Acts 20:1-16

1AfterG3326 the uproarG2351 had ceasedG3973, PaulG3972 sentG3343 for 1the disciplesG3101, and when he had 2encouragedG3870 them and takenG782 his leaveG782 of them, he leftG1831 3to goG4198 to 4MacedoniaG3109. 2When he had goneG1330 throughG1330 thoseG1565 regionsG3313 and had givenG3870 them muchG4183 5encouragementG3870G3056, he cameG2064 to GreeceG1671. 3And there he spentG4160 threeG5140 monthsG3376, and when 6a plotG1917 was formedG1096 against him by the JewsG2453 as he wasG3195 aboutG3195 toG3195 setG321 sailG321 for 7SyriaG4947, he decidedG1096G1106 to returnG5290 throughG1223 8MacedoniaG3109. 4And 9he was accompaniedG4902 by SopaterG4986 of 10BereaG961, the son of PyrrhusG4450, and by 11AristarchusG708 and SecundusG4580 of the 12ThessaloniansG2331, and 13GaiusG1050 of 14DerbeG1190, and 15TimothyG5095, and 16TychicusG5190 and 17TrophimusG5161 of 1819AsiaG774. 5NowG1161 theseG3778 had goneG4281 on aheadG4281 and were waitingG3306 for 20us at 21TroasG5174. 622We sailedG1602 from 23PhilippiG5375 afterG3326 2425the daysG2250 of UnleavenedG106 BreadG106, and reachedG2064G4314 them at 26TroasG5174 withinG891 fiveG4002 daysG2250; and we stayedG1304 thereG3757 for sevenG2033 daysG2250.

7On 27the firstG1520 day of the weekG4521, when 28we were gatheredG4863 togetherG4863 to 29breakG2806 breadG740, PaulG3972 began talkingG1256 to them, intendingG3195 to leaveG1826 the nextG1887 dayG1887, and he prolongedG3905 his 30messageG3056 untilG3360 midnightG3317. 8There were manyG2425 31lampsG2985 in the 32upstairsG5253 roomG5253 whereG3757 we were gatheredG4863 togetherG4863. 9And there was a youngG3494 manG3494 namedG3686 33EutychusG2161 sittingG2516 34on the windowG2376 sillG2376, sinkingG2702 into a deepG901 sleepG5258; and as PaulG3972 keptG4183 onG4183 talkingG1256, Eutychus was overcomeG2702 by sleepG5258 and fellG4098 downG2736 from the thirdG5152 floorG5152, and was pickedG142 upG142 deadG3498. 10But PaulG3972 wentG2597 downG2597 and 35fellG1968 upon him, and after embracingG4843 him, he 36saidG3004, “37Do not beG2350 troubledG2350, for 38he is still aliveG5590.” 11When Paul had goneG305 back upG305 and had 39brokenG2806 the breadG740 and 40eatenG1089, he talkedG3656 with them a longG2425 whileG2425 untilG891 daybreakG827, and thenG3779 leftG1831. 12They tookG71 awayG71 the boyG3816 aliveG2198, and were 41greatlyG3756G3357 comfortedG3870.

13But 42we wentG4281 aheadG4281 to the shipG4143 and setG321 sailG321 for AssosG789, intendingG3195 fromG1564 thereG1564 to takeG353 PaulG3972 on boardG353; for thatG3779 wasG3779 whatG3779 he had arrangedG1299, intendingG3195 himselfG846 to goG3978 43byG3978 landG3978. 14And whenG5613 he metG4820 us at AssosG789, we tookG353 him onG353 boardG353 and cameG2064 to MityleneG3412. 15SailingG636 fromG2547 thereG2547, we arrivedG2658 the followingG1897 day oppositeG481 ChiosG5508; and the nextG2087 day we crossedG3846 overG3846 to SamosG4544, and on the followingG2192 day we cameG2064 to 44MiletusG3399. 16For PaulG3972 had decidedG2919 to sailG3896 pastG3896 45EphesusG2181 soG3704 thatG3704 he wouldG1096 not have to loseG5551 timeG5551 in 4647AsiaG773; for he was hurryingG4692, ifG1487 it might be possibleG1415 for him 48to be in JerusalemG2414 49the dayG2250 of PentecostG4005.
