Acts 20:1-16

1After the uproar had ceased, Paul sent for 1the disciples, and when he had 2encouraged them and taken his leave of them, he left 3to go to 4Macedonia. 2When he had gone through those regions and had given them much 5encouragement, he came to Greece. 3And there he spent three months, and when 6a plot was formed against him by the Jews as he was about to set sail for 7Syria, he decided to return through 8Macedonia. 4And 9he was accompanied by Sopater of 10Berea, the son of Pyrrhus, and by 11Aristarchus and Secundus of the 12Thessalonians, and 13Gaius of 14Derbe, and 15Timothy, and 16Tychicus and 17Trophimus of 1819Asia. 5Now these had gone on ahead and were waiting for 20us at 21Troas. 622We sailed from 23Philippi after 2425the days of Unleavened Bread, and reached them at 26Troas within five days; and we stayed there for seven days.

7On 27the first day of the week, when 28we were gathered together to 29break bread, Paul began talking to them, intending to leave the next day, and he prolonged his 30message until midnight. 8There were many 31lamps in the 32upstairs room where we were gathered together. 9And there was a young man named 33Eutychus sitting 34on the window sill, sinking into a deep sleep; and as Paul kept on talking, Eutychus was overcome by sleep and fell down from the third floor, and was picked up dead. 10But Paul went down and 35fell upon him, and after embracing him, he 36said, “37Do not be troubled, for 38he is still alive.” 11When Paul had gone back up and had 39broken the bread and 40eaten, he talked with them a long while until daybreak, and then left. 12They took away the boy alive, and were 41greatly comforted.

13But 42we went ahead to the ship and set sail for Assos, intending from there to take Paul on board; for that was what he had arranged, intending himself to go 43by 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 on the following day we came to 44Miletus. 16For Paul had decided to sail past 45Ephesus so that he would not have to lose time in 4647Asia; for he was hurrying, if it might be possible for him 48to be in Jerusalem 49the day of Pentecost.
