20Acts 20

1And after the uproar had ceased, Paul called to [him] the disciples, and embraced [them], and departed to go into Macedonia.Select Acts 20:1

2And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece,Select Acts 20:2

3And [there] abode three months. And when the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria, he purposed to return through Macedonia.Select Acts 20:3

4And there accompanied him into Asia Sopater of Berea; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and of Asia, Tychicus, and Trophimus.Select Acts 20:4

5These going before, tarried for us at Troas.Select Acts 20:5

6And we sailed away from Philippi, after the days of unleavened bread, and came to them to Troas in five days; where we abode seven days.Select Acts 20:6

7And upon the first [day] of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached to them (ready to depart on the morrow) and continued his speech until midnight.Select Acts 20:7

8And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were assembled.Select Acts 20:8

9And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, having fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell from the third loft, and was taken up dead.Select Acts 20:9

10And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing [him], said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.Select Acts 20:10

11When he had come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and discoursed a long while, even till break of day, so he departed.Select Acts 20:11

12And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.Select Acts 20:12

13And we went before to a ship, and sailed to Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so he had appointed, intending himself to go on foot.Select Acts 20:13

14And when he met with us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene.Select Acts 20:14

15And we sailed thence, and came the next [day] over against Chios; and the next [day] we arrived at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium; and the next [day] we came to Miletus.Select Acts 20:15

16For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.Select Acts 20:16

17And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church.Select Acts 20:17

18And when they had come to him, he said to them, Ye know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons,Select Acts 20:18

19Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:Select Acts 20:19

20[And] how I kept back nothing that was profitable [to you], but have shown you, and have taught you publicly, and from house to house,Select Acts 20:20

21Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance towards God, and faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ.Select Acts 20:21

22And now behold, I go bound in the spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:Select Acts 20:22

23Save that the Holy Spirit testifieth in every city, saying, that bonds and afflictions abide me.Select Acts 20:23

24But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my course with joy, and the ministry which I have received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.Select Acts 20:24

25And now behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, will see my face no more.Select Acts 20:25

26Wherefore I call you to witness this day, that I [am] pure from the blood of all [men].Select Acts 20:26

27For I have not shunned to declare to you all the counsel of God.Select Acts 20:27

28Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock over which the Holy Spirit hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.Select Acts 20:28

29For I know this, that after my departure grievous wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock.Select Acts 20:29

30Also from your own selves will men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.Select Acts 20:30

31Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.Select Acts 20:31

32And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them who are sanctified.Select Acts 20:32

33I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.Select Acts 20:33

34And ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered to my necessities, and to them that were with me.Select Acts 20:34

35I have shown you all things, that so laboring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.Select Acts 20:35

36And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all.Select Acts 20:36

37And they all wept bitterly, and fell on Paul's neck, and kissed him,Select Acts 20:37

38Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spoke, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.Select Acts 20:38
