< Acts 20 >

1 After the uproar ceased, Paul summoned the disciples, said goodbye, and departed to go to Macedonia.

3 where he stayed for three months. As he was about to set sail for Syria, a plot was made against him by the Jews, so the decision was made to return by way of Macedonia.

4 Sopater of Berea accompanied him as far as Asia, and so did Aristarchus and Secundus of Thessalonica, Gaius of Derbe, Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia.

5 These men went on ahead and waited for us in Troas.

6 But we sailed from Philippi after the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and five days later we came to them at Troas, where we stayed for seven days.

7 On the first day of the week, as the disciples were gathered together to break bread, Paul addressed them, intending to depart the next day, and he prolonged his message until midnight.
ⲍ̅ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲁⲛⲑⲱⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲫⲱϣ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲓⲕ ⲛⲁϥⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲉϥⲛⲁ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲥϯ ⲛⲁϥⲫⲱⲣϣ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϣⲁ ⳿ⲧⲫⲁϣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲣϩ.
8 Now there were many lamps in the upper room where we were gathered together,

9 and a young man named Eutychus, who was sitting on the window sill, sank into a deep sleep while Paul continued speaking for a long time. Overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story and was picked 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 But Paul went down and threw himself on the young man. Taking him in his arms, he said, “Do not be alarmed, for his life is in him.”

11 Then Paul went back upstairs, and after he had broken bread and eaten, he conversed with the disciples for a long time, until dawn; that was how he departed.

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

13 Then we went to the ship and set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul on board there, for that is what he had arranged, since he himself intended to go by land.

15 We set sail from there and arrived off Chios on the following day. The next day we reached Samos and stayed in Trogyllium, and the day after that we came to Miletus.

16 For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus so as not to spend time in Asia, because he was hurrying to arrive in Jerusalem, if possible, by the day of Pentecost.

17 From Miletus Paul sent to Ephesus and called for the elders of the church.

18 When they came to him, he said to them, “You yourselves know how I lived the whole time I was with you, from the day I first set foot in Asia,
