Acts 20

1 And after the tumult was over, Paul sent for the disciples to him, and having embraced them, departed to go into Macedonia.

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

2 And having passed through those parts, and given them much exhortation, he came into Greece.

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

3 And when he had spent three months there, the Jews having laid wait for him as he was going to embark for Syria, he determined to return by Macedonia.

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.

4 And there accompanied him to Asia, Sopater the Berean, and of the Thessalonians Aristarchus and Secundus, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy: and the Asiatics,

He was accompanied by Sopater son of Pyrrhus of Beroea; Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians; Gaius of Derbe; Timothy; and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia.

5 Tychicus and Trophimus, who went before and stayed for us at Troas.

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

6 And after the days of unleavened bread we sailed from Philippi, and came to them at Troas in five days, where we spent seven days.

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.

7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples were assembled together to break bread, Paul being about to depart on the morrow, preached unto them, and continued his discourse till midnight.

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

8 And there were many lamps in the upper room where they were assembled.

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

9 And a young man named Eutychus, who sat in a window, falling into a deep sleep, as Paul was discoursing for a long time, sunk down and fell from the third story, and was taken up dead.

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 story, and was taken up dead.

10 And Paul went down and leaned over him, and took him up and said, Be not disturbed; for his life is in him.

Paul went down, and fell upon him, and embracing him said, "Do not be troubled, for his life is in him."

11 Then he went up again, and having broken bread and eaten, and conversed with them a considerable time, even till break of day, he departed.

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

12 And they brought in the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.

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

13 But we went before to the ship, and sailed to Assos, being there to take in Paul: for so he had appointed, designing himself to go on foot.

But we who went 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.

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

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

15 And sailing from thence we came the next day over against Chios; and the day following we arrived at Samos, and stopping at Trogyllium, we came the day after to Miletus.

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

16 For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, that he might not spend time in Asia: for he endeavoured, if it were possible, to be at Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.

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 Pentecost.

17 But he sent from Miletus to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church.

From Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called to himself the elders of the church.

18 And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know in what manner I behaved among you all the time, from the first day that I came into Asia.

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,

19 Serving the Lord with all humility, and many tears, and trials which befel me by the ambushes of the Jews.

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

20 And how I with-held nothing that was useful, but have declared it to you, and have taught you publicly and from house to house:

how I did not hold back from declaring to you anything that was profitable, and teaching you publicly and from house to house,

21 testifying both to the Jews and Greeks, repentance towards God, and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.

testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus.

22 And now, being constrained by the spirit, behold I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will befal me there:

And now, look, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there;

23 save that the holy Spirit testifieth in every city, that bonds and afflictions await me.

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

24 But none of these things move me, nor do I account my life dear, so that I may finish my course with joy, and the ministry which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

But I make my life an account of nothing precious to myself, so that I may finish my race, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to fully testify to the Good News of the grace of God.

25 And now behold I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.

"And now, look, I know that you all, among whom I went about proclaiming the Kingdom, will see my face no more.

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

Therefore I testify to you today that I am innocent of everyone's blood,

27 For I have not failed to declare unto you all the counsel of God.

for I did not hold back from declaring to you the whole plan of God.

28 Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock, in which the holy Spirit hath appointed you bishops, to feed the church of God, which He purchased with his own blood.

Watch out for yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which he purchased with his own blood.

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

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

30 And from among yourselves shall men arise, speaking perverse things to draw away disciples after them.

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

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

Therefore watch, remembering that for a period of three years I did not cease to admonish everyone night and day with tears.

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

Now 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.

33 I have coveted no one's silver, or gold, or apparel:

I coveted no one's silver, or gold, or clothing.

34 and ye yourselves know that these hands have ministred to my necessities, and to those that were with me.

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

35 I have shewed you in all things, that by labouring thus ye ought to support the infirm; and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, who said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

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 Jesus, that he himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"

36 And when he had said these things, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all.

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

37 And they were all much grieved, and fell on Paul's neck, and kissed him: sorrowing most of all at the word which he spake,

They all wept a lot, and fell on Paul's neck and kissed him,

38 that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.

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