Acts 20:5-16

5NowG1161 theseG3778 had goneG4281 on aheadG4281 and were waitingG3306 for 1us at 2TroasG5174. 63We sailedG1602 from 4PhilippiG5375 afterG3326 56the daysG2250 of UnleavenedG106 BreadG106, and reachedG2064G4314 them at 7TroasG5174 withinG891 fiveG4002 daysG2250; and we stayedG1304 thereG3757 for sevenG2033 daysG2250.

7On 8the firstG1520 day of the weekG4521, when 9we were gatheredG4863 togetherG4863 to 10breakG2806 breadG740, PaulG3972 began talkingG1256 to them, intendingG3195 to leaveG1826 the nextG1887 dayG1887, and he prolongedG3905 his 11messageG3056 untilG3360 midnightG3317. 8There were manyG2425 12lampsG2985 in the 13upstairsG5253 roomG5253 whereG3757 we were gatheredG4863 togetherG4863. 9And there was a youngG3494 manG3494 namedG3686 14EutychusG2161 sittingG2516 15on 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 16fellG1968 upon him, and after embracingG4843 him, he 17saidG3004, “18Do not beG2350 troubledG2350, for 19he is still aliveG5590.” 11When Paul had goneG305 back upG305 and had 20brokenG2806 the breadG740 and 21eatenG1089, he talkedG3656 with them a longG2425 whileG2425 untilG891 daybreakG827, and thenG3779 leftG1831. 12They tookG71 awayG71 the boyG3816 aliveG2198, and were 22greatlyG3756G3357 comfortedG3870.

13But 23we 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 24byG3978 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 25MiletusG3399. 16For PaulG3972 had decidedG2919 to sailG3896 pastG3896 26EphesusG2181 soG3704 thatG3704 he wouldG1096 not have to loseG5551 timeG5551 in 2728AsiaG773; for he was hurryingG4692, ifG1487 it might be possibleG1415 for him 29to be in JerusalemG2414 30the dayG2250 of PentecostG4005.
