Acts 20

1 But, after the tumult had ceased, Paul, sending for the disciples and exhorting them, took leave, and went forth to be journeying unto Macedonia.

And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto him the disciples, and embraced them, and departed in order to go into Macedonia.

2 Passing through those parts, however, and exhorting them with much discourse, he came into Greece;

And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much exhortation, (logos) he came into Greece,

3 and, spending three months, when a plot was laid against him by the Jews, as he was about to sail to Syria, he determined to turn back through Macedonia.

And 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.

4 Now there were accompanying him, 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.

And 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.

5 And, these, came and were waiting for us at Troas.

These going before tarried for us at Troas.

6 And, we, sailed forth, after the days of unleavened bread, from Philippi, and came unto them in Troas in five days, where we tarried seven days.

And 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.

7 And, on the first of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul went on to discourse with them, being about to depart on the morrow; and he prolonged his discourse until midnight.

And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the next day; and continued his speech (logos) until midnight.

8 Now there were a good many torches in the upper room, where we were gathered together.

And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together.

9 And there sat, a certain young man by name Eutychus, in the window, who was getting overpowered by a deep sleep; and, while Paul was discoursing yet further, being overpowered by his sleep, he fell, from the third story, down, and was taken up dead.

And 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 upper room, and was taken up dead.

10 Going down, however, Paul fell upon him, and, embracing him, said—Be not making confusion; for, his soul, is, in him.

And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.

11 And, going up, and breaking the loaf, and tasting, —for a good while also conversing, until dawn, thus, he departed.

When 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.

12 And they brought the boy alive, and were comforted beyond measure.

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

13 And, we, going forward unto the ship, set sail for Assos, from thence being about to take up Paul; for, so, had he arranged, being about, himself, to go on foot.

And we went on board ship, and sailed unto Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, minding himself to go on foot.

14 And, when he fell in with us in Assos, we took him on board, and came into Mitylene;

And when he met with us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene.

15 and, from thence sailing away on the morrow, we came over against Chios, and, on the next day, we thrust aside into Samos, and, on the succeeding day, we came into Miletus.

And we sailed thence, and came the next day opposite to Chios; and the next day we arrived at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium; and the next day we came to Miletus.

16 For Paul had determined to sail past Ephesus, lest he should happen to lose time in Asia; for he hastened, if it were possible for him, against the day of Pentecost, to arrive, in Jerusalem.

For 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.

17 But, from Miletus, he sent unto Ephesus, and called for the elders of the assembly.

And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church.

18 And, when they were come to him, he said unto them—Ye yourselves, well know, from the first day when I set foot in Asia, in what manner came to be with you all the time,

And when they were come to him, he said unto them, All of you know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons,

19 doing service unto the Lord, with all humility and tears, and temptations which befell me through the plots of the Jews:

Serving the LORD with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:

20 in what manner I in nowise shrank from announcing unto you anything that was profitable and teaching you publicly and in your homes;

And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have showed you, and have taught you publicly, and from house to house,

21 bearing full witness, both to Jews and to Greeks, as to the repentance due unto God, and as to belief on our Lord Jesus.

Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

22 And, now, lo! I, bound in my spirit, am journeying unto Jerusalem; the things which therein shall befall me, not knowing, —

And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit (pneuma) unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:

23 save that, the Holy Spirit, from city to city, doth bear me full witness, saying that, bonds and tribulations, await me.

Save that the Holy Spirit (pneuma) witnesses in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.

24 But, for no cause whatever, am I making my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my course and the ministry which I have received from the Lord Jesus, to bear full witness as to the good news of the favour of God.

But none of these things (logos) 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.

25 And, now, lo! I, know that, no more, shall ye see my face, —ye all, among whom I have gone about proclaiming the kingdom.

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

26 Wherefore I take you to witness, on this very day, that, pure am I from the blood of all;

Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.

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

For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.

28 Be taking heed unto yourselves, and unto all the little flock in which the Holy Spirit hath set, you, as overseers, —to be shepherding the assembly of God which he hath acquired through means of the blood of his own.

Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Spirit (pneuma) has made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he has purchased with his own blood.

29 I, know, that there will enter, after my departure, grievous wolves into your midst, not sparing the little flock;

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

30 and, from among your own selves, will arise men speaking distorted things, to draw away the disciples after themselves.

Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.

31 Wherefore, be on the watch, remembering that, for three years, night and day, I gave myself no rest, with tears, admonishing each one.

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

32 Now, therefore, I commend you unto the Lord, and unto his word of favour, —which is able to build up and give the inheritance among all the hallowed ones.

And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word (logos) of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.

33 The silver or gold or apparel of no one, did I covet:

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

34 yourselves, acknowledge that, for my necessities and for those who were with me, hard wrought these hands!

Yea, all of you yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.

35 In all things, I gave you to understand, that, thus toiling, it behoves to be helping the weak, also to be keeping in mind the words of the Lord Jesus, that, he himself, said—Happy is it, rather to give than to receive!

I have showed you all things, how that so labouring all of you ought to support the weak, and to remember the words (logos) of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

36 And, these things saying, kneeling down with them all, he prayed.

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

37 And they all wept much, and, falling upon Paul’s neck, they were tenderly kissing him;

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

38 being most distressed for the word which he had said, —That, no more, should they, his face, behold. And they accompanied him unto the ship.

Sorrowing most of all for the words (logos) which he spoke, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him unto the ship.
