1AndG1161 afterG3326 the uproarG3588G2351 was ceasedG3973, PaulG3588G3972 called untoG4341 him the disciplesG3588G3101, andG2532 embracedG782 them, and departedG1831 for to goG4198 intoG1519 MacedoniaG3588G3109. 2AndG1161 when he had gone overG1330 thoseG1565 partsG3588G3313, andG2532 had givenG3870 themG846 muchG4183 exhortationG3056, he cameG2064 intoG1519 GreeceG3588G1671, 3AndG5037 there abodeG4160 threeG5140 monthsG3376. And whenG5259 the JewsG3588G2453 laid waitG1096G1917 for himG846, as he was aboutG3195 to sailG321 intoG1519 SyriaG3588G4947, he purposedG1096G1106 to returnG3588G5290 throughG1223 MacedoniaG3109. 4AndG1161 there accompaniedG4902 himG846 intoG891 AsiaG3588G773 SopaterG4986 of BereaG961; andG1161 of the ThessaloniansG2331, AristarchusG708 andG2532 SecundusG4580; andG2532 GaiusG1050 of DerbeG1190, andG2532 TimothyG5095; andG1161 of AsiaG774, TychicusG5190 andG2532 TrophimusG5161. 5TheseG3778 going beforeG4281 tarriedG3306 for usG1473 atG1722 TroasG5174. 6AndG1161 weG1473 sailed awayG1602 fromG575 PhilippiG5375 afterG3326 the daysG3588G2250 of unleavened breadG106, andG2532 cameG2064 untoG4314 themG846 toG1519 TroasG3588G5174 inG891 fiveG4002 daysG2250; whereG3757 we abodeG1304 sevenG2033 daysG2250. 7AndG1722 uponG1161 the firstG1520 day of the weekG3588G4521, whenG4863 the disciplesG3588G3101 came togetherG4863 to breakG2806 breadG740, PaulG3588G3972 preachedG1256 unto themG846, readyG3195 to departG1826 on the morrowG1887; andG5037 continuedG3905 his speechG3588G3056 untilG3360 midnightG3317. 8AndG1161 there wereG1510 manyG2425 lightsG2985 inG1722 the upper chamberG3588G5253, whereG3757 they wereG1510 gathered togetherG4863. 9AndG1161 there satG2521 inG1909 a windowG3588G2376 a certainG5100 young manG3494 namedG3686 EutychusG2161, being fallenG2702 into a deepG901 sleepG5258: and asG1909 PaulG3588G3972 wasG1256 longG4119 preachingG1256, he sunk downG2702 withG575 sleepG3588G5258, and fell downG4098 fromG575 the third loftG3588G5152, andG2532 was takenG142 upG2736 deadG3498. 10AndG1161 PaulG3588G3972 went downG2597, and fellG1968 on himG846, andG2532 embracingG4843 him saidG3004, TroubleG2350 notG3361 yourselvesG2350; forG1063 hisG846 lifeG5590 isG1510 inG1722 himG846. 11WhenG1161 he therefore was come up againG305, andG2532 had brokenG2806 breadG740, andG2532 eatenG1089, andG5037 talkedG3656 a long whileG2425, even tillG891 break of dayG827, soG3779 he departedG1831. 12AndG1161 they broughtG71 the young manG3588G3816 aliveG2198, andG2532 wereG3870 notG3756 a littleG3357 comfortedG3870.

13AndG1161 weG1473 went beforeG4281 toG1909 shipG3588G4143, and sailedG321 untoG1519 AssosG3588G789, thereG1564 intendingG3195 to takeG353 in PaulG3588G3972: forG1063 soG3779 hadG1510 he appointedG1299, mindingG3195 himselfG846 to go afootG3978. 14AndG1161 whenG5613 he metG4820 with usG1473 atG1519 AssosG3588G789, we tookG353 himG846 inG353, and cameG2064 toG1519 MityleneG3412. 15And we sailedG636 thenceG2547, and cameG2658 the nextG1966 day over againstG481 ChiosG5508; andG1161 the nextG2087 day we arrivedG3846 atG1519 SamosG4544, andG2532 tarriedG3306 atG1722 TrogylliumG5175; and the nextG2192 day we cameG2064 toG1519 MiletusG3399. 16ForG1063 PaulG3588G3972 had determinedG2919 to sail byG3896 EphesusG3588G2181, becauseG3704 heG846 wouldG1096 notG3361 spend the timeG5551 inG1722 AsiaG3588G773: forG1063 he hastedG4692, ifG1487 it wereG1510 possibleG1415 for himG846, to beG1096 atG1519 JerusalemG2414 the dayG3588G2250 of PentecostG3588G4005. 17

