1 But after the tumult had ceased, Paul having called the disciples to {him} and embraced {them}, went away to go to Macedonia.
2 And having passed through those parts, and having exhorted them with much discourse, he came to Greece.
3 And having spent three months {there}, a treacherous plot against him having been set on foot by the Jews, as he was going to sail to Syria, {the} resolution was adopted of returning through Macedonia.
4 And there accompanied him as far as Asia, Sopater {son} of Pyrrhus, a Berean; and of Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus, and Gaius and Timotheus of Derbe, and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.
5 These going before waited for us in Troas;
6 but we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and we came to them to Troas in five days, where we spent seven days.
7 And the first day of the week, we being assembled to break bread, Paul discoursed to them, about to depart on the morrow. And he prolonged the discourse till midnight.
8 And there were many lights in the upper room where we were assembled.
9 And a certain youth, by name Eutychus, sitting at the window-opening, overpowered by deep sleep, while Paul discoursed very much at length, having been overpowered by the sleep, fell from the third story down to the bottom, and was taken up dead.
10 But Paul descending fell upon him, and enfolding {him} {in his arms}, said, Be not troubled, for his life is in him.
11 And having gone up, and having broken the bread, and eaten, and having long spoken until daybreak, so he went away.
12 And they brought {away} the boy alive, and were no little comforted.
13 And we, having gone before on board ship, sailed off to Assos, going to take in Paul there; for so he had directed, he himself being about to go on foot.
14 And when he met with us at Assos, having taken him on board, we came to Mitylene;
15 and having sailed thence, on the morrow arrived opposite Chios, and the next day put in at Samos; and having stayed at Trogyllium, the next day we came to Miletus:
16 for Paul thought it desirable to sail by Ephesus, so that he might not be made to spend time in Asia; for he hastened, if it was possible for him, to be the day of Pentecost at Jerusalem.
17 But from Miletus having sent to Ephesus, he called over {to him} the elders of the assembly.
18 And when they were come to him, he said to them, *Ye* know how I was with you all the time from the first day that I arrived in Asia,
19 serving the Lord with all lowliness, and tears, and temptations, which happened to me through the plots of the Jews;
20 how I held back nothing of what is profitable, so as not to announce {it} to you, and to teach you publicly and in every house,
21 testifying to both Jews and Greeks repentance towards God, and faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ.
22 And now, behold, bound in my spirit *I* go to Jerusalem, not knowing what things shall happen to me in it;
23 only that the Holy Spirit testifies to me in every city, saying that bonds and tribulations await me.
24 But I make no account of {my} life {as} dear to myself, so that I finish my course, and the ministry which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the glad tidings of the grace of God.
25 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone about preaching the kingdom {of God}, shall see my face no more.
26 Wherefore I witness to you this day, that I am clean from the blood of all,
27 for I have not shrunk from announcing to you all the counsel of God.
28 Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock, wherein the Holy Spirit has set you as overseers, to shepherd the assembly of God, which he has purchased with the blood of his own.
29 {For} *I* know {this,} that there will come in amongst you after my departure grievous wolves, not sparing the flock;
30 and from among your own selves shall rise up men speaking perverted things to draw away the disciples after them.
31 Wherefore watch, remembering that for three years, night and day, I ceased not admonishing each one {of you} with tears.
32 And now I commit you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build {you} up and give {to you} an inheritance among all the sanctified.
33 I have coveted {the} silver or gold or clothing of no one.
34 Yourselves know that these hands have ministered to my wants, and to those who were with me.
35 I have shewed you all things, that thus labouring {we} ought to come in aid of the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
36 And having said these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all.
37 And they all wept sore; and falling upon the neck of Paul they ardently kissed him,
38 specially pained by the word which he had said, that they would no more see his face. And they went down with him to the ship.
