CHAPTER 20
And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto
him
the disciples, and embraced
them,
and departed
for to go into Macedonia.
2
And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much
exhortation, he came into Greece,
3
And
there
abode 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
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 going before
tarried for us at Troas.
6
And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and
came unto them to Troas in five days; where we abode seven days.
7
And upon the first
day
of the
week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart
on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.
8
And there were many lights in the upper
chamber, where they were gathered together.
9
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 went down, and
fell on him, and embracing
him
said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.
11
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 the young man alive, and were not a little
comforted.
13
And we went before to ship, and sailed unto 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, we took him in,
and came to Mitylene.
15
And we sailed thence, 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 had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he
hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.
17
And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church.
18
And when they
were come to him, he said unto them, Ye 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 of mind, and with
many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:
20
And
how I kept
back nothing that was profitable
unto you,
but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly,
and from house to house,
21
Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward
God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
22
And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto
Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:
23
Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth
in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.
24
But none of these things move me,
neither count I my life dear unto 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,
behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my
face no more.
26
Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I
am
pure from the blood of all
men.
27
For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