AndG1161 fromG575 MiletusG3588G3399 he sentG3992 toG1519 EphesusG2181, and calledG3333 the eldersG4245 of the AssemblyG3588G1577. 18AndG1161 whenG5613 they were comeG3854 toG4314 himG846, he saidG3004 unto themG846, YeG4771 knowG1987, fromG575 the firstG4413 dayG2250 thatG3739 I cameG1910 intoG1519 AsiaG3588G773, after what mannerG4459 I have beenG1096 withG3326 youG4771 at allG3956 seasonsG5550, 19ServingG1398 the LordG3588G2962 withG3326 allG3956 humility of mindG5012, andG2532 with manyG4183 tearsG1144, andG2532 temptationsG3986, which befellG4819 meG1473 byG1722 the lying in waitG3588G1917 of the JewsG2453: 20And howG5613 I kept backG5288 nothingG3762 that was profitableG3588G4851 unto you, butG3361 have shewedG312 youG4771, andG2532 have taughtG1321 youG4771 publicklyG1219, andG2532 fromG2596 house to houseG3624, 21TestifyingG1263 bothG5037 to the JewsG2453, and alsoG2532 to the GreeksG1672, repentanceG3341 towardG1519 GodG3588G2316, andG2532 faithG4102 towardG1519 ourG1473 LordG3588G2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 22AndG2532 nowG3568, beholdG3708, IG1473 goG4198 boundG1210 in the spiritG3588G4151 untoG1519 JerusalemG2419, notG3361 knowingG1492 the thingsG3588 thatG1722 shall befallG4876 meG1473 thereG846: 23SaveG4133 thatG3754 the HolyG40 GhostG3588G4151 witnessethG1263 inG2596 every cityG4172, sayingG3004 thatG3754 bondsG1199 andG2532 afflictionsG2347 abideG3306 meG1473. 24ButG235 noneG3762 of these thingsG3056 move meG4160, neitherG3761 count IG2192 myG1473 lifeG3588G5590 dearG5093 unto myselfG1683, soG5613 that I might finishG5048 myG1473 courseG3588G1408 withG3326 joyG5479, andG2532 the ministryG3588G1248, whichG3739 I have receivedG2983 ofG3844 the LordG3588G2962 JesusG2424, to testifyG1263 the gospelG3588G2098 of the graceG3588G5485 of GodG3588G2316. 25AndG2532 nowG3568, beholdG3708, IG1473 knowG1492 thatG3754 yeG4771 allG3956, amongG1722 whomG3739 I have goneG1330 preachingG2784 the kingdomG3588G932 of GodG3588G2316, shall seeG3708 myG1473 faceG3588G4383 no moreG3765. 26WhereforeG1352 I takeG3143 youG4771 to recordG3143 thisG4594 dayG2250, thatG3754 IG1473 am pureG2513 fromG575 the bloodG3588G129 of allG3956 men. 27ForG1063 I haveG5288 notG3756 shunnedG5288 to declareG312 unto youG4771 allG3956 the counselG3588G1012 of GodG3588G2316. 28

Take heedG4337 thereforeG3767 unto yourselvesG1438, andG2532 to allG3956 the flockG3588G4168, overG1722 the whichG3739 the HolyG40 GhostG3588G4151 hath madeG5087 youG4771 overseersG1985, to feedG4165 the AssemblyG3588G1577 of GodG3588G2316, whichG3739 he hath purchasedG4046 withG1223 his ownG2398 bloodG129. 29ForG1063 IG1473 knowG1492 thisG3778, thatG3754 afterG3326 myG1473 departingG3588G867 shall grievousG926 wolvesG3074 enterG1525 in amongG1519 youG4771, notG3361 sparingG5339 the flockG3588G4168. 30AlsoG2532 ofG1537 yourG4771 own selvesG846 shallG435 menG435 ariseG450, speakingG2980 perverse thingsG1294, to draw awayG645 disciplesG3588G3101 afterG3694 themG846. 31ThereforeG1352 watchG1127, and rememberG3421, thatG3754 by the space of three yearsG5148 I ceasedG3973 notG3756 to warnG3560 everyG1538 oneG1520 nightG3571 andG2532 dayG2250 withG3326 tearsG1144. 32AndG2532 nowG3569, brethrenG80, I commendG3908 youG4771 to GodG3588G2316, andG2532 to the wordG3588G3056 of hisG846 graceG3588G5485, which is ableG3588G1410 to build you upG2026, andG2532 to giveG1325 youG4771 an inheritanceG2817 amongG1722 all themG3956 which are sanctifiedG3588G37. 33I have covetedG1937 no man’sG3762 silverG694, orG2228 goldG5553, orG2228 apparelG2441. 34YeaG1161, yeG1097 yourselvesG846 knowG1097, thatG3754 theseG3778 handsG3588G5495 have ministeredG5256 unto myG1473 necessitiesG3588G5532, andG2532 to themG3588 that wereG1510 withG3326 meG1473. 35I have shewedG5263 youG4771 all thingsG3956, how thatG3754 soG3779 labouringG2872 ye oughtG1163 to supportG482 the weakG770, andG5037 to rememberG3421 the wordsG3588G3056 of the LordG3588G2962 JesusG2424, howG3754 heG846 saidG3004, It isG1510 moreG3123 blessedG3107 to giveG1325 thanG2228 to receiveG2983.

36AndG2532 when he hadG3004 thusG3778 spokenG3004, he kneeled downG3588G1119, and prayedG4336 withG4862 themG846 allG3956. 37AndG1161 theyG2425 allG3956 wept soreG1096G2805, andG2532 fellG1968 onG1909 Paul’sG3588G3972 neckG3588G5137, and kissedG2705 himG846, 38SorrowingG3600 most of allG3122 forG1909 the wordsG3588G3056 whichG3739 he spakeG2046, thatG3754 they shouldG3195 seeG2334 hisG846 faceG3588G4383 no moreG3765. AndG1161 they accompaniedG4311 himG846 untoG1519 the shipG3588G4143.
