Acts 20

1 And aftir the noise ceesside, Poul clepide the disciplis, and monestide hem, and seide fare wel; and he wente forth, to go in to Macedonye.

And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto him the disciples, and embraced them, and departed in order to go into Macedonia.

2 And whanne he hadde walkid bi tho coostis, and hadde monestid hem bi many wordis, he cam to Greece.

And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much exhortation, (logos) he came into Greece,

3 Where whanne he hadde be thre monethis, the Jewis leiden aspies for hym, that was to saile in to Sirie; and he hadde counsel to turne ayen bi Macedonye.

And there abode three months. And when the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria, he purposed to return through Macedonia.

4 And Sosipater of Pirri Boroense folowide hym; of Thessolonycenses, Astirak, and Secoundus, and Gayus Derbeus, and Tymothe; and Asians, Titicus and Trofimus.

And there accompanied him into Asia Sopater of Berea; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.

5 These for thei wenten bifore, aboden vs at Troade.

These going before tarried for us at Troas.

6 For we schippiden aftir the daies of therf looues fro Filippis, and cam to hem at Troade in fyue daies, where we dwelten seuene daies.

And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we abode seven days.

7 And in the first dai of the woke, whanne we camen to breke breed, Poul disputide with hem, and schulde go forth in the morew;

And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the next day; and continued his speech (logos) until midnight.

8 and he drow along the sermoun til in to mydnyyt. And many laumpes weren in the soler, where we weren gaderyd togidir.

And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together.

9 And a yong man, Euticus bi name, sat on the wyndowe, whanne he was fallun in to an heuy sleep, while Poul disputide long, al slepynge he felle doun fro the thridde stage; and he was takun vp, and was brouyt deed.

And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third upper room, and was taken up dead.

10 To whom whanne Poul cam doun, he lay on hym, and biclippide, and seide, Nyle ye be troblid; for his soule is in hym.

And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.

11 And he wente vp, and brak breed, and eete, and spak ynowy vnto the dai; and so he wente forth.

When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed.

12 And thei brouyten the childe alyue, and thei weren coumfortid greetli.

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

13 And we wenten vp in to a schip, and schippiden in to Asson, to take Poul fro thennus; for so he hadde disposid to make iourney bi loond.

And we went on board ship, and sailed unto Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, minding himself to go on foot.

14 And whanne he foond vs in Asson, we token hym, and camen to Mitilene.

And when he met with us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene.

15 And fro thennus we schippiden in the dai suynge, and we camen ayens Chyum, and another dai we hauenyden at Samum, and in the dai suynge we camen to Mylete.

And we sailed thence, and came the next day opposite to Chios; and the next day we arrived at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium; and the next day we came to Miletus.

16 And Poul purposide to schip ouer to Efesi, lest ony tariyng were maad to hym in Asie; for he hiyede, if it were possible to hym, that he schulde be in the dai of Pentecost at Jerusalem.

For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.

17 Fro Mylete he sente to Effesi, and clepide the grettest men of birthe of the chirche.

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

18 And whanne thei camen to hym, and weren togidir, he seide to hem, Ye witen fro the firste dai, in which Y cam in to Asie, hou with you bi eche tyme Y was,

And when they were come to him, he said unto them, All of you know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons,

19 seruynge to the Lord with al mekenesse, and mildnesse, and teeris, and temptaciouns, that felden to me of aspiyngis of Jewis;

Serving the LORD with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:

20 hou Y withdrowe not of profitable thingis to you, that Y telde not to you, and tauyte you opynli, and bi housis;

And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have showed you, and have taught you publicly, and from house to house,

21 and Y witnesside to Jewis and to hethene men penaunce in to God, and feith in to oure Lord Jhesu Crist.

Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

22 And now lo! Y am boundun in spirit, and go in to Jerusalem; and Y knowe not what thingis schulen come to me in it,

And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit (pneuma) unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:

23 but that the Hooli Goost `bi alle citees witnessith to me, and seith, that boondis and tribulaciouns at Jerusalem abiden me.

Save that the Holy Spirit (pneuma) witnesses in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.

24 But Y drede no thing of these, nether Y make my lijf preciousere than my silf, so that Y end my cours, and the mynysterie of the word, which Y resseyuede of the Lord Jhesu, to witnesse the gospel of the grace of God.

But none of these things (logos) move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might 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.

25 And `now lo! Y woot, that ye schulen no more se my face, alle ye bi whiche Y passide, prechynge the kingdom of God.

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

26 Wherfor Y witnesse to you this day, that Y am cleen of the blood of alle men.

Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.

27 For Y fley not awey, that Y telde not to you al the counsel of God.

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

28 Take ye tente to you, and to al the flocke, in which the Hooli Goost hath set you bischops, to reule the chirche of God, which he purchaside with his blood.

Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Spirit (pneuma) has made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he has purchased with his own blood.

29 Y woot, that aftir my departyng, rauyschinge wolues schulen entre in to you, `and spare not the flok;

For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

30 and men spekinge schrewid thingis schulen rise of you silf, that thei leden awei disciplis aftir hem.

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

31 For which thing wake ye, holdinge in mynde that bi thre yeer nyyt and dai Y ceesside not with teeris monestinge ech of you.

Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.

32 And now Y bitake you to God and to the word of his grace, that is myyti to edifie and yyue eritage in alle that ben maad hooli.

And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word (logos) of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.

33 And of no man Y coueitide siluer, and gold, ether cloth, as you silf witen;

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

34 for to tho thingis that weren nedeful to me, and to these that ben with me, these hoondis mynystriden.

Yea, all of you yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.

35 Alle these thingis Y schewide to you, for so it bihoueth men trauelinge to resseyue sike men, and to haue mynde of the `word of the Lord Jhesu; for he seide, It is more blesful to yyue, than to resseyue.

I have showed you all things, how that so labouring all of you ought to support the weak, and to remember the words (logos) of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

36 And whanne he hadde seid these thingis, he knelide, and he preiede with alle hem.

And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all.

37 And greet weping of alle men was maad; and thei felden on the necke of Poul, and kissiden hym,

And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul's neck, and kissed him,

38 and sorewiden moost in the word that he seide, for thei schulen no more se his face. And thei ledden hym to the schip.

Sorrowing most of all for the words (logos) which he spoke, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him unto the ship.
