| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1After the uproar had ceased, Paul sent for the disciples, and when he had exhorted them and taken his leave of them, he left to go to Macedonia. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2When he had gone through those districts and had given them much exhortation, he came to Greece. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3And there he spent three months, and when a plot was formed against him by the Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he decided to return through Macedonia. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4And he was accompanied by Sopater of Berea, the son of Pyrrhus, and by Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5But these had gone on ahead and were waiting for us at Troas. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6We sailed from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and came to them at Troas within five days; and there we stayed seven days. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul began talking to them, intending to leave the next day, and he prolonged his message until midnight. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8There were many lamps in the upper room where we were gathered together. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9And there was a young man named Eutychus sitting on the window sill, sinking into a deep sleep; and as Paul kept on talking, he was overcome by sleep and fell down from the third floor and was picked up dead. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10But Paul went down and fell upon him, and after embracing him, he said, "Do not be troubled, for his life is in him." |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11When he had gone back up and had broken the bread and eaten, he talked with them a long while until daybreak, and then left. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12They took away the boy alive, and were greatly comforted. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13But we, going ahead to the ship, set sail for Assos, intending from there to take Paul on board; for so he had arranged it, intending himself to go by land. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and came to Mitylene. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Sailing from there, we arrived the following day opposite Chios; and the next day we crossed over to Samos; and the day following we came to Miletus. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus so that he would not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hurrying to be in Jerusalem, if possible, on the day of Pentecost. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17From Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called to him the elders of the church. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18And when they had come to him, he said to them, "You yourselves know, from the first day that I set foot in Asia, how I was with you the whole time, |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19serving the Lord with all humility and with tears and with trials which came upon me through the plots of the Jews; |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20how I did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, and teaching you publicly and from house to house, |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21solemnly testifying to both Jews and Greeks of repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22"And now, behold, bound in spirit, I am on my way to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there, |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23except that the Holy Spirit solemnly testifies to me in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions await me. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24"But I do not consider my life of any account as dear to myself, so that I may finish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify solemnly of the gospel of the grace of God. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25"And now, behold, I know that all of you, among whom I went about preaching the kingdom, will no longer see my face. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26"Therefore, I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all men. |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27"For I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole purpose of God. |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28"Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood. |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29"I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30and from among your own selves men will arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them. |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31"Therefore be on the alert, remembering that night and day for a period of three years I did not cease to admonish each one with tears. |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32"And now I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified. |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33"I have coveted no one's silver or gold or clothes. |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34"You yourselves know that these hands ministered to my own needs and to the men who were with me. |
| 35[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 35"In everything I showed you that by working hard in this manner you must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'" |
| 36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36When he had said these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all. |
| 37[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 37And they began to weep aloud and embraced Paul, and repeatedly kissed him, |
| 38[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 38grieving especially over the word which he had spoken, that they would not see his face again. And they were accompanying him to the ship. |
