Acts 20:1-14 ▼

1 Now after the uproar had ceased, Paul, having summoned the disciples and having encouraged them, having said farewell, went out to go to Macedonia.

2 And having passed through those districts and having exhorted them with much talk, he came to Greece.

3 And having continued three months, a plot having been made against him by the Jews, he being about to sail into Syria, a purpose arose to return through Macedonia.

4 And he was accompanied by Sopater son of Pyrrhus, a Berean, and Aristarchus, and Secundus of the Thessalonians, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy, and the Asians Tychicus and Trophimus.

5 But these, having gone ahead, waited for us in Troas.

6 And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of the Unleavened, and within five days we came to them at Troas, where we stayed seven days.

7 And on the first of the week, we having come together to break bread, Paul, about to depart on the next day, talked to them and continued the talk until midnight.

8 Now there were many lamps in the upper room where we were assembled.

9 And a certain young man named Eutychus was sitting by the window, overcome by deep sleep, Paul talking on longer. Having been overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story and was picked up dead.

10 But Paul, having descended, fell upon him, and having embraced him, he said, “Do not be alarmed, for his life is in him!”

11 And having gone up, and having broken the bread, and having eaten, and having talked for a considerable time until daybreak, so he went out.

12 Then they brought the boy alive and were not just a little comforted.

13 But we, having gone ahead to the ship, sailed to Assos, being about to take in Paul there. For having arranged thus, he was readying himself to go on foot.

14 And when he met with us at Assos, having taken him in, we came to Mitylene.
