1 After the uproar had ceased, Paul sent for the disciples, took leave of them, and departed to go into Macedonia.

And after the tumult had ceased, Paul called to him the disciples, and having embraced them departed to go into Macedonia.

2 When he had gone through those parts and had encouraged them with many words, he came into Greece.

And when he had gone through those regions, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece.

3 When he had spent three months there, and a plot was made against him by Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he determined to return through Macedonia.

And when he had stayed three months, a plot having been laid for him by the Jews as he was about to sail for Syria, he resolved to return through Macedonia.

4 These accompanied him as far as Asia: Sopater of Beroea, Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, Gaius of Derbe, Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia.

And there accompanied him as far as Asia, Sopater, son of Pyrrhus, a Beroean; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.

5 But these had gone ahead, and were waiting for us at Troas.

6 We sailed away from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and came to them at Troas in five days, where we stayed seven days.

9 A certain young man named Eutychus sat in the window, weighed down with deep sleep. As Paul spoke still longer, being weighed down by his sleep, he fell down from the third floor and was taken up dead.

And there sat on the window a certain young man named Eutychus, having fallen into a deep sleep; and as Paul was discoursing at great length, he sank down with sleep, and fell from thee third story, and was taken up dead.

10 Paul went down and fell upon him, and embracing him said, “Don’t be troubled, for his life is in him.”

But Paul went down and fell on him, and having embraced him, said, Make no lamentations; for his life is in him.

11 When he had gone up, had broken bread and eaten, and had talked with them a long while, even until break of day, he departed.

And having gone up again, and broken the bread and eaten, he talked a long while even till break of day, and so departed.

12 They brought the boy in alive, and were greatly comforted.

And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.

13 But we, going ahead to the ship, set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul aboard there; for he had so arranged, intending himself to go by land.

We however, going forward to the ship, put to sea for Assos, intending to take in Paul from that place; for so he had appointed, intending himself to go on foot.

14 When he met us at Assos, we took him aboard and came to Mitylene.

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

15 Sailing from there, we came the following day opposite Chios. The next day we touched at Samos and stayed at Trogyllium, and the day after we came to Miletus.

and sailing thence, we came the following day over against Chios. And the next day we arrived at Samos; and having tarried at Trogyllium, we came the next day to Miletus.

16 For Paul had determined to sail past Ephesus, that he might not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hastening, if it were possible for him, to be in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.

For Paul had determined to sail past Ephesus, that he might not be detained in Asia; for he was hastening, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.

17 From Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called to himself the elders of the assembly.

18 When they had come to him, he said to them, “You yourselves know, from the first day that I set foot in Asia, how I was with you all the time,

And when they had come to him, he said to them: Ye yourselves know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you the whole time,

19 serving the Lord with all humility, with many tears, and with trials which happened to me by the plots of the Jews;

serving the Lord with all humility, and with tears, and trials which befell me by the plots of the Jews;

20 how I didn’t shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, teaching you publicly and from house to house,

how I kept back nothing that was profitable, but have made it known to you, and have taught you publicly, and from house to house;

21 testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus.

testifying to both Jews and Greeks repentance toward God, and faith in our Lord Jesus.

22 Now, behold, I go bound by the Spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there;

And now behold, I go, bound in my spirit, to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that will befall me there;

23 except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions wait for me.

save that the Holy Spirit witnesseth to me in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions await me.

24 But these things don’t count; nor do I hold my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to fully testify to the Good News of the grace of God.

But I count life of no value to me, so that I may finish my course, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the glad tidings of the grace of God.

25 “Now, behold, I know that you all, among whom I went about preaching God’s Kingdom, will see my face no more.

26 Therefore I testify to you today that I am clean from the blood of all men,

Wherefore I testify to you this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men;

27 for I didn’t shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.

for I have not shunned to declare to you the whole counsel of God.

28 Take heed, therefore, to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the assembly of the Lord and God which he purchased with his own blood.

Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock over which the Holy Spirit made you overseers, to feed the church of the Lord, which he purchased with his own blood.

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

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

30 Men will arise from among your own selves, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.

31 Therefore watch, remembering that for a period of three years I didn’t cease to admonish everyone night and day with tears.

Therefore be watchful, and remember that for the space of three years, night and day, I ceased not to warn every one with tears.

32 Now, brothers, I entrust you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

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

33 I coveted no one’s silver, gold, or clothing.

I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.

34 You yourselves know that these hands served my necessities, and those who were with me.

Ye yourselves know, that these hands ministered to my necessities, and to those that were with me.

35 In all things I gave you an example, that so laboring you ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

In all ways I showed you that so laboring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

36 When he had spoken these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all.

And having thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all.

37 They all wept freely, and fell on Paul’s neck and kissed him,

And they all wept sorely, and fell on Paul's neck, and kissed him;

38 sorrowing most of all because of the word which he had spoken, that they should see his face no more. Then they accompanied him to the ship.

sorrowing most of all for the word which he had spoken, that they were to see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.
