1 And after the tumult was over, Paul sent for the disciples
to him, and having embraced them, departed to
go into Macedonia.
2 And having passed through those
-- --
parts, and given them much exhortation, he came into
Greece.
3 And when he had spent three months there,
the Jews having laid wait for him as he was going to
embark for Syria, note he determined to return by Macedonia.
4 And there accompanied him to Asia, Sopater
the Berean, and of the Thessalonians Aristarchus and
Secundus, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy: and the
Asiatics,
5 Tychicus and Trophimus, note who went before
and stayed for us at Troas.
6 And after the days of
unleavened bread we sailed note from Philippi, and came
to them at Troas in five days, where we spent seven
days.
7 And upon the first day of the week, when the
disciples were assembled together to break bread, Paul
being about to depart on the morrow, preached unto
them, and continued his discourse till midnight.
8 And
there were many lamps in the upper room where they
were assembled.
9 And a note young man named Eutychus,
who sat in a window, falling into a deep sleep, as Paul
was discoursing for a long time, sunk down note and fell
note from the third story, and was taken up dead.
10 And
Paul went down and note leaned over him, and took him
up and said, Be not disturbed; for his life is in him.
11 Then he went up again, and having broken bread and
eaten, and conversed with them a considerable time, even
till break of day, note he departed.
12 And they brought in
the young man alive, note and were not a little comforted.
13 But we went before to the ship, and sailed to Assos,
being there to take in Paul: for so he had appointed,
designing himself to go on foot.
14 And as soon as he
joined us at Assos, we took him in and came to Mitylene.
15 And sailing from thence we came the next day
over against Chios; and the day following we arrived at
Samos, and stopping at Trogyllium, we came the day
after to Miletus.
16 For Paul had determined to sail by
Ephesus, that he might not spend time in Asia: for he
endeavoured, if it were possible note, to be at Jerusalem on
the day of Pentecost.
17 But he sent from Miletus to Ephesus, and called the
elders of the church.
18 And when they were come to
him, he said unto them, Ye know in what manner I
-- --
behaved among you all the time, from the first day that
I came into Asia.
19 Serving the Lord with all humility,
and many tears, and trials which befel me by the ambushes
of the Jews.
20 And how I with-held nothing
that was useful, note but have declared it to you, and have
taught you publicly and from house to house:
21 testifying
both to the Jews and Greeks, repentance towards God,
and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
22 And now, being
constrained by the spirit, behold I am going to Jerusalem,
not knowing what note will befal me note there:
23 save
that the holy Spirit testifieth in every city, note that bonds
and afflictions await me.
24 But note none of these things move me, nor do I account my life dear note, so that I
may finish my course with joy, and the note ministry which
I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel
of the grace of God.
25 And now behold I know that
ye note all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom
of God, shall see my face no more.
26 Wherefore I
note call you to witness this day, that I am clear from the
blood of all men.
27 For I have not note failed to declare
unto you all the counsel of God.
28 Take heed therefore
to yourselves, and to all the flock, in which the holy
Spirit hath appointed you bishops, to feed the church of
God, which He purchased with his own blood.
29 For I
know this, that after my departure grievous wolves will
enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30 And from
among yourselves shall men arise, speaking perverse
things to draw away disciples after them.
31 Watch therefore,
remembering that for the space of three years I
ceased not by night and by day to warn every one with
tears.
32 And now, my brethren, I recommend you to
God, and to the note word of his grace: who is able to
edify you, and to give you an inheritance among all that
are sanctified.
33 I have coveted no one's silver, or gold,
or apparel:
34 and ye yourselves know that these hands
have ministred to my necessities, and to those that were
with me.
35 I have shewed you in all things, that by labouring
thus ye ought to support the infirm; and to
remember the words of the Lord Jesus, note who said, It
is more blessed to give than to receive.
-- --
36 And when he had said these things, he kneeled down,
and prayed with them all.
37 And note they were all much
grieved, and fell on Paul's neck, and kissed him:
sorrowing most of all at the word which he spake,
38 that
they should see his face no more. And they accompanied
him to the ship.
