< Acts 20 >

1 Once the uproar had died down, Paul called the believers together and encouraged them. Then he said goodbye, and left for Macedonia.
ⲁ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲧⲣⲉⲡⲉϣⲧⲟⲣⲧⲣ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲗⲟ ⲁⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲁϥⲥⲉⲡⲥⲱⲡⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲁⲥⲡⲁⲍⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ. ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲧⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ.
2 He passed through the area, sharing many words of encouragement with the believers there, and then traveled on to Greece.

3 After he had spent three months there and just as he was about to sail to Syria, it was discovered that the Jews were plotting against him. So he decided to return through Macedonia.

4 These were the people who traveled with him: Sopater of Berea, the son of Pyrrhus; Aristarchus and Secundus from Thessalonica; Gaius from Derbe; Timothy; Tychicus and Trophimus from the province of Asia.

5 They went on ahead and waited for us at Troas.

6 After the Feast of Unleavened Bread we sailed from Philippi, and met them five days later in Troas, where we spent a week.

7 Paul was speaking on the first day of the week as we gathered together to break bread. He was planning to leave in the morning, and went on speaking until midnight.

9 A young man called Eutychus was sitting in the window, and he began feeling very sleepy. As Paul went on speaking he fell sound asleep and tumbled down from the third story. When they picked him up they found he was dead.
ⲑ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲣ̅ϣⲓⲣⲉ ϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ϩⲓϫⲙ̅ⲡϣⲟⲩϣⲧ̅ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲩⲧⲩⲭⲟⲥ. ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ϩⲓⲛⲏⲃ ⲥⲱⲕ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ. ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϣⲁϫⲉ ⲁⲡϩⲓⲛⲏⲃ ϩⲣⲟϣ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϫⲱϥ ⲉⲡⲉϩⲟⲩⲟ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥϩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓϫⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉϩϣⲟⲙⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϥⲓⲧϥ̅ ⲉϥⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ.
10 Paul went down, stretched himself out upon him, and hugged him. “Don't worry, he's alive,” he said.
ⲓ̅ⲁⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲓ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⲁϥⲡⲁϩⲧϥ̅ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϫⲱϥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϩⲱⲗϭ̅ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ϣⲧⲟⲣⲧⲣ̅ ⲧⲉϥⲯⲩⲭⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅.
11 Paul went back upstairs, broke bread, and ate together with them. He went on talking with them until dawn came, and then he left.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲁϥⲡⲱϣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲉⲓⲕ ⲁϥϫⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲱⲥⲕ̅ ⲉϥϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ϣⲁⲛⲧⲉⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ϩⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓ̈ϩⲉ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
12 They took the young man home alive and well, and were very thankful for this.

13 We went on ahead to the ship and sailed to Assos. There we were due to pick up Paul, since that was what he had planned as he decided to travel on foot.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛⲣ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲡϫⲟⲓ̈. ⲁⲛⲥϭⲏⲣ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲑⲁⲣⲥⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲁⲗⲉⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ. ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥⲧⲟϣⲥ̅ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲛ. ⲉϥⲛⲁⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲛ̅ⲣⲁⲧϥ̅.
14 He did indeed meet us at Assos. We picked him up, and went on to Mitylene.

15 Sailing on from there we arrived off Kios, and the next day we stopped briefly at Samos, and the following day we arrived at Miletus.

16 Paul had planned to sail on past Ephesus so he wouldn't have to spend time in the province of Asia. He was keen to get to Jerusalem in time for the Day of Pentecost.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲛⲉⲁⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲛⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲫⲉⲥⲟⲥ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥⲱⲥⲕ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲥⲓⲁ. ⲛⲉϥϭⲉⲡⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉϥⲛⲁϣϭⲙ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲣ̅ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲉⲛⲧⲏⲕⲟⲥⲧⲏ ϩⲛ̅ⲑⲓ̅ⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ.
17 From Miletus Paul sent a message to the elders of the church in Ephesus.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲇⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲙⲓⲗⲏⲧⲟⲥ ⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲉⲫⲉⲥⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ.
18 When they arrived, he told them, “You know how I always behaved while I was with you from the first day I arrived in the province of Asia.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ϫⲉ ϫⲓⲛⲡϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲉϩⲣⲁⲧ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲥⲓⲁ. ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲣ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲏⲧⲛ̅.
19 I served the Lord in humility and in tears. I put up with the troubles and stress caused by the plots of the Jews.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲉⲓ̈ⲟ ⲛ̅ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϩⲛ̅ⲑⲃ̅ⲃⲓⲟ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲣⲙ̅ⲉⲓⲟⲟⲩⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲣⲁⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲓ̈ ϩⲛ̅(ⲛ)ⲉⲡⲓⲃⲟⲩⲗⲏ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈.
20 However, I never held back from sharing with you anything that would be to your benefit, and I taught you in public, going from house to house.
ⲕ̅ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓϩⲉⲡⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲣ̅ⲛⲟϥⲣⲉ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲧⲁⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ϯⲥⲃⲱ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲧⲩⲙⲟⲥⲓⲁ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲏⲓ̈.
21 I witnessed both to Jews and Greeks that it was essential to repent and turn to God, and to trust in our Lord Jesus Christ.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲉⲓ̈ⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲗⲗⲏⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉⲧⲁⲛⲟⲓⲁ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅.
22 Now the Spirit is insisting that I go to Jerusalem, and I have no idea what will happen to me there.

23 All I know is that in every city I visit the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and suffering are waiting for me.

24 But I don't consider my life as worth anything to me. I only want to finish my mission and the ministry that the Lord Jesus gave to me, to witness to the good news of the grace of God.
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ϯⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲟ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲯⲩⲭⲏ ϩⲁⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲇⲣⲟⲙⲟⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ϫⲓⲧⲥ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲧⲣⲁⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲉⲓⲉⲛⲓⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
25 Now I am certain that you will not see my face again, you among whom I shared the news of the kingdom.

27 I didn't hesitate to tell you everything God wants you to know.

28 Take care of yourselves and of all the flock, which the Holy Spirit has given to you to supervise. Feed the Lord's church which he bought with his own blood.

29 I know that after I leave vicious wolves will come among you, and won't spare the flock.

30 From among your own group men will rise up perverting what is right and good so they can lead believers to follow them.

31 So watch out! Don't forget that for three years I went on instructing all of you night and day, often crying over you.

32 Now I commit you in God's care and to the message of his grace, which is able to build you up and provide you with the inheritance that belongs to all who are kept right with him.

33 I never had any desire for anyone's silver or gold or clothing.

35 I have given you an example in everything: work to help those who are weak, remembering the words of the Lord Jesus: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

36 When he finished speaking, he kneeled down and prayed with all of them.

38 What upset them the most was what he said about never seeing him again... Then they walked down to the ship with him.
