Acts - Chapter: 20


20:1	After the uproar had ceased, Paul called the disciples to himself, embraced them, and departed to go to Macedonia.
20:2	Now when he had gone over that region and encouraged them with many words, he came into Greece
20:3	and stayed there three months. And when the Jews plotted against him as he was about to sail to Syria, he decided to return through Macedonia.
20:4	And Sopater of Berea accompanied him to Asia, also Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy, and of Asia Tychicus and Trophimus.
20:5	These, going ahead, waited for us at Troas.
20:6	But we sailed away from Philippi after the Days of Unleavened Bread, and in five days joined them at Troas, where we stayed seven days.
20:7	Now on the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul, ready to depart the next day, preached to them and continued his message until midnight.
20:8	There were many lamps in the upper room where they were gathered together.
20:9	And in a window sat a certain young man named Eutychus, who was falling into a deep sleep. He was overcome by sleep; and as Paul continued preaching, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead.
20:10	But Paul went down, fell on him, and embracing him said, "Do not trouble yourselves, because his life is in him."
20:11	Now when he had come up again, had broken bread and eaten, and talked a long while, even until daybreak, he departed.
20:12	And they brought the young man in alive, and they were not a little comforted.
20:13	Then we went ahead to the ship and sailed to Assos, there intending to take Paul on board; because he had given orders, intending himself to go on foot.
20:14	And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and came to Mitylene.
20:15	We sailed from there, and the next day came opposite Chios. The following day we arrived at Samos and stayed at Trogyllium. The next day we came to Miletus.
20:16	Because, Paul had determined to sail past Ephesus, so that he would not have to spend time in Asia; because he was hurrying to be at Jerusalem, if possible, on the Day of Pentecost.
20:17	From Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called for the elders of the church.
20:18	And when they had come to him, he said to them: "You know, from the first day that I came to Asia, in what manner I always lived among you, in every season
20:19	serving the Lord with all humility of mind, with many tears and trials which happened to me by the plotting of the Jews;
20:20	and how I kept back nothing that was helpful to you, but have shown you, and taught you publicly and from house to house,
20:21	testifying both to Jews, and also to Greeks, repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
20:22	And behold, now I go bound in the spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall happen to me there,
20:23	except that the Holy Spirit witnesses in every city, saying that chains and afflictions await me.
20:24	But none of these things move me; nor do I count 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 testify the gospel of the grace of God.
20:25	"And indeed, now I know that you all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, will see my face no longer.
20:26	Therefore I want you to record this day that I am innocent of the blood of all people.
20:27	Because I have not shunned to declare to you the entire counsel of God.
20:28	Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among whom the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to feed the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.
20:29	Because I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock.
20:30	Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after themselves.
20:31	Therefore watch, and remember that for the space of three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears.
20:32	"So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.
20:33	I have coveted no one's silver or gold or apparel.
20:34	Yes, you yourselves know that these hands have provided for my necessities, and for those who were with me.
20:35	I have shown you in everything, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"
20:36	And when he had said these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all.
20:37	Then they all wept freely, and fell on Paul's neck and kissed him,
20:38	sorrowing most of all for the words which he spoke, that they would see his face no longer. And they accompanied him to the ship.


20:1	Nowe after the tumult was appeased, Paul called the disciples vnto him, and embraced them, and departed to goe into Macedonia.
20:2	And when hee had gone through those parts, and had exhorted them with many words, he came into Grecia.
20:3	And hauing taried there three moneths, because the Iewes layde waite for him, as hee was about to saile into Syria, hee purposed to returne through Macedonia.
20:4	And there accompanied him into Asia, Sopater of Berea, and of them of Thessalonica, Aristarchus, and Secundus, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus, and of them of Asia, Tychicus, and Trophimus.
20:5	These went before, and taried vs at Troas.
20:6	And we sailed forth from Philippi, after the dayes of vnleauened bread, and came vnto them to Troas in fiue dayes, where we abode seuen dayes.
20:7	And the first day of the weeke, the disciples being come together to breake bread, Paul preached vnto them, ready to depart on the morrow, and continued the preaching vnto midnight.
20:8	And there were many lightes in an vpper chamber, where they were gathered together.
