1 And after the uproar θόρυβον thorubon G2351 ceased G3973 , Paul Παῦλος Paulos G3972 having sent G3343 for the disciples G3101 and exhorted G3870 them , took leave of them , and departed ἐξῆλθεν exēlthen G1831 to go πορεύεσθαι poreuesthai G4198 into Macedonia Μακεδονίαν.¶ Makedonian G3109 . 2 And when he had gone G1330 through those parts G3313 , and had given them much πολλῷ pollō G4183 exhortation, he came G2064 into Greece . 3 And when G1096 he had spent three τρεῖς, treis G5140 months μῆνας mēnas G3376 there , and a plot ἐπιβουλῆς epiboulēs G1917 was laid against him by the Jews Ἰουδαίων Ioudaiōn G2453 as he was about to set G321 sail ἀνάγεσθαι anagesthai G321 for Syria Συρίαν, Surian G4947 , he determined to return ὑποστρέφειν hupostrephein G5290 through Macedonia Μακεδονίας. Makedonias G3109 . 4 And there accompanied him as far as Asia , Sopater of Beroea, the son of Pyrrhus; and of the Thessalonians Θεσσαλονικέων Thessalonikeōn G2331 , Aristarchus Ἀρίσταρχος Aristarchos G708 and Secundus ; and Gaius Γάϊος Gaios G1050 of Derbe, and Timothy Τιμόθεος· Timotheos G5095 ; and of Asia , Tychicus Τύχικος Tuchikos G5190 and Trophimus Τρόφιμος, Trophimos G5161 . 5 But these had gone G4281 before , and were waiting for us at Troas Τρῳάδι· Trōadi G5174 . 7 And upon the first μιᾷ mia G1520 day ἐπαύριον epaurion G1887 of the week σαββάτων sabbatōn G4521 , when we were gathered G4863 together συνηγμένων sunēgmenōn G4863 to break κλάσαι klasai G2806 bread ἄρτον arton G740 , Paul Παῦλος Paulos G3972 discoursed with them , intending to depart on the morrow; and prolonged his speech G3056 until midnight μεσονυκτίου· mesonuktiou G3317 . 12 And they brought G71 the lad alive ζῶντα zōnta G2198 , and were not a little comforted παρεκλήθησαν pareklēthēsan G3870 . 13 But we , going before to the ship πλοῖον ploion G4143 , set G321 sail ἀνήχθημεν anēchthēmen G321 for Assos Ἆσσον, Asson G789 , there intending to take ἀναλαμβάνειν analambanein G353 in Paul Παῦλον· Paulon G3972 : for so G3779 had he appointed, intending himself to go G4281 by land . 15 And sailing ἀποπλεύσαντες apopleusantes G636 from thence, we came G2064 the following day over against Chios ; and the next ἑτέρᾳ hetera G2087 day we touched at Samos ; and the day after we came G2064 to Miletus Μίλητον. Milēton G3399 . 16 For Paul Παῦλος Paulos G3972 had determined to sail past Ephesus Ἔφεσον, Epheson G2181 , that he might not have to spend time in Asia Ἀσίᾳ· Asia G773 ; for he was εἴη eiē G1510 hastening , if it were G1510 possible δυνατὸν dunaton G1415 for him , to be G1510 at Jerusalem G2419 the day ἡμέραν hēmeran G2250 of Pentecost πεντηκοστῆς pentēkostēs G4005 . 17 And from Miletus Μιλήτου Milētou G3399 he sent G3992 to Ephesus Ἔφεσον Epheson G2181 , and called μετεκαλέσατο metekalesato G3333 to him the elders πρεσβυτέρους presbuterous G4245 of the church ἐκκλησίας. ekklēsias G1577 . 18 And when ὡς hōs G5613 they were come G1096 to him , he said G3004 unto them , Ye yourselves know ἐπίστασθε epistasthe G1987 , from the first πρώτης prōtēs G4413 day ἡμέρας hēmeras G2250 that I set foot in Asia Ἀσίαν Asian G773 , after what manner I was with you all the time χρόνον chronon G5550 , 19 serving G1398 the Lord κυρίῳ kuriō G2962 with all lowliness of mind , and with tears δακρύων dakruōn G1144 , and with trials πειρασμῶν peirasmōn G3986 which befell me by the plots G1917 of the Jews Ἰουδαίων· Ioudaiōn G2453 ; 20 how ὡς hōs G5613 I shrank not from declaring ἀναγγεῖλαι anangeilai G312 unto you anything that was profitable συμφερόντων sumpherontōn G4851 , and teaching διδάξαι didaxai G1321 you publicly δημοσίᾳ dēmosia G1219 , and from house οἴκους, oikous G3624 to house G3624 , 21 testifying διαμαρτυρόμενος diamarturomenos G1263 both to Jews Ἰουδαίοις Ioudaiois G2453 and to Greeks Ἕλλησιν Hellēsin G1672 repentance μετάνοιαν metanoian G3341 toward God θεὸν theon G2316 , and faith πίστιν pistin G4102 toward our Lord κύριον kurion G2962 Jesus Ἰησοῦν Iēsoun G2424 Christ Χριστόν.