20:1	After the rage was ceased: Paule called the disciples vnto him, & toke his leaue of them, & departed for to go into Macedonia.
20:2	And when he had gone ouer those partyes, and geuen them large exhortacyons he came into Grece,
20:3	and there abode thre monethes. And when the Iewes layde wayte for him as he was about to sail into Syria, he purposed to returne thorough Macedonia.
20:4	There accompanyed hym into Asia, Sopater of Berrea, and of Thessalonia Aristarcus and Secundus, & Gaius of Derba, and Timotheus, and out of Asia, Tichycus and Trophimos.
20:5	These wente before, & taryed vs at Troas.
20:6	And we sayled awaye from Philippus after the easter holy daies, and came vnto them do Troas in .v. dayes where we abode seuen dayes.
20:7	And on the morowe after the saboth day the disciples came together for to breake bread and Paule preached vnto them (readye to departe on the morowe) and contynued the preachynge vnto midnyght.
20:8	And there were manye lyghtes in the chamber where they were gathered together,
20:9	and there sate in a wyndowe a certayne yonge man named Eutichos, fallen into a depe slepe. And as Paule declared, he was the more ouercome with slepe, and fell doune from the thyrde lofte, and was taken vp dead.
20:10	Paule wente doune and fell on hym, and embrased hym, and sayed: make nothynge a do, for hys lyfe is in hym.
20:11	When he was come vp again, he brake bread and tasted, and commened a longe whyle euen tyll the mornynge, and so departed.
20:12	And they brought the yonge man alyue, and were not a lytle comforted.
20:13	And we went afore to shyppe, and loused vnto Asson there to receyue Paule. For so had he appoynted and woulde hym self go afore.
20:14	When he was come to vs to Assone, we toke hym in and came to Mitelenes.
20:15	And we sailed thence, and came the next daye ouer agaynste Chios. And the next daye we aryued at Samos, and taryed at Trogilio. The nexte daye we came to Mileton,
20:16	for Paule had determyned to leaue Ephesus as they sayled, because he woulde not spende the 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 congregacyon.
20:18	And when they were come to hym, he sayde vnto them. Ye knowe from the fyrste daye that I came into Asia, after what maner I haue ben with you at al ceasons
20:19	seruynge the Lorde with all humblenes of mynde, and with many teares, and temptacyons whiche happened to me by the laiynges awayte of the Iewes,
20:20	and howe I kept backe nothyng that was profytable, but that I haue shewed you, and taughte you openlye, and at home in your houses,
20:21	wytnessyng both to the Iewes, and also to the Grekes, the repentaunce towarde God and fayth towarde oure Lorde Iesus.
20:22	And now beholde I go bounde in the spyryte vnto Ierusalem, and knowe not what shal come on me there,
20:23	but that the holy ghost wytnesseth in euerye citie, saiynge: that bondes and trouble abyde me.
20:24	But none of these thinges moue me: neyther is my lyfe dere vnto my selfe: that I myght fulfyl my course with ioye, and the ministracyon whiche I haue receyued of the Lord Iesus, to testifye the gospell of the grace of God.
20:25	And now beholde, I am sure that henceforth ye al (through whom I haue gone preachyng the kingdom of God) shal se my face no more.
20:26	Wherfore I take you to recorde this same daye that I am pure from the bloud of all men.
20:27	For I haue kept nothynge backe, but haue shewed you all the counsell of God.
20:28	Take hede therfore vnto youre selues, and to all the flocke wherof the holy ghoste hath made you ouersears, to rule the congregacyon of God, which he hath purchased wt hys bloude.
20:29	For I am sure of this, that after my departing shall greuous wolues enter in amonge you, which wyll not spare the flocke.
20:30	Moreouer of your own selues shal men aryse speakyng peruerse thinges to draw disciples after them.
20:31	Therfore awake & remember, that by the space of .iij. yeares I ceased not to warne euerye one of you both night and daye with teares.
20:32	And nowe brethren I commende you to God, and to the worde of hys grace, which is able to buylde further, and to geue you an inheritaunce amonge all them which are sanctifyed
20:33	I haue desyred no mans syluer, golde or vesture.
20:34	Ye knowe well that these handes haue ministred vnto my necessities, & to them that were with me,
20:35	I haue shewed you all thinges, how that so laborynge ye ought to receyue the weake & to remember the wordes of the lorde Iesu, how that he sayde: it is more blessed to geue then to receyue.
20:36	When he had thus spoken, he kneled doune & prayed with them all.
20:37	And they wept al aboundauntly, and fell on Paules necke, & kyssed him
20:38	sorowynge moste of all for the wordes which he spake, that they should se hys face no more. And they accompanied hym vnto the shyppe.


20:1	After that the rage was ceased, Paul called the dyscyples vnto hym, and toke hys leaue of them, and departed for to go into Macedonia.
