Acts 20

1 But after the tumult had ceased, Paul having called the disciples to [him] and embraced [them], went away to go to Macedonia.

And aftir the noise ceesside, Poul clepide the disciplis, and monestide hem, and seide fare wel; and he wente forth, to go in to Macedonye.

2 And having passed through those parts, and having exhorted them with much discourse, he came to Greece.

And whanne he hadde walkid bi tho coostis, and hadde monestid hem bi many wordis, he cam to Greece.

3 And having spent three months [there], a treacherous plot against him having been set on foot by the Jews, as he was going to sail to Syria, [the] resolution was adopted of returning through Macedonia.

Where whanne he hadde be thre monethis, the Jewis leiden aspies for hym, that was to saile in to Sirie; and he hadde counsel to turne ayen bi Macedonye.

4 And there accompanied him as far as Asia, Sopater [son] of Pyrrhus, a Berean; and of Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus, and Gaius and Timotheus of Derbe, and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.

And Sosipater of Pirri Boroense folowide hym; of Thessolonycenses, Astirak, and Secoundus, and Gayus Derbeus, and Tymothe; and Asians, Titicus and Trofimus.

5 These going before waited for us in Troas;

These for thei wenten bifore, aboden vs at Troade.

6 but we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and we came to them to Troas in five days, where we spent seven days.

For we schippiden aftir the daies of therf looues fro Filippis, and cam to hem at Troade in fyue daies, where we dwelten seuene daies.

7 And the first day of the week, we being assembled to break bread, Paul discoursed to them, about to depart on the morrow. And he prolonged the discourse till midnight.

And in the first dai of the woke, whanne we camen to breke breed, Poul disputide with hem, and schulde go forth in the morew;

8 And there were many lights in the upper room where we were assembled.

and he drow along the sermoun til in to mydnyyt. And many laumpes weren in the soler, where we weren gaderyd togidir.

9 And a certain youth, by name Eutychus, sitting at the window-opening, overpowered by deep sleep, while Paul discoursed very much at length, having been overpowered by the sleep, fell from the third story down to the bottom, and was taken up dead.

And a yong man, Euticus bi name, sat on the wyndowe, whanne he was fallun in to an heuy sleep, while Poul disputide long, al slepynge he felle doun fro the thridde stage; and he was takun vp, and was brouyt deed.

10 But Paul descending fell upon him, and enfolding [him] [in his arms], said, Be not troubled, for his life is in him.

To whom whanne Poul cam doun, he lay on hym, and biclippide, and seide, Nyle ye be troblid; for his soule is in hym.

11 And having gone up, and having broken the bread, and eaten, and having long spoken until daybreak, so he went away.

And he wente vp, and brak breed, and eete, and spak ynowy vnto the dai; and so he wente forth.

12 And they brought [away] the boy alive, and were no little comforted.

And thei brouyten the childe alyue, and thei weren coumfortid greetli.

13 And we, having gone before on board ship, sailed off to Assos, going to take in Paul there; for so he had directed, he himself being about to go on foot.

And we wenten vp in to a schip, and schippiden in to Asson, to take Poul fro thennus; for so he hadde disposid to make iourney bi loond.

14 And when he met with us at Assos, having taken him on board, we came to Mitylene;

And whanne he foond vs in Asson, we token hym, and camen to Mitilene.

15 and having sailed thence, on the morrow arrived opposite Chios, and the next day put in at Samos; and having stayed at Trogyllium, the next day we came to Miletus:

And fro thennus we schippiden in the dai suynge, and we camen ayens Chyum, and another dai we hauenyden at Samum, and in the dai suynge we camen to Mylete.

16 for Paul thought it desirable to sail by Ephesus, so that he might not be made to spend time in Asia; for he hastened, if it was possible for him, to be the day of Pentecost at Jerusalem.

And Poul purposide to schip ouer to Efesi, lest ony tariyng were maad to hym in Asie; for he hiyede, if it were possible to hym, that he schulde be in the dai of Pentecost at Jerusalem.

17 But from Miletus having sent to Ephesus, he called over [to him] the elders of the assembly.

Fro Mylete he sente to Effesi, and clepide the grettest men of birthe of the chirche.

