Acts 20:3-28
3And there he spentG4160 threeG5140 monthsG3376, and when 1a plotG1917 was formedG1096 againstG1917 him by the JewsG2453 as he was aboutG3195 to setG321 sailG321 for 2SyriaG4947, he decidedG1096G1106 to returnG5290 throughG1223 3MacedoniaG3109. 4And 4he was accompaniedG4902 by SopaterG4986 of 5BereaG961, the son of PyrrhusG4450, and by 6AristarchusG708 and SecundusG4580 of the 7ThessaloniansG2331, and 8GaiusG1050 of 9DerbeG1190, and 10TimothyG5095, and 11TychicusG5190 and 12TrophimusG5161 of 1314AsiaG774. 5But theseG3778 had goneG4281 on aheadG4281 and were waitingG3306 for 15us at 16TroasG5174. 617We sailedG1602 from 18PhilippiG5375 afterG3326 19the daysG2250 of UnleavenedG106 Bread, and cameG2064 to them at 20TroasG5174 withinG891 fiveG4002 daysG2250; and thereG3699 we stayedG1304 sevenG2033 daysG2250.
7On 21the firstG1520 day of the weekG4521, when 22we were gatheredG4863 togetherG4863 to 23breakG2806 breadG740, PaulG3972 began talkingG1256 to them, intendingG3195 to leaveG1826 the nextG1887 dayG1887, and he prolongedG3905 his 24messageG3056 untilG3360 midnightG3317. 8There were manyG2425 25lampsG2985 in the 26upperG5253 roomG5253 whereG3757 we were gatheredG4863 togetherG4863. 9And there was a youngG3494 manG3494 namedG3686 27EutychusG2161 sittingG2516 28on the windowG2376 sillG2376, sinkingG2702 into a deepG901 sleepG5258; and as PaulG3972 kept on talkingG1256, he was overcomeG2702 by sleepG5258 and fellG4098 downG2736 from the thirdG5152 floorG5152 and was pickedG142 up deadG3498. 10But PaulG3972 wentG2597 downG2597 and 29fellG1968 upon him, and after embracingG4843 him, he 30saidG3004, “31Do not be troubledG2350, for his lifeG5590 is in him.” 11When he had goneG305 back up and had 32brokenG2806 the breadG740 and 33eatenG1089, he talkedG3656 with them a longG2425 whileG2425 untilG891 daybreakG827, and thenG3779 leftG1831. 12They tookG71 awayG71 the boyG3816 aliveG2198, and were 34greatlyG3756G3357 comfortedG3870.
13But 35we, goingG4281 aheadG4281 to the shipG4143, setG321 sailG321 for AssosG789, intendingG3195 from thereG1564 to takeG353 PaulG3972 on boardG353; for soG3779 he had arrangedG1299 it, intendingG3195 himselfG846 to goG3978 36by landG3978. 14And whenG5613 he metG4820 us at AssosG789, we tookG353 him on boardG353 and cameG2064 to MityleneG3412. 15SailingG636 from thereG2547, we arrivedG2658 the followingG1897 day oppositeG481 ChiosG5508; and the nextG2087 day we crossedG3846 overG3846 to SamosG4544; and the day followingG2192 we cameG2064 to 37MiletusG3399. 16For PaulG3972 had decidedG2919 to sailG3896 pastG3896 38EphesusG2181 soG3704 that he wouldG1096 not have to spendG5551 timeG5551 in 3940AsiaG773; for he was hurryingG4692 41to be in JerusalemG2414, ifG1487 possibleG1415, 42on the dayG2250 of PentecostG4005.
17From MiletusG3399 he sentG3992 to 43EphesusG2181 and calledG3333 to him 44the eldersG4245 of the churchG1577. 18And whenG5613 they had comeG3854 to him, he saidG3004 to them,
“You yourselvesG4771 knowG1987, 45from the firstG4413 dayG2250 that I setG1910 footG1910 in 46AsiaG773, howG4459 I was with you the wholeG3956 timeG5550, 19servingG1398 the LordG2962 with allG3956 humilityG5012 and with tearsG1144 and with trialsG3986 which cameG4819 upon me 47throughG1722 48the plotsG1917 of the JewsG2453; 20howG5613 I 49did not shrinkG5288 from declaringG312 to you anythingG3762 that was profitableG4851, and teachingG1321 you publiclyG1219 and 50from houseG3624 to houseG3624, 21solemnlyG1263 51testifyingG1263 to bothG5037 JewsG2453 and GreeksG1672 of 52repentanceG3341 towardG1519 GodG2316 and 53faithG4102 in our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 22And nowG3568, beholdG2400, boundG1210 by the 54SpiritG4151, 55I amG4198 on my wayG4198 to JerusalemG2419, not knowingG3609 what will happenG4876 to me thereG1722G846, 23exceptG4133 that 56the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 solemnlyG1263 57testifiesG1263 to me in everyG2596 cityG4172, sayingG3004 that 58bondsG1199 and afflictionsG2347 awaitG3306 me. 24But 59I do not considerG4160 my lifeG5590 of anyG3762 accountG3056 as dearG5093 to myselfG1683, soG5613 that I may 60finishG5048 my courseG1408 and 61the ministryG1248 whichG3739 I receivedG2983 from the LordG2962 JesusG2424, to 62testifyG1263 solemnlyG1263 of the gospelG2098 of 63the graceG5485 of GodG2316.
25“And nowG3568, beholdG2400, I knowG3609 that allG3956 of you, amongG1722 whomG3739 I wentG1330 aboutG1330 64preachingG2784 the kingdomG932, will noG3765 longerG3765 seeG3708 my faceG4383. 26ThereforeG1360, I 65testifyG3143 to you thisG4594 dayG2250 that 66I amG1510 67innocentG2513 of the bloodG129 of allG3956 menG3956. 27For I 68did not shrinkG5288 from declaringG312 to you the wholeG3956 69purposeG1012 of GodG2316. 28Be on guardG4337 for yourselvesG1438 and for allG3956 70the flockG4168, amongG1722 whichG3739 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 has madeG5087 you 71overseersG1985, to shepherdG4165 72the churchG1577 of GodG2316 whichG3739 73He 74purchasedG4046 75with His ownG2398 bloodG129.
