< Acts 20 >

1 When the uproar had ceased, Paul sent for the disciples; and, after speaking words of encouragement to them, he took his leave, and started for Macedonia.

2 Passing through those districts he encouraged the disciples in frequent addresses, and then came into Greece, and spent three months there.

3 The Jews having planned to waylay him whenever he might be on the point of taking ship for Syria, he decided to travel back by way of Macedonia.

4 He was accompanied as far as the province of Asia by Sopater the Beroean, the son of Pyrrhus; by the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; by Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and by the Asians, Tychicus and Trophimus.

5 These brethren had gone on and were waiting for us in the Troad.

6 But we ourselves sailed from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and five days later joined them in the Troad, where we remained for a week.
ⲋ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛⲥϭⲏⲣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲉⲫⲓⲗⲓⲡⲡⲟⲥ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲑⲁⲃ ⲁⲛⲉⲓ ϣⲁⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲫⲟⲩⲛ ⲛϯⲟⲩⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲣⲱⲁⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲛⲣⲥⲁϣϥ ⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ
7 On the first day of the week, when we had met to break bread, Paul, who was going away the next morning, was preaching to them, and prolonged his discourse till midnight.
ⲍ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲛⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ ⲉⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩϩ ⲉⲡⲡⲱϣ ⲙⲡⲟⲓⲕ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉϥϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲡⲉⲉϥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲥⲧⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲥⲱⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲙⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ϣⲁ ⲧⲡⲁϣⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲩϣⲏ
8 Now there were a good many lamps in the room upstairs where we all were,

9 and a youth of the name of Eutychus was sitting at the window. This lad, gradually sinking into deep sleep while Paul preached at unusual length, overcome at last by sleep, fell from the second floor and was taken up dead.
ⲑ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲩⲛ ⲟⲩϩⲣϣⲓⲣⲉ ϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ϩⲓϫⲙ ⲡϣⲟⲩϣⲧ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲩⲧⲩⲭⲟⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛϩⲓⲛⲏⲃ ⲥⲱⲕ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϣⲁϫⲉ ⲁⲡϩⲓⲛⲏⲃ ϩⲣⲟϣ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲱϥ ⲉⲡⲉϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥϩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓϫⲛ ⲧⲙⲉϩϣⲟⲙⲧⲉ ⲛϩⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϥⲓⲧϥ ⲉϥⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ
10 Paul, however, went down, threw himself upon him, and folding him in his arms said, "Do not be alarmed; his life is still in him."

11 Then he went upstairs again, broke bread, and took some food; and after a long conversation which was continued till daybreak, at last he parted from them.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲁϥⲡⲱϣ ⲙⲡⲟⲉⲓⲕ ⲁϥϫⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲱⲥⲕ ⲉϥϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲩ ϣⲁⲛⲧⲉⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ϩⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲓϩⲉ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ
12 They had taken the lad home alive, and were greatly comforted.

13 The rest of us had already gone on board a ship, and now we set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul on board there; for so he had arranged, he himself intending to go by land.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛⲣϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲡϫⲟⲓ ⲁⲛⲥϭⲏⲣ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲑⲁⲣⲥⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲁⲗⲉ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲟϣⲥ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲛ ⲉϥⲛⲁⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲛⲣⲁⲧϥ
14 Accordingly, when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and came to Mitylene.

15 Sailing from there, we arrived the next day off Chios. On the next we touched at Samos; and on the day following reached Miletus.

16 For Paul's plan was to sail past Ephesus, so as not to spend much time in the province of Asia; since he was very desirous of being in Jerusalem, if possible, on the day of the Harvest Festival.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲛⲉⲁⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲟⲟⲛⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲫⲉⲥⲟⲥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲛⲛⲉϥⲱⲥⲕ ϩⲛ ⲧⲁⲥⲓⲁ ⲛⲉϥϭⲉⲡⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ϥⲛⲁϣϭⲙϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲣ ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲡⲉⲛⲧⲏⲕⲟⲥⲧⲏ ϩⲛ ⲑⲓⲗⲏⲙ
17 From Miletus he sent to Ephesus for the Elders of the Church to come to him.

18 Upon their arrival he said to them, "You Elders well know, from the first day of my setting foot in the province of Asia, the kind of life I lived among you the whole time,

22 "And now, impelled by a sense of duty, I am on my way to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there,

23 except that the Holy Spirit, at town after town, testifies to me that imprisonment and suffering are awaiting me.

24 But even the sacrifice of my life I count as nothing, if only I may perfect my earthly course, and be faithful to the duty which the Lord Jesus has entrusted to me of proclaiming, as of supreme importance, the Good News of God's grace.

35 In all things I have set you an example, showing you that, by working as I do, you ought to help the weak, and to bear in mind the words of the Lord Jesus, how He Himself said, "'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"