18 And when they were come to him, he said to them, Ye know how I was with you all the time from the first day that I arrived in Asia,

And whanne thei camen to hym, and weren togidir, he seide to hem, Ye witen fro the firste dai, in which Y cam in to Asie, hou with you bi eche tyme Y was,

19 serving the Lord with all lowliness, and tears, and temptations, which happened to me through the plots of the Jews;

seruynge to the Lord with al mekenesse, and mildnesse, and teeris, and temptaciouns, that felden to me of aspiyngis of Jewis;

20 how I held back nothing of what is profitable, so as not to announce [it] to you, and to teach you publicly and in every house,

hou Y withdrowe not of profitable thingis to you, that Y telde not to you, and tauyte you opynli, and bi housis;

21 testifying to both Jews and Greeks repentance towards God, and faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ.

and Y witnesside to Jewis and to hethene men penaunce in to God, and feith in to oure Lord Jhesu Crist.

22 And now, behold, bound in my spirit I go to Jerusalem, not knowing what things shall happen to me in it;

And now lo! Y am boundun in spirit, and go in to Jerusalem; and Y knowe not what thingis schulen come to me in it,

23 only that the Holy Spirit testifies to me in every city, saying that bonds and tribulations await me.

but that the Hooli Goost `bi alle citees witnessith to me, and seith, that boondis and tribulaciouns at Jerusalem abiden me.

24 But I make no account of [my] life [as] dear to myself, so that I finish my course, and the ministry which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the glad tidings of the grace of God.

But Y drede no thing of these, nether Y make my lijf preciousere than my silf, so that Y end my cours, and the mynysterie of the word, which Y resseyuede of the Lord Jhesu, to witnesse the gospel of the grace of God.

25 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone about preaching the kingdom [of God], shall see my face no more.

And `now lo! Y woot, that ye schulen no more se my face, alle ye bi whiche Y passide, prechynge the kingdom of God.

26 Wherefore I witness to you this day, that I am clean from the blood of all,

Wherfor Y witnesse to you this day, that Y am cleen of the blood of alle men.

27 for I have not shrunk from announcing to you all the counsel of God.

For Y fley not awey, that Y telde not to you al the counsel of God.

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

Take ye tente to you, and to al the flocke, in which the Hooli Goost hath set you bischops, to reule the chirche of God, which he purchaside with his blood.

29 [For] I know [this, ] that there will come in amongst you after my departure grievous wolves, not sparing the flock;

Y woot, that aftir my departyng, rauyschinge wolues schulen entre in to you, `and spare not the flok;

30 and from among your own selves shall rise up men speaking perverted things to draw away the disciples after them.

and men spekinge schrewid thingis schulen rise of you silf, that thei leden awei disciplis aftir hem.

31 Wherefore watch, remembering that for three years, night and day, I ceased not admonishing each one [of you] with tears.

For which thing wake ye, holdinge in mynde that bi thre yeer nyyt and dai Y ceesside not with teeris monestinge ech of you.

32 And now I commit you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build [you] up and give [to you] an inheritance among all the sanctified.

And now Y bitake you to God and to the word of his grace, that is myyti to edifie and yyue eritage in alle that ben maad hooli.

33 I have coveted [the] silver or gold or clothing of no one.

And of no man Y coueitide siluer, and gold, ether cloth, as you silf witen;

34 Yourselves know that these hands have ministered to my wants, and to those who were with me.

for to tho thingis that weren nedeful to me, and to these that ben with me, these hoondis mynystriden.

35 I have shewed you all things, that thus labouring [we] ought to come in aid of the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

Alle these thingis Y schewide to you, for so it bihoueth men trauelinge to resseyue sike men, and to haue mynde of the `word of the Lord Jhesu; for he seide, It is more blesful to yyue, than to resseyue.

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

And whanne he hadde seid these thingis, he knelide, and he preiede with alle hem.

37 And they all wept sore; and falling upon the neck of Paul they ardently kissed him,

And greet weping of alle men was maad; and thei felden on the necke of Poul, and kissiden hym,

38 specially pained by the word which he had said, that they would no more see his face. And they went down with him to the ship.

and sorewiden moost in the word that he seide, for thei schulen no more se his face. And thei ledden hym to the schip.
