Acts 20

1 And after the ceasing of the tumult, Paul having called near the disciples, and having embraced [them], went forth to go on to Macedonia;

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

2 and having gone through those parts, and having exhorted them with many words, he came to Greece;

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

3 having made also three months' [stay] — a counsel of the Jews having been against him — being about to set forth to Syria, there came [to him] a resolution of returning through Macedonia.

And there stayed 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 there were accompanying him unto Asia, Sopater of Berea, and of Thessalonians Aristarchus and Secundus, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus, and of Asiatics Tychicus and Trophimus;

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, having gone before, did remain for us in Troas,

These going before tarried for us at Troas.

6 and we sailed, after the days of the unleavened food, from Philippi, and came unto them to Troas in five days, where we abode seven days.

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

7 And on the first of the week, the disciples having been gathered together to break bread, Paul was discoursing to them, about to depart on the morrow, he was also continuing the discourse till midnight,

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

8 and there were many lamps in the upper chamber where they were gathered together,

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

9 and there was sitting a certain youth, by name Eutychus, upon the window — being borne down by a deep sleep, Paul discoursing long — he having sunk down from the sleep, fell down from the third story, and was lifted up dead.

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 loft, and was taken up dead.

10 And Paul, having gone down, fell upon him, and having embraced [him], said, 'Make no tumult, for his life is in him;'

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

11 and having come up, and having broken bread, and having tasted, for a long time also having talked — till daylight, so he went 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 they brought up the lad alive, and were comforted in no ordinary measure.

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

13 And we having gone before unto the ship, did sail to Assos, thence intending to take in Paul, for so he had arranged, intending himself to go on foot;

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

14 and when he met with us at Assos, having taken him up, we came to Mitylene,

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

15 and thence having sailed, on the morrow we came over-against Chios, and the next day we arrived at Samos, and having remained in Trogyllium, on the following day we came to Miletus,

And we sailed there, and came the next day over against Chios; and the next day we arrived at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium; and the next day we came to Miletus.

16 for Paul decided to sail past Ephesus, that there may not be to him a loss of time in Asia, for he hasted, if it were possible for him, on the day of the Pentecost to be at Jerusalem.

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

17 And from Miletus, having sent to Ephesus, he called for the elders of the assembly,

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

18 and when they were come unto him, he said to them, 'Ye — ye know from the first day in which I came to Asia, how, with you at all times I was;

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

19 serving the Lord with all humility, and many tears, and temptations, that befell me in the counsels of the Jews against [me];

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 how nothing I did keep back of what things are profitable, not to declare to you, and to teach you publicly, and in every house,

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

21 testifying fully both to Jews and Greeks, toward God reformation, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

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

22 'And now, lo, I — bound in the Spirit — go on to Jerusalem, the things that shall befall me in it not knowing,

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

23 save that the Holy Spirit in every city doth testify fully, saying, that for me bonds and tribulations remain;

Save that the Holy Ghost witnesses in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.

24 but I make account of none of these, neither do I count my life precious to myself, so that I finish my course with joy, and the ministration that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify fully the good news of the grace of God.

But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear to 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, I have known that no more shall ye see my face, — ye all among whom I did go preaching the reign of God;

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

26 wherefore I take you to witness this day, that I [am] clear from the blood of all,

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

27 for I did not keep back from declaring to you all the counsel of God.

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

28 'Take heed, therefore, to yourselves, and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit made you overseers, to feed the assembly of God that He acquired through His own blood,

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

29 for I have known this, that there shall enter in, after my departing, grievous wolves unto you, not sparing the flock,

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

30 and of your own selves there shall arise men, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.

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

31 'Therefore, watch, remembering that three years, night and day, I did not cease with tears warning each one;

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, I commend you, brethren, to God, and to the word of His grace, that is able to build up, and to give you an inheritance among all those sanctified.

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

33 'The silver or gold or garments of no one did I covet;

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

34 and ye yourselves know that to my necessities, and to those who were with me, minister did these hands;

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

35 all things I did shew you, that, thus labouring, it behoveth [us] to partake with the ailing, to be mindful also of the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.'

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

36 And these things having said, having bowed his knees, with them all, he did pray,

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

37 and there came a great weeping to all, and having fallen upon the neck of Paul, they were kissing him,

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

38 sorrowing most of all for the word that he had said — that they are about no more to see his face; and they were accompanying him to the ship.

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