Paul in Macedonia and Greece

1And after the tumult was over, Paul sent for the disciples to him, and having embraced them, departed to go into Macedonia. 2And having passed through those parts, and given them much exhortation, he came into Greece. 3And when he had spent three months there, the Jews having laid wait for him as he was going to embark for Syria, he determined to return by Macedonia. 4And there accompanied him to Asia, Sopater the Berean, and of the Thessalonians Aristarchus and Secundus, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy: and the Asiatics, 5Tychicus and Trophimus, who went before and stayed for us at Troas. 6And after the days of unleavened bread we sailed from Philippi, and came to them at Troas in five days, where we spent seven days.

Eutychus Revived at Troas

7And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples were assembled together to break bread, Paul being about to depart on the morrow, preached unto them, and continued his discourse till midnight. 8And there were many lamps in the upper room where they were assembled. 9And a young man named Eutychus, who sat in a window, falling into a deep sleep, as Paul was discoursing for a long time, sunk down and fell from the third story, and was taken up dead. 10And Paul went down and leaned over him, and took him up and said, Be not disturbed; for his life is in him. 11Then he went up again, and having broken bread and eaten, and conversed with them a considerable time, even till break of day, he departed. 12And they brought in the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.

From Troas to Miletus

13But we went before to the ship, and sailed to Assos, being there to take in Paul: for so he had appointed, designing himself to go on foot. 14And as soon as he joined us at Assos, we took him in and came to Mitylene. 15And sailing from thence we came the next day over against Chios; and the day following we arrived at Samos, and stopping at Trogyllium, we came the day after to Miletus. 16For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, that he might not spend time in Asia: for he endeavoured, if it were possible, to be at Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.

Paul’s Farewell to the Ephesians

17But he sent from Miletus to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church. 18And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know in what manner I behaved among you all the time, from the first day that I came into Asia. 19Serving the Lord with all humility, and many tears, and trials which befel me by the ambushes of the Jews. 20And how I with-held nothing that was useful, but have declared it to you, and have taught you publicly and from house to house: 21testifying both to the Jews and Greeks, repentance towards God, and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. 22And now, being constrained by the spirit, behold I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will befal me there: 23save that the holy Spirit testifieth in every city, that bonds and afflictions await me. 24But none of these things move me, nor do I account my life dear, so that I may finish my course with joy, and the ministry which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

25And now behold I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more. 26Wherefore I call you to witness this day, that I am clear from the blood of all men. 27For I have not failed to declare unto you all the counsel of God. 28Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock, in which the holy Spirit hath appointed you bishops, to feed the church of God, which He purchased with his own blood. 29For I know this, that after my departure grievous wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 30And from among yourselves shall men arise, speaking perverse things to draw away disciples after them. 31Watch therefore, remembering that for the space of three years I ceased not by night and by day to warn every one with tears. 32And now, my brethren, I recommend you to God, and to the word of his grace: who is able to edify you, and to give you an inheritance among all that are sanctified. 33I have coveted no one's silver, or gold, or apparel: 34and ye yourselves know that these hands have ministred to my necessities, and to those that were with me. 35I have shewed you in all things, that by labouring thus ye ought to support the infirm; and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, who said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

36And when he had said these things, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all. 37And they were all much grieved, and fell on Paul's neck, and kissed him: sorrowing most of all at the word which he spake, 38that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.