20:2	And when he had gone ouer those partyes, and had geuen them a longe exhortacyon, he cam into Grece
20:3	& there abode .iij. monethes. And when the Iewes layde wayt for him as he was about to sayle into Syria, he purposed to returne thorow Macedonia.
20:4	Ther accompanied him into Asia, Sopater of Berrea, and of Thessalonia, Aristarcus and Secundus, and Gayus of Derba, & Timotheus, & out of Asia Tychicus and Trophimus.
20:5	These goynge before, taryed vs at Troas.
20:6	And we sayled awaye from Philippos after the dayes of swete bread, and cam vnto them to Troas in fyue dayes, where we abode seuen dayes.
20:7	And vpon one of the Saboth dayes, whan the disciples came together for to breake breed Paul preached vnto them (ready to departe on the morowe) & continued the preaching vnto mydnyght.
20:8	And there were many lyghtes in the chamber, where we were gathered together,
20:9	& ther sate in a wyndowe a certayne yonge man (named Euticus) beinge fallen into a depe sleepe. And as Paul was preachinge, he was the more ouercome with slepe, and fell downe from the thyrde lofte, & was taken vp deed.
20:10	But whan Paul went doune, he fell on him & embrased him and sayde: make nothynge a do, for his lyfe is in hym.
20:11	So when he was come vp agayne, & had broken the bread & eaten, and talcked a longe whyle (euen tyll the mornyng) at the last he departed.
20:12	And they brought the yonge man alyue, & were not a lytell conforted.
20:13	And we went afore to shyppe, & lowsed vnto Asson there to receaue Paul. For so had he appoynted, and wolde hym selfe goo a fote.
20:14	When we were come together at Asson, we toke him in, & came to Mytilenes.
20:15	And we sayled thence, and cam the nexte daye ouer agaynst Chios. And the nexte daye we ariued at Samos, & taried at Trogylon. The nexte daye we came to Myleton:
20:16	for Paul had determined to sayle ouer by Ephesus, because he wolde not spende the tyme in Asia. For he hasted (yf it were possible for him) to kepe at Ierusalem the daye of Pentecoste.
20:17	And from Myleton he sent messaungers to Ephesus, & called the elders of the congregacion.
20:18	Which when they were come to him, he layd vnto them: Ye knowe from the fyrst daye that I cam into Asia, after what maner I haue bene wt you at all ceasons,
20:19	seruynge the Lorde with all humblenes of mynde, and with many teares & temptacions which happened vnto me by the layinges awayte of the Iewes,
20:20	because I wolde kepe backe nothynge that was profitable vnto you: but to shewe you and teache you openly, & thorowe out euery house,
20:21	witnessynge both to the Iewes, & also to the Grekes, the repentaunce, that is toward God, & the fayth which is toward oure Lorde Iesus.
20:22	And now beholde I go bounde in the sprete vnto Ierusalem, not knowing the thinges that shal come on me there,
20:23	but the the holy goost witnesseth in euery cytie, saying. that bandes and trouble abyde me.
20:24	But none of these thinges moue me nether is my lyfe deare vnto my selfe, that I might fulfyll my course with ioye, and the ministracyon which I haue receaued of the Lorde Iesu, to testifye the Gospell of the grace of God.
20:25	And now beholde, I am sure, that henceforth ye all (thorow whom I haue gone preachynge the kyngdom of God) shall se my face no more.
20:26	Wherfore, I take you to recorde this daye that I am pure from the bloude of all men.
20:27	For I haue spared no laboure, but haue shewed you all the counsell of God.
20:28	Take hede therfore vnto youre selues & to all the flocke amonge whom the holy ghost hath made you ouersears, to rule the congregacyon of God which he hath purchased with his bloude.
20:29	For I am sure of thys, that after my departynge shall greueous wolues entre in amonge you, not sparyng the flocke.
20:30	Moreouer, of youre awne selues shall men arise, speaking peruerse thinges to drawe disciples after them.
20:31	Therfore awake, & remember, that by the space of .iij. yeres: I ceased not to warne euery one of you nyght and daye with teares.
20:32	And now brethren, I commende you to God and to the worde of his grace, which is able to build farther, & to geue you an inheritaunce amonge all them which are sanctifyed
20:33	I haue desyred no mans syluer, golde, or vesture.
20:34	Yee, ye your selues knowe that these handes haue ministred vnto my necessyties, & to them that were with me.
20:35	I haue shewed you all thinges, how that so laboring ye ought to receaue the weake, & to remember the wordes of the Lorde Iesu, how that he sayd: it is more blessed to geue then to receaue.
20:36	And when he had thus spoken, he kneled downe and prayed with them all.
20:37	And they all wepte sore and fell on Pauls necke, and kyssed hym,
20:38	sorowynge, most of all for the wordes which he spake, that they shulde se hys face nomore. And they conuayed hym vnto the shyppe.


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.