1 骚乱平息以后， 保罗派人把门徒请了来， 劝勉一番， 就辞别起行， 往马其顿去。
2 他走遍那一带地方， 用许多话劝勉众人， 然后来到希腊。
3 他在那里住了三个月， 正要坐船往叙利亚去的时候， 有些犹太人设计要害他， 他就决意路经马其顿回去。
4 与他同行的有比里亚人毕罗斯的儿子所巴特， 帖撒罗尼迦人亚里达古和西公都， 特庇人该犹和提摩太， 亚西亚人推基古和特罗非摩。
5 这些人先走， 在特罗亚等候我们。
6 至于我们， 过了除酵节才从腓立比开船， 五天后到特罗亚他们那里， 逗留了七天。
7 礼拜日， 我们聚会擘饼的时候， 保罗对大家讲道， 他因第二天就要起行， 就一直讲到半夜。
8 我们聚会的那座楼上， 有许多灯火。
9 有一个少年人， 名叫犹推古， 坐在窗台上， 因为保罗讲得很长， 他很困倦， 沉沉地睡着了， 就从三楼跌下来； 把他扶起来的时候， 已经死了。
10 保罗走下去， 伏在他身上； 把他抱住， 说： "你们不要惊慌， 他还活着。"
11 随即回到楼上， 擘饼吃了， 又讲了很久， 直到天亮才走。
12 他们把活着的孩子带走， 得到很大的安慰。
13 我们先上船， 开往亚朔， 照着保罗的安排， 要在那边接他， 因为他自己要走陆路去。
14 他在亚朔与我们会合， 我们接他上船， 去到米推利尼。
15 从那里开船， 第二天到了基阿对面， 过了一天就在撒摩靠岸， 再过一天到了米利都。
16 原来保罗决定越过以弗所， 免得在亚西亚耽搁时间， 因为他希望能在五旬节赶到耶路撒冷。
17 他从米利都派人去以弗所， 请教会的长老来。
18 他们到了， 保罗说： "你们知道， 自从我到了亚西亚的第一天， 我一直怎样跟你们相处， 怎样服事主，
19 凡事谦卑， 常常流泪， 忍受犹太人谋害的试炼。
20 你们也知道， 我从来没有留下一件有益的事， 不在众人面前或在家里告诉你们， 教导你们。
21 我对犹太人和希腊人都作过见证， 要他们悔改归向 神， 信靠我们的主耶稣。
22 现在， 我的心灵受到催逼， 要去耶路撒冷， 我不知道在那里会遭遇什么事，
23 只知道在各城里圣灵都向我指明， 说有捆锁和患难在等着我。
24 但我并不珍惜自己的性命， 只求跑完我的路程， 完成我从主耶稣所领受的职分， 为 神恩惠的福音作见证。
25 "我曾在你们那里走遍各地， 宣扬 神的国。现在， 我知道你们众人不会再见我的面了。
26 所以我今天向你们作证， 我是清白的， 与众人的罪（"罪"原文作"血"）无关。
27 因为 神的全部计划， 我已经毫无保留地传给你们了。
28 圣灵既然立你们为全群的监督， 牧养 神用自己的血所赎来的教会， 你们就应当为自己谨慎， 也为全群谨慎。
29 我知道在我离开之后， 必有凶暴的豺狼进入你们中间， 不顾惜羊群。
30 你们自己中间也必有人起来， 讲些歪曲悖谬的话， 引诱门徒跟从他们。
31 所以你们应当警醒， 记念我三年之久， 昼夜不停地带着眼泪劝戒你们各人。
32 现在我把你们交托给 神和他恩惠的道； 这道能建立你们， 也能在所有成圣的人中赐基业给你们。
33 我从来没有贪图任何人的金银或衣服。
34 我这两只手， 供应了我和同伴的需要， 这是你们自己知道的。
35 我凡事以身作则， 你们必须照样辛劳， 扶助软弱的人， 并且记念主耶稣的话： ‘施比受更为有福。’"
36 他说了这些话， 就跪下来同大家一起祷告。
37 众人都痛哭， 伏在保罗的颈上， 与他亲嘴。
38 他们最伤心的， 是保罗说他们不会再见他的面那句话。最后他们送他上了船。