¶ Christon G5547 . 22 And now νῦν nun G3568 , behold ἰδοὺ idou G2400 , I go πορεύομαι poreuomai G4198 bound G1210 in the spirit πνεύματι pneumati G4151 unto Jerusalem Ἰερουσαλὴμ Ierousalēm G2419 , not knowing the things that shall befall me there : 23 save that the Holy ἅγιον hagion G40 Spirit πνεῦμα pneuma G4151 testifieth unto me in every city πόλιν polin G4172 , saying λέγον legon G3004 that bonds and afflictions G2347 abide G3306 me . 24 But I hold not my life ψυχὴν psuchēn G5590 of any account λόγου logou G3056 as dear unto myself , so that I may accomplish my course δρόμον dromon G1408 , and the ministry διακονίαν diakonian G1248 which I received G2983 from the Lord κυρίου kuriou G2962 Jesus Ἰησοῦ, Iēsou G2424 , to testify διαμαρτύρασθαι diamarturasthai G1263 the gospel εὐαγγέλιον euangelion G2098 of the grace χάριτος charitos G5485 of God θεοῦ. theou G2316 . 26 Wherefore I testify μαρτύρομαι marturomai G3143 unto you this day ἡμέρᾳ hēmera G2250 , that I am G1510 pure G2513 from the blood αἵματος aimatos G129 of all men . 27 For I shrank not from declaring G312 unto you the whole counsel βουλὴν boulēn G1012 of God θεοῦ theou G2316 . 28 Take προσέχετε prosechete G4337 heed unto yourselves , and to all the flock ποιμνίῳ, poimniō G4168 , in which the Holy ἅγιον hagion G40 Spirit πνεῦμα pneuma G4151 hath made you bishops, to feed the church ἐκκλησίαν ekklēsian G1577 of the Lord G2962 which he purchased with his own ἰδίου.¶ idiou G2398 blood αἵματος aimatos G129 . 29 I know that after my departing grievous wolves G3074 shall enter G1525 in among you , not sparing φειδόμενοι pheidomenoi G5339 the flock ποιμνίου, poimniou G4168 ; 30 and from among your own G1438 selves shall men G435 arise G450 , speaking λαλοῦντες lalountes G2980 perverse things , to draw away the disciples G3101 after them . 31 Wherefore watch γρηγορεῖτε grēgoreite G1127 ye, remembering μνημονεύοντες mnēmoneuontes G3421 that by the space of three years I ceased G3973 not to admonish νουθετῶν nouthetōn G3560 every one ἕνα hena G1520 night νύκτα nukta G3571 and day ἡμέραν hēmeran G2250 with tears δακρύων dakruōn G1144 . 32 And now νῦν nun G3568 I commend you to God θεῷ theō G2316 , and to the word λόγῳ logō G3056 of his grace χάριτος charitos G5485 , which is able δυναμένῳ dunamenō G1410 to build οἰκοδομῆσαι oikodomēsai G3618 you up , and to give δοῦναι dounai G1325 you the inheritance κληρονομίαν klēronomian G2817 among all them that are sanctified G37 . 33 I coveted G1937 no man’s silver ἀργυρίου arguriou G694 , or gold χρυσίου chrusiou G5553 , or apparel. 34 Ye yourselves know γινώσκετε ginōskete G1097 that these hands χεῖρες cheires G5495 ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were G1510 with me . 36 And when he had thus spoken , he kneeled down G5087 and prayed προσηύξατο. prosēuxato G4336 with them all . 37 And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul’s neck τράχηλον trachēlon G5137 and kissed him , 38 sorrowing most of all for the word λόγῳ logō G3056 which he had spoken , that they should behold his face πρόσωπον prosōpon G4383 no more . And they brought him on his way unto the ship πλοῖον.¶ ploion G4143 . ← Acts 19 Acts 21 → American Standard Version — 1901 — Public Domain