20:9	And there sate in a windowe a certaine yong man, named Eutychus, fallen into a dead sleepe: and as Paul was long preaching, hee ouercome with sleepe, fell downe from the thirde loft, and was taken vp dead.
20:10	But Paul went downe, and layde himselfe vpon him, and embraced him, saying, Trouble not your selues: for his life is in him.
20:11	Then when Paul was come vp againe, and had broken bread, and eaten, hauing spoken a long while till the dawning of the day, hee so departed.
20:12	And they brought the boye aliue, and they were not a litle comforted.
20:13	Then we went before to shippe, and sailed vnto the citie Assos, that wee might receiue Paul there: for so had hee appointed, and would himselfe goe afoote.
20:14	Now when he was come vnto vs to Assos, and we had receiued him, we came to Mitylenes.
20:15	And wee sailed thence, and came the next day ouer against Chios, and the next day we arriued at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium: the next day we came to Miletum.
20:16	For Paul had determined to saile by Ephesus, because hee woulde not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted to be, if hee could possible, at Hierusalem, at the day of Pentecost.
20:17	Wherefore from Miletum, hee sent to Ephesus, and called the Elders of the Church.
20:18	Who when they were come to him, hee said vnto them, Ye know from the first day that I came into Asia, after what maner I haue bene with you at all seasons,
20:19	Seruing the Lord with all modestie, and with many teares, and tentations, which came vnto me by the layings awaite of the Iewes,
20:20	And how I kept backe nothing that was profitable, but haue shewed you, and taught you openly and throughout euery house,
20:21	Witnessing both to the Iewes, and to the Grecians the repentance towarde God, and faith toward our Lord Iesus Christ.
20:22	And nowe beholde, I goe bound in the Spirit vnto Hierusalem, and know not what things shall come vnto me there,
20:23	Saue that ye holy Ghost witnesseth in euery citie, saying, that bondes and afflictions abide me.
20:24	But I passe not at all, neither is my life deare vnto my selfe, so that I may fulfill my course with ioye, and the ministration which I haue receiued of the Lord Iesus, to testifie the Gospell of the grace of God.
20:25	And now behold, I know that henceforth ye all, through whome I haue gone preaching the kingdome of God, shall see my face no more.
20:26	Wherefore I take you to recorde this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.
20:27	For I haue kept nothing backe, but haue shewed you all the counsell of God.
20:28	Take heede therefore vnto your selues, and to all the flocke, whereof the holy Ghost hath made you Ouerseers, to feede the Church of God, which hee hath purchased with that his owne blood.
20:29	For I knowe this, that after my departing shall grieuous wolues enter in among you, not sparing the flocke.
20:30	Moreouer of your owne selues shall men arise speaking peruerse thinges, to drawe disciples after them.
20:31	Therefore watche, and remember, that by the space of three yeres I ceased not to warne euery one, both night and day with teares.
20:32	And nowe brethren, I commend you to God, and to the worde of his grace, which is able to build further, and to giue you an inheritance, among all them, which are sanctified.
20:33	I haue coueted no mans siluer, nor gold, nor apparell.
20:34	Yea, ye knowe, that these handes haue ministred vnto my necessities, and to them that were with me.
20:35	I haue shewed you all things, howe that so labouring, ye ought to support the weake, and to remember the wordes of the Lord Iesus, howe that hee saide, It is a blessed thing to giue, rather then to receiue.
20:36	And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled downe, and prayed with them all.
20:37	Then they wept all abundantly, and fell on Pauls necke, and kissed him,
20:38	Being chiefly sorie for the words which he spake, That they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him vnto the shippe.


20:1	After the rage was ceased Paul called the disciples vnto him and toke his leave of them and departed for to goo into Macedonia.
20:2	And when he had gone over those parties and geven them large exhortacions he came into Grece
20:3	and there abode .iii. monethes. And when the Iewes layde wayte for him as he was about to sayle into Syria he purposed to returne thorowe Macedonia.
20:4	Ther acompanied him into Asia Sopater of Berrea and of Thessalonia Aristarcus and Secundus and Gayus of Derba and Timotheus: and out of Asia Tychicus and Trophimos.
