1 After the uproar had ceased, Paul sent for the disciples, took leave of them, and departed to go into Macedonia. 2 When he had gone through those parts and had encouraged them with many words, he came into Greece. 3 When he had spent three months there, and a plot was made against him by Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he determined to return through Macedonia. 4 These accompanied him as far as Asia: Sopater of Beroea, Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, Gaius of Derbe, Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia. 5 But these had gone ahead, and were waiting for us at Troas. 6 We sailed away from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and came to them at Troas in five days, where we stayed seven days.

7 On the first day of the week, when the disciples were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day; and continued his speech until midnight. 8 There were many lights in the upper room where we were gathered together. 9 A certain young man named Eutychus sat in the window, weighed down with deep sleep. As Paul spoke still longer, being weighed down by his sleep, he fell down from the third floor and was taken up dead. 10 Paul went down and fell upon him, and embracing him said, "Don’t be troubled, for his life is in him."

11 When he had gone up, had broken bread and eaten, and had talked with them a long while, even until break of day, he departed. 12 They brought the boy in alive, and were greatly comforted.

13 But we, going ahead to the ship, set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul aboard there; for he had so arranged, intending himself to go by land. 14 When he met us at Assos, we took him aboard and came to Mitylene. 15 Sailing from there, we came the following day opposite Chios. The next day we touched at Samos and stayed at Trogyllium, and the day after we came to Miletus. 16 For Paul had determined to sail past Ephesus, that he might not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hastening, if it were possible for him, to be in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.

17 From Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called to himself the elders of the assembly. 18 When they had come to him, he said to them, "You yourselves know, from the first day that I set foot in Asia, how I was with you all the time, 19 serving the Lord with all humility, with many tears, and with trials which happened to me by the plots of the Jews; 20 how I didn’t shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, teaching you publicly and from house to house, 21 testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus. 22 Now, behold, I go bound by the Spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there; 23 except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions wait for me. 24 But these things don’t count; nor do I hold my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to fully testify to the Good News of the grace of God.

25 "Now, behold, I know that you all, among whom I went about preaching God’s Kingdom, will see my face no more. 26 Therefore I testify to you today that I am clean from the blood of all men, 27 for I didn’t shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God. 28 Take heed, therefore, to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the assembly of the Lord and God which he purchased with his own blood. 29 For I know that after my departure, vicious wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 30 Men will arise from among your own selves, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them. 31 Therefore watch, remembering that for a period of three years I didn’t cease to admonish everyone night and day with tears. 32 Now, brothers, I entrust you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified. 33 I coveted no one’s silver, gold, or clothing. 34 You yourselves know that these hands served my necessities, and those who were with me. 35 In all things I gave you an example, that so laboring you ought to help 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 When he had spoken these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all. 37 They all wept freely, and fell on Paul’s neck and kissed him, 38 sorrowing most of all because of the word which he had spoken, that they should see his face no more. Then they accompanied him to the ship.

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.
