Acts 20

1 After the uproar had ceased, Paul sent for the disciples, took leave of them, and departed to go into Macedonia.

Now, after the tumult was ceased, Paul, calling the disciples to him: and embracing them, departed to go into Macedonia.

2 When he had gone through those parts and had encouraged them with many words, he came into Greece.

And going through those parts, and having exhorted them with much discourse, he came into Greece.

3 When he had spent three months there, and a plot was made against him by Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he determined to return through Macedonia.

And when he had continued there three months, as an ambush was laid for him by the Jews, when he was about to embark for Syria, he thought it advisable to return by Macedonia.

4 These accompanied him as far as Asia: Sopater of Beroea, Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, Gaius of Derbe, Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia.

And Sopater, the Berean, accompanied him as far as Asia; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius, of Derbe, and Timothy: and of the Asiatics, Tychicus and Trophimus.

5 But these had gone ahead, and were waiting for us at Troas.

These, going before, staid for us at Troas.

6 We sailed away from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and came to them at Troas in five days, where we stayed seven days.

And we set sail from Philippi, after the days of unleavened bread, and came to them at Troas in five days, where we continued seven days.

7 On the first day of the week, when the disciples were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day; and continued his speech until midnight.

And on the first day of the week, when the disciples met together to break bread, Paul, being about to depart on the morrow, discoursed to them, and continued his speech until midnight.

8 There were many lights in the upper room where we were gathered together.

And there were many lamps in the upper room, in which we were assembled;

9 A certain young man named Eutychus sat in the window, weighed down with deep sleep. As Paul spoke still longer, being weighed down by his sleep, he fell down from the third floor and was taken up dead.

and a certain young man, whose name was Eutychus, sitting in a window, fell into a profound sleep: and as Paul continued his discourse a long time, he was so overpowered with sleep that he fell down from the third story, and was taken up dead.

10 Paul went down and fell upon him, and embracing him said, “Don’t be troubled, for his life is in him.”

And Paul went down, and fell upon him, and taking him in his arms, said, Do not make any disturbance, for his life is in him.

11 When he had gone up, had broken bread and eaten, and had talked with them a long while, even until break of day, he departed.

And going up again, and having broken bread, and eaten, he conversed a considerable time, even till break of day, and so departed.

12 They brought the boy in alive, and were greatly comforted.

And they brought the youth alive, and were not a little comforted.

13 But we, going ahead to the ship, set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul aboard there; for he had so arranged, intending himself to go by land.

But we went before into the ship, and sailed to Assos, where we are to take up Paul, for so he had appointed, choosing himself to go on foot.

14 When he met us at Assos, we took him aboard and came to Mitylene.

And as soon as he joined us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene,

15 Sailing from there, we came the following day opposite Chios. The next day we touched at Samos and stayed at Trogyllium, and the day after we came to Miletus.

And sailing thence, we came the next day over against Chios; and the day following, we touched at Samos, and having staid at Trogyllium, we came the day after to Miletus.

16 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 in Jerusalem on the day of Shavu`ot.

For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, that he might not spend any time in Asia; for he earnestly endeavored, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.

17 From Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called to himself the elders of the assembly.

But, sending to Ephesus, from Miletus, he called thither the elders of the congregation.

18 When they had come to him, he said to them, “You yourselves know, from the first day that I set foot in Asia, how I was with you all the time,

And when they were come to him, he said to them, You know how I have been conversant among you all the time, from the first day in which I entered into Asia,

19 serving the Lord with all humility, with many tears, and with trials which happened to me by the plots of the Jews;

serving the Lord, with all humility, and with tears, and trials which befell me by the ambushes of the Jews:

20 how I didn’t shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, teaching you publicly and from house to house,

and how I have suppressed nothing that was advantageous, not neglecting to announce to you, and to teach you publicly and privately;

21 testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Yeshua.

testifying both to the Jews and Greeks, reformation with respect to God, and faith with respect to our Lord Jesus Christ.

22 Now, behold, I go bound by the Spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there;

And now, behold, I am going to Jerusalem, bound by the Spirit, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:

23 except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions wait for me.

except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions await me.

24 But these things don’t count; nor do I hold my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Yeshua, to fully testify to the Good News of the grace of God.

But I make no account of any of these things, nor do I regard even life itself; so that I may but joyfully finish my course, and the ministry which I have received of the Lord Jesus, even to testify the good news of the favor of God.

25 “Now, behold, I know that you all, among whom I went about proclaiming God’s Kingdom, will see my face no more.

And now, behold, I know that you all, with whom I have conversed, proclaiming the kingdom of God, shall not see my face any more.

26 Therefore I testify to you today that I am clean from the blood of all men,

Wherefore, I testify to you this day, that I am clear from the blood of all men.

27 for I didn’t shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.

For I have not declined to declare to you all the counsel of God.

28 Take heed, therefore, to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the assembly of the Lord and God which he purchased with his own blood.

Therefore, take heed to yourselves, and to the whole flock over which the Holy Spirit has constituted you overseers; to feed the congregation of the Lord, which he has redeemed with his own blood.

29 For I know that after my departure, vicious wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

For I know this, that after my departure, grievous wolves will enter in among you, having no mercy on the flock.

30 Men will arise from among your own selves, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.

Yes, from among your own selves men shall arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.

31 Therefore watch, remembering that for a period of three years I didn’t cease to admonish everyone night and day with tears.

Watch, therefore, remembering that for the space of three years, I ceased not to warn every one, night and day, with tears.

32 Now, brothers, I entrust you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

And now, brethren, I recommend you to God, and to the word of his favor, who is able to edify you, and to give you an inheritance among all that are sanctified.

33 I coveted no one’s silver, gold, or clothing.

I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.

34 You yourselves know that these hands served my necessities, and those who were with me.

Yes, you yourselves know, that these hands ministered to my necessities, and to those that were with me.

35 In all things I gave you an example, that so laboring you ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Yeshua, that he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

I have showed you all things; how, that thus laboring, you ought to assist the infirm, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, It is much happier to give than to receive.

36 When he had spoken these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all.

And having said these things, he kneeled down and prayed with them all.

37 They all wept freely, and fell on Paul’s neck and kissed him,

And there was great lamentation among them all: and falling upon Paul's neck, they kissed him;

38 sorrowing most of all because of the word which he had spoken, that they should see his face no more. Then they accompanied him to the ship.

especially grieving for that word which he spoke, that they should see his face no more. And they conducted him to the ship.
