Acts 20

CHAPTER 20 Paul's Journey in Greece

1 And after [³ceased ¹the ²tumult], [²having called ¹Paul] the disciples, and saluting, went forth to go into Macedonia. 2 And having gone through those parts, and comforting them [²communication ¹by much], he came unto Greece. 3 And having spent [²months ¹three], [²having been made ³against him ¹with a plot] by the Jews, being about to embark unto Syria, he became of the opinion to return through Macedonia. 4 And there accompanied him as far as Asia Sopator a Berean; and of Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundos, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus. 5 These having gone forward waited for us in Troas. 6 And we sailed across, after the days of the unleavened breads, from Philippi, and came to them in Troas unto [²days ¹five]; where we spent [²days ¹seven]. 7 And on day one of the Sabbaths, [³having been gathered ¹the ²disciples] to break bread, Paul reasoned with them, being about to exit the next day; and he extended the word until midnight. 8 And there were [²of lamps ¹a fit amount] in the upper room where we gathered together.

Eutychus Raised from the Dead

9 And there was sitting down a certain young one, by name Eutychus, by the window, being sunk [²sleep ¹in a deep]. And with Paul reasoning for a long time, having sunken from the sleep, he fell from the third level to below, and was lifted up dead. 10 And having descended, Paul fell upon him, and having wrapped around him, said, Do not make a disruption, for his life [²in ³him ¹is]. 11 And having ascended, and having broken bread, and having tasted, and for a fit time consorting until daylight, thus he went forth. 12 And they brought the child alive, and were comforted not moderately. 13 And we having gone forth unto the boat, embarked unto Assos, from there being about to take up Paul; for so it was having been set in order, himself being about to go on foot. 14 And when he united with us at Assos, having taken him in, we came unto Mitylene. 15 And from there we sailed away, and on the following day we arrived towards Chios; and another day we set aside unto Samos, and abided in Trogyllium; and the next day we came to Miletus, 16 [³decided ¹for ²Paul] to sail by Ephesus, so that it should not happen for him to spend time in Asia; for he hastened, if it was possible for him, [⁴on the ⁵day ⁶of Pentecost ¹to be ²in ³Jerusalem].

Paul's Farewell Address

17 And from Miletus, having sent to Ephesus, he called for the elders of the assembly. 18 And when they were come to him, he said to them, You know, from the first day of which I set foot in Asia, how [²with ³you ⁴all the ⁵time ¹I was], 19 serving to the Lord with all humility, and many tears, and tests, of the ones coming to pass to me in the plots of the Jews; 20 how [²nothing ¹I kept back] of the things advantageous unto you, so as to not announce it to you and to teach you in public, and by houses, 21 testifying both to Jews, and Greeks the thing for God -- repentance and belief, the one in our Lord Jesus Christ. 22 And now behold, I being bound in the spirit go unto Jerusalem, [³the things ⁴in ⁵it ⁶meeting up with ⁷me ¹not ²knowing]; 23 except that the [²spirit ¹holy] in every city testifies, saying that bonds [⁴me ¹and ²afflictions ³await]. 24 But [³of nothing ²account ¹I make], nor do I hold my life esteemed to myself, as to finish my race with joy, and the service which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the good news of the favor of God. 25 And now, behold, I know that no longer shall [³see ⁴my face ¹you ²all], among whom I went about proclaiming the kingdom of God. 26 Therefore I testify to you in today's day, that I am clean from the blood of all; 27 [³did not ¹for ²I] keep back to announce to you all the counsel of God. 28 Take heed then to yourselves, and to all the flock! in which [⁵you ¹the ³spirit ²holy ⁴placed] as overseers, to tend the assembly of God, which he procured through his own blood. 29 For I know this, that [³shall enter ⁴after ⁵my departure ²wolves ¹grievous] unto you, not sparing the flock. 30 And from out of your own selves shall rise up men speaking things being perverted, to draw away the disciples after them. 31 Therefore be vigilant! remembering that for a space of three years, night and day, I ceased not with tears, admonishing [²one ¹each]. 32 And at present I point you out, brethren, to God and to the word of his favor, to the thing being able to build up, and to give to you an inheritance among [²the ones ³having been sanctified ¹all]. 33 [³silver ⁴or ⁵gold ⁶or ⁷clothes ²of no one ¹I desired]. 34 You know yourselves, that my needs, and the ones being with me, [³assisted ²hands ¹these]. 35 All things I plainly showed to you, that so tiring it is necessary to assist the ones being weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he said, [³blessed ¹It is ⁴to give ²more] than to receive. 36 And these things having said, having set his knees with them all, he prayed. 37 [³a fit amount ¹And ²there became] of weeping by all; and falling upon the neck of Paul they kissed him, 38 being grieved especially over the word which he had said, that no longer are they about [²his face ¹to view]. And they sent him unto the boat.
