Acts 20:15-20

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 1Miletus. 16For Paul had decided to sail past 2Ephesus so that he would not have to lose time in 3 4Asia; for he was hurrying, if it might be possible for him 5to be in Jerusalem 6the day of Pentecost.

17From Miletus he sent word to 7Ephesus and called to himself 8the elders of the church. 18And when they came to him, he said to them,

“You yourselves know, 9from the first day that I set foot in 10Asia, how I was with you the whole time, 19serving the Lord with all humility and with tears and trials which came upon me 11through 12the plots of the Jews; 20how I 13did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was beneficial, and teaching you publicly and 14from house to house,
