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

2 When he had gone through those parts and had encouraged them with many words, 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 there accompanied him as far as Asia, Sopater a Berean, and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus, and Gaius a Derbean, and Timothy, and the Asians, Tychicus and Trophimus.

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

These men, who went ahead, awaited 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.

8 There were many lights in the upper room where we were gathered together.

And there were considerable lights in the upper floor where we were gathered together.

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 a certain young man named Eutychus sitting in the window, being carried away by deep sleep (Paul discoursing on more), being carried away by sleep, he fell down below from the third floor, and was taken up dead.

But Paul having come down, he fell on him, and having embraced him he said, Be not troubled, 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.

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

And when he met with us at Assos, having taken him up, we 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 having sailed from there on the next day, we arrived opposite Chios, and the next day we came near to Samos. And having remained in Trogyllium, on the following day we came 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 determined to sail past Ephesus, so that he might not happen to lose time in Asia. For he was hastening, if it were possible, for him to become at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.

And from Miletus having sent to Ephesus, he summoned the elders of the congregation.

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 came to him, he said to them, Ye know, from the first day in which I stepped in Asia, how I became with you all the 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 many tears and trials that befell me by the conspiracies of the Jews.

20 how I did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, teaching you publicly and from house to house,

How I kept back nothing of these things that are beneficial, not to inform you, and to teach you in public, and from house to house,

21 testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God and faith toward 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, bound in the spirit, am going to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that will happen to me in it,

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

except that the Holy Spirit testifies from city to city, saying that bonds and afflictions await me.

24 But these things do not 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 make nothing of the matter, nor do I hold my life precious to myself, so as to fully complete my course with joy, and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to solemnly testify the good news 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,

Therefore I solemnly declare to you this day, that I am clean from the blood of all men.

27 for I did not shrink from declaring 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, among which the Holy Spirit placed you guardians, to tend the church of the Lord and God, which he purchased by 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.

And from you yourselves men will rise up, speaking distorted things, to draw away the disciples after them.

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

Therefore watch ye, remembering that for three years, night and day, I did not cease warning each 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 brothers, I commit you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build up, and to give you an inheritance among all those who have been sanctified.

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

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

Ye yourselves know that these hands served my needs, and to those who 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.’”

I gave you a glimpse of all things, that so laboring ye ought to aid 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 spoken these things, having knelt down, he prayed with them all.

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

And there developed considerable weeping of all. And having fallen on Paul's neck, they kissed him much,

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.
