having embraced [him], said, 'Make no tumult, for his life is in him;'

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

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

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

and they brought up the lad alive, and were comforted in no ordinary 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.

And we having gone before unto the ship, did sail to Assos, thence intending to take in Paul, for so he had arranged, intending himself to go on foot;

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

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

and thence having sailed, on the morrow we came over-against Chios, and the next day we arrived at Samos, and having remained in Trogyllium, on the following day we came to 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.

for Paul decided to sail past Ephesus, that there may not be to him a loss of time in Asia, for he hasted, if it were possible for him, on the day of the Pentecost to be at Jerusalem.

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

And from Miletus, having sent to Ephesus, he 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,

and when they were come unto him, he said to them, 'Ye — ye know from the first day in which I came to Asia, how, with you at all times I was;

19 doing service unto the Lord, with all humility and tears, and temptations which befell me through the plots of the Jews:

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

20 in what manner I in nowise shrank from announcing unto you anything that was profitable and teaching you publicly and in your homes;

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

21 bearing full witness, both to Jews and to Greeks, as to the repentance due unto God, and as to belief on our Lord Jesus.

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

22 And, now, lo! I, bound in my spirit, am journeying unto Jerusalem; the things which therein shall befall me, not knowing, —

'And now, lo, I — bound in the Spirit — go on to Jerusalem, the things that shall befall me in it not knowing,

23 save that, the Holy Spirit, from city to city, doth bear me full witness, saying that, bonds and tribulations, await me.

save that the Holy Spirit in every city doth testify fully, saying, that for me bonds and tribulations remain;

24 But, for no cause whatever, am I making my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my course and the ministry which I have received from the Lord Jesus, to bear full witness as to the good news of the favour of God.

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 ministration that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify fully the good news of the grace of God.

25 And, now, lo! I, know that, no more, shall ye see my face, —ye all, among whom I have gone about proclaiming the kingdom.

'And now, lo, I have known that no more shall ye see my face, — ye all among whom I did go preaching the reign of God;

26 Wherefore I take you to witness, on this very day, that, pure am I from the blood of all;

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

27 for I have not shrunk from announcing all the counsel of God unto you.

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

28 Be taking heed unto yourselves, and unto all the little flock in which the Holy Spirit hath set, you, as overseers, —to be shepherding the assembly of God which he hath acquired through means of the blood of his own.

'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,

29 I, know, that there will enter, after my departure, grievous wolves into your midst, not sparing the little flock;

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

30 and, from among your own selves, will arise men speaking distorted things, to draw away the disciples after themselves.

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

31 Wherefore, be on the watch, remembering that, for three years, night and day, I gave myself no rest, with tears, admonishing each one.

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

32 Now, therefore, I commend you unto the Lord, and unto his word of favour, —which is able to build up and give the inheritance among all the hallowed ones.

and now, I commend you, brethren, 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.

33 The silver or gold or apparel of no one, did I covet:

'The silver or gold or garments of no one did I covet;

34 yourselves, acknowledge that, for my necessities and for those who were with me, hard wrought these hands!

and ye yourselves know that to my necessities, and to those who were with me, minister did these hands;

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!

all things I did shew you, that, thus labouring, it behoveth [us] to partake with the ailing, to be mindful also of the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.'

36 And, these things saying, kneeling down with them all, he prayed.

And these things having said, having bowed his knees, with them all, he did pray,

37 And they all wept much, and, falling upon Paul’s neck, they were tenderly kissing him;

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

38 being most distressed for the word which he had said, —That, no more, should they, his face, behold. And they accompanied him unto the ship.

sorrowing most of all for the word that he had said — that they are about no more to see his face; and they were accompanying him to the ship.
