Context of Acts 20:12

10But Paul descending fell upon him, and enfolding [him] [in his arms], said, Be not troubled, for his life is in him. 11And having gone up, and having broken the bread, and eaten, and having long spoken until daybreak, so he went away. And they brought [away] the boy alive, and were no little comforted. 13And 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. 14And when he met with us at Assos, having taken him on board, we came to Mitylene;
