Acts 20:4-17

4And 1he was accompanied by Sopater of 2Berea, the son of Pyrrhus, and by 3Aristarchus and Secundus of the 4Thessalonians, and 5Gaius of 6Derbe, and 7Timothy, and 8Tychicus and 9Trophimus of 1011Asia. 5But these had gone on ahead and were waiting for 12us at 13Troas. 614We sailed from 15Philippi after 16the days of Unleavened Bread, and came to them at 17Troas within five days; and there we stayed seven days.

7On 18the first day of the week, when 19we were gathered together to 20break bread, Paul began talking to them, intending to leave the next day, and he prolonged his 21message until midnight. 8There were many 22lamps in the 23upper room where we were gathered together. 9And there was a young man named 24Eutychus sitting 25on the window sill, sinking into a deep sleep; and as Paul kept on talking, he was overcome by sleep and fell down from the third floor and was picked up dead. 10But Paul went down and 26fell upon him, and after embracing him, he 27said, “28Do not be troubled, for his life is in him.” 11When he had gone back up and had 29broken the bread and 30eaten, he talked with them a long while until daybreak, and then left. 12They took away the boy alive, and were 31greatly comforted.

13But 32we, going ahead to the ship, set sail for Assos, intending from there to take Paul on board; for so he had arranged it, intending himself to go 33by land. 14And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and came to Mitylene. 15Sailing from there, we arrived the following day opposite Chios; and the next day we crossed over to Samos; and the day following we came to 34Miletus. 16For Paul had decided to sail past 35Ephesus so that he would not have to spend time in 3637Asia; for he was hurrying 38to be in Jerusalem, if possible, 39on the day of Pentecost.

17From Miletus he sent to 40Ephesus and called to him 41the elders of the church.
