1And
after the
uproar was
ceased, Paul
called unto him the
disciples,
and
embraced them,
and departed
for to go
into
Macedonia.
2And
when he had
gone over
those parts,
and had
given them
much
exhortation,
he came into
Greece,
3And 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.
4And
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.
5These
going before
tarried for
us at Troas.
6And
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.
7And
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.
8And
there were
many lights
in the upper
chamber,
where they
were
gathered
together.
9And
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.
10And
Paul went
down, and
fell on him,
and
embracing him said,
Trouble not
yourselves;
for his life
is in him.
11When
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.
12And
they brought
the young
man alive,
and were not
a little
comforted.
13And
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.
14And
when he met
with us at
Assos, we
took him in,
and came to
Mitylene.
15And
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.
16For
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.
17And
from Miletus
he sent to
Ephesus, and
called the
elders of
the church.
18And
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,
19Serving
the Lord
with all
humility of
mind, and
with many
tears, and
temptations,
which befell
me by the
lying in
wait of the
Jews:
20And how
I kept back
nothing that
was
profitable unto
you,
but have
shewed you,
and have
taught you
publickly,
and from
house to
house,
21Testifying
both to the
Jews, and
also to the
Greeks,
repentance
toward God,
and faith
toward our
Lord Jesus
Christ.
22And
now, behold,
I go bound
in the
spirit unto
Jerusalem,
not knowing
the things
that shall
befall me
there:
23Save
that the
Holy Ghost
witnesseth
in every
city, saying
that bonds
and
afflictions
abide me.
24But
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.
25And
now, behold,
I know that
ye all,
among whom I
have gone
preaching
the kingdom
of God,
shall see my
face no
more.
26Wherefore
I take you
to record
this day,
that I am pure
from the
blood of
all men.
27For
I have not
shunned to
declare unto
you all the
counsel of
God.
28Take
heed
therefore
unto
yourselves,
and to all
the flock,
over the
which the
Holy Ghost
hath made
you
overseers,
to feed the
church of
God, which
he hath
purchased
with his own
blood.
29For
I know this,
that after
my departing
shall
grievous
wolves enter
in among
you, not
sparing the
flock.
30Also
of your own
selves shall
men arise,
speaking
perverse
things, to
draw away
disciples
after them.
31Therefore
watch, and
remember,
that by the
space of
three years
I ceased not
to warn
every one
night and
day with
tears.
32And
now,
brethren, I
commend you
to God, and
to the word
of his
grace, which
is able to
build you
up, and to
give you an
inheritance
among all
them which
are
sanctified.
33I
have coveted
no man's
silver, or
gold, or
apparel.
34Yea,
ye
yourselves
know, that
these hands
have
ministered
unto my
necessities,
and to them
that were
with me.
35I
have shewed
you all
things, how
that so
labouring ye
ought to
support the
weak, and to
remember the
words of the
Lord Jesus,
how he
said, It
is more
blessed to
give than to
receive.
36And
when he had
thus spoken,
he kneeled
down, and
prayed with
them all.
37And
they all
wept sore,
and fell on
Paul's neck,
and kissed
him,
38Sorrowing
most of all
for the
words which
he spake,
that they
should see
his face no
more. And
they
accompanied
him unto the
ship.
