Acts 20:4-17

4And 1he was accompaniedG4902 by SopaterG4986 of 2BereaG961, the son of PyrrhusG4450, and by 3AristarchusG708 and SecundusG4580 of the 4ThessaloniansG2331, and 5GaiusG1050 of 6DerbeG1190, and 7TimothyG5095, and 8TychicusG5190 and 9TrophimusG5161 of 1011AsiaG774. 5But theseG3778 had goneG4281 on aheadG4281 and were waitingG3306 for 12us at 13TroasG5174. 614We sailedG1602 from 15PhilippiG5375 afterG3326 16the daysG2250 of UnleavenedG106 Bread, and cameG2064 to them at 17TroasG5174 withinG891 fiveG4002 daysG2250; and thereG3699 we stayedG1304 sevenG2033 daysG2250.

7On 18the firstG1520 day of the weekG4521, when 19we were gatheredG4863 togetherG4863 to 20breakG2806 breadG740, PaulG3972 began talkingG1256 to them, intendingG3195 to leaveG1826 the nextG1887 dayG1887, and he prolongedG3905 his 21messageG3056 untilG3360 midnightG3317. 8There were manyG2425 22lampsG2985 in the 23upperG5253 roomG5253 whereG3757 we were gatheredG4863 togetherG4863. 9And there was a youngG3494 manG3494 namedG3686 24EutychusG2161 sittingG2516 25on 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 26fellG1968 upon him, and after embracingG4843 him, he 27saidG3004, “28Do not be troubledG2350, for his lifeG5590 is in him.” 11When he had goneG305 back up and had 29brokenG2806 the breadG740 and 30eatenG1089, he talkedG3656 with them a longG2425 whileG2425 untilG891 daybreakG827, and thenG3779 leftG1831. 12They tookG71 awayG71 the boyG3816 aliveG2198, and were 31greatlyG3756G3357 comfortedG3870.

13But 32we, 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 33by 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 34MiletusG3399. 16For PaulG3972 had decidedG2919 to sailG3896 pastG3896 35EphesusG2181 soG3704 that he wouldG1096 not have to spendG5551 timeG5551 in 3637AsiaG773; for he was hurryingG4692 38to be in JerusalemG2414, ifG1487 possibleG1415, 39on the dayG2250 of PentecostG4005.

17From MiletusG3399 he sentG3992 to 40EphesusG2181 and calledG3333 to him 41the eldersG4245 of the churchG1577.
