Acts 20:1-12 ▼

1 AND after the tumult had ceased, Paul called to him the disciples and comforted them and kissed them and then departed and went to Mac-e-do’ni-a.

2 And when he had traveled through those countries and had comforted them with many words, he came to Greece.

3 There he remained three months. But the Jews laid a plot against him, just as he was about to sail for Syria, so he decided to return to Mac-e-do’ni-a.

4 And there accompanied him, as far as Asia Minor, Sop’a-ter of the city of Be-re’a and Ar-is-tar’chus and Se-cun’dus of Thes-sa-loni’ca and Ga’ius of the city of Der’be and Ti-mo’the-us of Ly’stra, and from Asia Minor Tych’i-cus and Troph’i-mus.

5 These men went before us, and waited for us at Tro’as.

6 But we departed from the Mac-e-do’ni-an city of Phi-lip’pi, after the days of unleavened bread, and sailed and arrived at Tro’as in five days, where we staved seven days;

7 And on the first day of the week, while the disciples were assembled to break bread, Paul preached to them, and because he was ready to leave the next day, he prolonged his speech until midnight.

8 Now there was a great glow of light from the torches in the upper chamber, where we were gathered together.

9 And a young man named Eu’ty-chus was sitting at the floor opening above and listening, and as Paul prolonged his speech, the youth fell into a deep sleep, and while asleep he fell down from the third loft, and was taken up as dead.

10 And Paul went down and bent over him and embraced him and said, Do not be excited for he still lives.

11 And when he was come up again, and had broken bread and eaten, he continued to speak till daybreak; then he departed to journey by land.

12 And they carried away the young man alive, and rejoiced over him exceedingly.
