AFTER the uproar has ceased, Paul called the disciples to himself, embrace them, and departed to go to Macedonia.

2 Now when he had gone over that region and encouraged them with many words, he came to Greece.

3 He stayed three months. And when the Jews plotted against him as he was about to sail to Syria , he decided to return through Macedonia.

4 And stayed of Berea accompanied him to Asia - also Aristarchus and Secundus to the Thessalonians, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothey, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia.

5 These men, going ahead, waited for us at Troas.

6 But we sailed away from Philippi after the Days of Unleavened Bread, and in five Days joined them at Troas, where we stayed seven days.

7 Now on the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul, ready to depart the next day, spoke to them and continued his message to them and continued until midnight.

8 There were many lamps in the uppe room wher they were gathered together.

9 And in a window sat a certain young man named Eutychus, who was sinking into a deep sleep. he was overcome by sleep; ans as Paul continued speaking, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead.

10 But Paul went down, fell on him, and embracing him said, "Do not trouble yourselves, for his life is in him.

11 Now when he had come up, had broken bread and eaten, and talked a long while till daybreak , he departed.

12  And they brought the young man in aliv, and they were not a little comferred

13 Then  we went ahead to the ship and sailed to Assos, ther intending to take Paul on board; for so he had given orders, intending to go on foot.

14 And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and came to Mitylene.

15 We sailed from there, and the next day came opposite Chios. The folowing day we arrived at Samos and stayed at Trogyllius. The next day we came to Miletus.

16 For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus, so that he would not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hurrying to be at Jerusalem, if possible, on the Day of Pentecost.

17 From Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called for the elders of the church.

18 And when they had come to him, he said to them: "You know, from the first day day that I came to Asia, in what manner I alws lived among you,

19 "Serving the Lord with all humility, with many tears and trails which happened to me by the plotting of the Jews;

20 "How I kept back nothing that was helpful, but proclaimed it to you, and taught you publicly and from house to house.

21"Testifying to Jews, and also God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

22 "And see, now I go bound in the spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that will happen to me there,

23 "Except that the Holy spirit testifies in every city, saying that chains and tribulation await me.

24 "But none of these things move me; nor so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from  the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.

25 "And indeed, noe I know that you all, among whom I have gone preaching to the kingdom of God, will see my face no more.

26 "Therfore I testify to you this day that I an innocent of the blood of all men

 27  "For I have not shunned to declare to you the whole counsel of God.

28 "Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd that the church of God which purchased with His own blood.

29 "For I know this, that after my departure  savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock.

30 "Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciple after themselvs.

31 "Therefore watch, and remember that for three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears. 

32 "So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you and inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

33 "I have covet no one's silver or gold or apparel.

34 "Yes, you yourselves know that these hands have provided for my neccessities, and for those who were with me.

35 "I have shown you in every way, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said," It is more blessed to give than to recieve.

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

37 Then they all wept freely, and fell on Paul's neck and kissed him.

38 Sorrowing most of all for the words which  he spoke, that they would see his face no more. And they accopmpanied him to the ship. ACTS 20
