Actuum Apostolorum 20

1 Postquam autem cessavit tumultus, vocatis Paulus discipulis, et exhortatus eos, valedixit, et profectus est ut iret in Macedoniam.

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

2 Cum autem perambulasset partes illas, et exhortatus eos fuisset multo sermone, venit ad Græciam:

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

3 ubi cum fecisset menses tres, factæ sunt illi insidiæ a Iudæis navigaturo in Syriam: habuitque consilium ut reverteretur per Macedoniam.

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 Comitatus est autem eum Sopater Pyrrhi Berœensis, Thessalonicensium vero Aristarchus, et Secundus, et Gaius Derbeus, et Timotheus: Asiani vero Tychicus, et Trophimus.

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 Hi cum præcessissent, sustinuerunt nos Troade:

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

6 nos vero navigavimus post dies Azymorum a Philippis, et venimus ad eos Troadem in diebus quinque, ubi demorati sumus diebus septem.

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 Una autem Sabbati cum convenissemus ad frangendum panem, Paulus disputabat cum eis profecturus in crastinum, protraxitque sermonem usque in mediam noctem.

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 Erant autem lampades copiosæ in cœnaculo, ubi eramus congregati.

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

9 Sedens autem quidam adolescens nomine Eutychus super fenestram, cum mergeretur somno gravi, disputante diu Paulo, ductus somno cecidit de tertio cœnaculo deorsum, et sublatus est mortuus.

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 Ad quem cum descendisset Paulus, incubuit super eum: et complexus dixit: Nolite turbari, anima enim ipsius in ipso est.

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

11 Ascendens autem, frangensque panem, et gustans, satisque allocutus usque in lucem, sic profectus est.

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 Adduxerunt autem puerum viventem, et consolati sunt non minime.

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

13 Nos autem ascendentes navem, navigavimus in Asson, inde suscepturi Paulum: sic enim disposuerat ipse per terram iter facturus.

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 Cum autem convenisset nos in Asson, assumpto eo, venimus Mitylenen.

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

15 Et inde navigantes, sequenti die venimus contra Chium, et alia applicuimus Samum, et sequenti die venimus Miletum.

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 Proposuerat enim Paulus transnavigare Ephesum, ne qua mora illi fieret in Asia. Festinabat enim, si possibile sibi esset, ut diem Pentecostes faceret Ierosolymis.

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 A Mileto autem mittens Ephesum, vocavit Maiores natu Ecclesiæ.

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

18 Qui cum venissent ad eum, et simul essent, dixit eis: Vos scitis a prima die, qua ingressus sum in Asiam, qualiter vobiscum per omne tempus fuerim,

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 serviens Domino cum omni humilitate, et lacrymis, et tentationibus, quæ mihi acciderunt ex insidiis Iudæorum:

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

20 quo modo nihil subtraxerim utilium, quominus annunciarem vobis, et docerem vos publice, et per domos,

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 testificans Iudæis, atque Gentilibus in Deum pœnitentiam, et fidem in Dominum nostrum Iesum Christum.

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

22 Et nunc ecce alligatus ego spiritu, vado in Ierusalem: quæ in ea ventura sint mihi, ignorans:

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

23 nisi quod Spiritus Sanctus per omnes civitates mihi protestatur, dicens: quoniam vincula, et tribulationes Ierosolymis me manent.

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

24 Sed nihil horum vereor: nec facio animam meam pretiosiorem quam me, dum modo consummem cursum meum, et ministerium verbi, quod accepi a Domino Iesu, testificari Evangelium gratiæ Dei.

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 Et nunc ecce ego scio quia amplius non videbitis faciem meam vos omnes, per quos transivi prædicans regnum Dei.

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 Quapropter contestor vos hodierna die, quia mundus sum a sanguine omnium.

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

27 Non enim subterfugi, quominus annunciarem omne consilium Dei vobis.

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

28 Attendite vobis, et universo gregi, in quo vos Spiritus Sanctus posuit Episcopos regere Ecclesiam Dei, quam acquisivit sanguine suo.

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 Ego scio quoniam intrabunt post discessionem meam lupi rapaces in vos, non parcentes gregi.

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

30 Et ex vobis ipsis exurgent viri loquentes perversa, ut abducant discipulos post se.

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

31 Propter quod vigilate memoria retinentes: quoniam per triennium nocte et die non cessavi, cum lacrymis monens unumquemque vestrum.

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 Et nunc commendo vos Deo, et verbo gratiæ ipsius, qui potens est ædificare, et dare hereditatem in sanctificatis omnibus.

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 Argentum, et aurum, aut vestem nullius concupivi,

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

34 sicut ipsi scitis: quoniam ad ea, quæ mihi opus erant, et his, qui mecum sunt, ministraverunt manus istæ.

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

35 Omnia ostendi vobis, quoniam sic laborantes, oportet suscipere infirmos, ac meminisse verbi Domini Iesu, quoniam ipse dixit: Beatius est magis dare, quam accipere.

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 Et cum hæc dixisset, positis genibus suis oravit cum omnibus illis.

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

37 Magnus autem fletus factus est omnium: et procumbentes super collum Pauli, osculabantur eum,

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 dolentes maxime in verbo, quod dixerat, quoniam amplius faciem eius non essent visuri. Et deducebant eum ad navem.

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