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 tumult was over, Paul sent for the disciples to him, and having embraced them, departed 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 having passed through those parts, and given them much exhortation, 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 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.

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 to Asia, Sopater the Berean, and of the Thessalonians Aristarchus and Secundus, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy: and the Asiatics,

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

Tychicus and Trophimus, who went before and stayed 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 after the days of unleavened bread we sailed from Philippi, and came to them at Troas in five days, where we spent 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 were assembled together to break bread, Paul being about to depart on the morrow, preached unto them, and continued his discourse till 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 lamps in the upper room where they were assembled.

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 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.

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 leaned over him, and took him up and said, Be not disturbed; 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.

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.

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

And they brought in 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.

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.

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

And as soon as he joined 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 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.

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, that he might not spend time in Asia: for he endeavoured, if it were possible, to be at Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.

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

But he sent from Miletus 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, Ye know in what manner I behaved among you all the time, from the first day that I came into Asia.

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, and many tears, and trials which befel me by the ambushes 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 with-held nothing that was useful, but have declared it to 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 Greeks, repentance towards God, and faith in 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, being constrained by the spirit, behold I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will befal 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 testifieth in every city, that bonds and afflictions await 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 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.

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 ye 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 call you to witness this day, that I am clear 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 failed 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 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.

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 departure grievous wolves will 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.

And from among yourselves 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.

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

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

I have coveted no one'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.

and ye yourselves know that these hands have ministred to my necessities, and to those 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 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.

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

And when he had said these things, 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 were all much grieved, and fell on Paul's neck, and kissed him: sorrowing most of all at the word which he spake,

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.

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