Acts 20:1-16 ▼

1 After the tumult had ceased, Paul called the disciples to him, and bade them farewell, and departed, in order to go into Macedonia.

2 And when he had gone through those regions, and had exhorted them with many words, he came into Greece.

3 And having remained there three months, he determined to return through Macedonia, because a plot had been laid for him by the Jews, as he was about to sail to Syria.

4 And Sopater of Berea, and Aristarchus and Secundus of Thessalonica, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy and Tychicus and Trophimus, who were Asiatics, accompanied him to Asia.

5 These went before, and waited for us at Troas.

6 But we sailed from Philippi, after the days of unleavened bread, and came to them at Troas in five days, where we remained seven days.

7 And on the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul discoursed to them, intending to depart on the morrow; and he continued his speech till midnight.

8 And there were many lamps in the upper room, in which they had met together.

9 And a certain young man, named Eutychus, was sitting in the window, overpowered with deep sleep: and, as Paul was discoursing a long time, being oppressed with sleep, he fell from the third story, and was taken up dead.

10 But Paul went down, and fell upon him, and embracing him, said: Be not troubled, for his life is in him.

11 And he went up again, and broke bread, and ate; and having conversed a long time, till daylight, he thus departed.

12 And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.

13 And we went on before to the ship, and put to sea for Assos, intending to take Paul on board at that place; for he had so directed, intending to go himself on foot.

14 And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board, and came to Mitylene;

15 and sailing from that place, we came, on the following day, opposite to Chios; and, on the next day, we arrived at Samos: and after stopping at Trogyllium, we came, on the next day, to Miletus.

16 For Paul had determined to sail past Ephesus, that he might not spend time in Asia; for he hastened, that, if it were possible for him, he might be in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.