20:5	These went before and taryed vs at Troas.
20:6	And we sayled awaye fro Philippos after the ester holydayes and came vnto them to Troas in five dayes where we abode seven dayes.
20:7	And on the morowe after the saboth daye the disciples came to geder for to breake breed and Paul preached vnto them (redy to departe on the morowe) and cotinued the preachynge vnto mydnyght.
20:8	And there were many lyghtes in the chamber where thy were gaddered to geder
20:9	and there sate in a wyndowe a certayne yonge man named Eutichos fallen into a depe slepe. And as Paul declared he was the moare overcome with slepe and fell doune from the thyrde lofte and was taken vp deed.
20:10	Paul went doune and fell on him and embrased him and sayde: make nothinge ado for his lyfe is in him.
20:11	When he was come vp agayne he brake breed and tasted and comened a longe whyle even tyll the mornynge and so departed.
20:12	And they brought the youge man a lyve and were not alytell comforted.
20:13	And we went a fore to shippe and lowsed vnto Asson there to receave Paul. For so had he apoynted and wolde him selfe goo a fote.
20:14	When he was come to vs vnto Asson we toke him in and came to Mytelenes.
20:15	And we sayled thence and came the nexte daye over agaynst Chios. And the nexte daye we aryved at Samos and taryed at Trogilion. The nexte daye we came to Myleton:
20:16	for Paul had determined to leave Ephesus as they sayled because he wolde not spende ye tyme in Asia. For he hasted to be (yf he coulde possible) at Ierusalem at the daye of pentecoste.
20:17	Wherfore from Myleton he sent to Ephesus and called the elders of the cogregacion.
20:18	And when they were come to him he sayde vnto the: Ye knowe fro the fyrst daye yt I came vnto Asia after what maner I have bene wt you at all ceasons
20:19	servynge the lorde with all humblenes of mynde and with many teares and temptacions which happened vnto me by the layinges awayte of the Ieues
20:20	and how I kept backe no thinge that was profitable: but that I have shewed you and taught you openly and at home in youre houses
20:21	witnessinge bothe to the Iewes and also to the Grekes the repentaunce toward God and faith towarde oure Lorde Iesu.
20:22	And now beholde I goo bounde in the sprete vnto Ierusalem and knowe not what shall come on me there
20:23	but that the holy goost witnesseth in every cite sayinge: yt bondes and trouble abyde me.
20:24	But none of tho thinges move me: nether is my lyfe dere vnto my selfe that I myght fulfill my course wt ioye and the ministracio which I have receaved of ye Lorde Iesu to testify the gospell of ye grace of god.
20:25	And now beholde I am sure yt hence forth ye all (thorow who I have gone preachinge ye kyngdome of God) shall se my face no moore.
20:26	Wherfore I take you to recorde this same daye that I am pure fro the bloude of all me.
20:27	For I have kepte nothinge backe: but have shewed you all the counsell of God.
20:28	Take hede therfore vnto youre selves and to all the flocke wherof the holy goost hath made you oversears to rule the congregacion of God which he hath purchased with his bloud.
20:29	For I am sure of this that after my departynge shall greveous wolves entre in amonge you which will not spare the flocke.
20:30	Moreover of youre awne selves shall men aryse speakinge perverse thinges to drawe disciples after the.
20:31	Therfore awake and remember that by the space of .iii. yeares I ceased not to warne every one of you both nyght and daye with teares.
20:32	And now brethren I comende you to God and to the worde of his grace which is able to bylde further and to geve you an inheritaunce amoge all them which are sanctified.
20:33	I have desyred no mas silver golde or vesture.
20:34	Ye knowe well yt these hondes have ministred vnto my necessities and to them that were wt me.
20:35	I have shewed you all thinges how that so laborynge ye ought to receave the weake and to remember the wordes of the Lorde Iesu howe that he sayde: It is more blessed to geve then to receave.
20:36	When he had thus spoken he kneled doune and prayed with them all.
20:37	And they wept all aboundantly and fell on Pauls necke and kissed him
20:38	sorowinge most of all for the wordes which he spake that they shuld se his face no moore. And they acompanyed him vnto the shyppe.
