Acts 20:15-20

15The next day we sailed past the island of Kios. The following day we crossed to the island of Samos, and a day later we arrived at Miletus.

16Paul had decided to sail on past Ephesus, for he didn’t want to spend any more time in the province of Asia. He was hurrying to get to Jerusalem, if possible, in time for the Festival of Pentecost.

17But when we landed at Miletus, he sent a message to the elders of the church at Ephesus, asking them to come and meet him.

18When they arrived he declared, “You know that from the day I set foot in the province of Asia until now

19I have done the Lord’s work humbly and with many tears. I have endured the trials that came to me from the plots of the Jews.

20I never shrank back from telling you what you needed to hear, either publicly or in your homes.
