3 Después de tres meses cuando iba a embarcarse para Siria, los judíos tramaron un complot contra él. Así que decidió regresar por Macedonia.

Where, when he had spent three months, the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria; so he took a resolution to return through Macedonia.

For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, lest he should be stayed any time in Asia. For he hasted, if it were possible for him, to keep the day of Pentecost at Jerusalem.

17 [Pablo] envió [un mensaje] a Éfeso desde Mileto para llamar a los ancianos de la iglesia.

And sending from Miletus to Ephesus, he called the ancients of the church.

19 Serví al Señor con toda humildad, lágrimas y pruebas que me llegaron por las maquinaciones de los judíos.

Serving the Lord with all humility, and with tears, and temptations which befell me by the conspiracies of the Jews;

20 No me negué a predicarles las cosas provechosas y enseñarles públicamente y de casa en casa.

How I have kept back nothing that was profitable to you, but have preached it to you, and taught you publicly, and from house to house,

21 Testifiqué solemnemente a judíos y a griegos sobre el cambio de mente hacia Dios, y la fe en nuestro Señor Jesús.

Testifying both to Jews and Gentiles penance towards God, and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.

22 Ahora miren, voy a Jerusalén atado en el espíritu, sin saber lo que me sucederá allá.

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

23 En cada ciudad el Espíritu Santo me da a entender solemnemente que me esperan cadenas y aflicciones.

Save that the Holy Ghost in every city witnesseth to me, saying: That bands and afflictions wait for me at Jerusalem.

24 Pero por ningún motivo considero mi vida valiosa, con tal que termine mi carrera y el ministerio que recibí del Señor Jesús para proclamar solemnemente las Buenas Noticias de la gracia de Dios.

But I fear none of these things, neither do I count my life more precious than myself, so that I may consummate my course and the ministry of the word which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

25 Ahora escuchen: Yo sé que ninguno de ustedes entre quienes estuve para predicar el reino, volverá a ver mi rostro.

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

26 Por tanto, hoy les declaro que estoy limpio de la sangre de todos,

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

27 porque no me refrené en anunciarles todo el consejo de Dios.

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

28 Tengan cuidado de ustedes mismos y de todo el rebaño en el cual el Espíritu Santo los puso como supervisores para apacentar la iglesia de Dios, la cual adquirió por medio de su propia sangre.

Take heed to yourselves, and to the whole flock, wherein the Holy Ghost hath placed you bishops, to rule the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

29 Yo sé que después de mi partida se levantarán entre ustedes lobos feroces que no perdonan al rebaño.

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

30 De entre ustedes mismos se levantarán hombres que hablarán cosas depravadas para arrastrar a los discípulos tras ellos.

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

31 Por tanto, velen. Recuerden que noche y día durante tres años, no me cansé de amonestar con lágrimas a cada uno.

Therefore watch, keeping in memory, that for three years I ceased not, with tears to admonish every one of you night and day.

32 Ahora, los encomiendo a Dios y a la Palabra de su gracia, la cual puede edificar y dar la herencia a todos los santificados.

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

33 De nadie codicié plata, ni oro, ni ropa.

I have not coveted any man’s silver, gold, or apparel, as

34 Ustedes saben que estas manos sirvieron para mis necesidades y para los que estaban conmigo.

You yourselves know: for such things as were needful for me and them that are with me, these hands have furnished.

35 En todo les demostré que al trabajar de este modo es necesario socorrer a los débiles, y recordar las Palabras del Señor Jesús, pues Él mismo dijo: Más inmensamente feliz es el que da que el que recibe.

I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring you ought to support the weak, and to remember the word of the Lord Jesus, how he said: It is a more blessed thing to give, rather than to receive.

36 Cuando terminó de hablar esto, se arrodilló y habló con Dios en compañía de ellos.

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

37 Entonces brotó un gran llanto de todos. Abrazaron a Pablo y lo besaban.

And there was much weeping among them all; and falling on the neck of Paul, they kissed him,

38 Estaban muy tristes por la palabra que les dijo: que ya no volverían a ver su rostro. Y lo acompañaron hasta el barco.

Being grieved most of all for the word which he had said, that they should see his face no more. And they brought him on his way to the ship.
