Acts - Chapter: 20


20:1	And after the ceasing of the tumult, Paul having called near the disciples, and having embraced `them', went forth to go on to Macedonia;
20:2	and having gone through those parts, and having exhorted them with many words, he came to Greece;
20:3	having made also three months' `stay' -- a counsel of the Jews having been against him -- being about to set forth to Syria, there came `to him' a resolution of returning through Macedonia.
20:4	And there were accompanying him unto Asia, Sopater of Berea, and of Thessalonians Aristarchus and Secundus, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus, and of Asiatics Tychicus and Trophimus;
20:5	these, having gone before, did remain for us in Troas,
20:6	and we sailed, after the days of the unleavened food, from Philippi, and came unto them to Troas in five days, where we abode seven days.
20:7	And on the first of the week, the disciples having been gathered together to break bread, Paul was discoursing to them, about to depart on the morrow, he was also continuing the discourse till midnight,
20:8	and there were many lamps in the upper chamber where they were gathered together,
20:9	and there was sitting a certain youth, by name Eutychus, upon the window -- being borne down by a deep sleep, Paul discoursing long -- he having sunk down from the sleep, fell down from the third story, and was lifted up dead.
20:10	And Paul, having gone down, fell upon him, and having embraced `him', said, `Make no tumult, for his life is in him;'
20:11	and having come up, and having broken bread, and having tasted, for a long time also having talked -- till daylight, so he went forth,
20:12	and they brought up the lad alive, and were comforted in no ordinary measure.
20:13	And we having gone before unto the ship, did sail to Assos, thence intending to take in Paul, for so he had arranged, intending himself to go on foot;
20:14	and when he met with us at Assos, having taken him up, we came to Mitylene,
20:15	and thence having sailed, on the morrow we came over-against Chios, and the next day we arrived at Samos, and having remained in Trogyllium, on the following day we came to Miletus,
20:16	for Paul decided to sail past Ephesus, that there may not be to him a loss of time in Asia, for he hasted, if it were possible for him, on the day of the Pentecost to be at Jerusalem.
20:17	And from Miletus, having sent to Ephesus, he called for the elders of the assembly,
20:18	and when they were come unto him, he said to them, `Ye -- ye know from the first day in which I came to Asia, how, with you at all times I was;
20:19	serving the Lord with all humility, and many tears, and temptations, that befell me in the counsels of the Jews against `me';
20:20	how nothing I did keep back of what things are profitable, not to declare to you, and to teach you publicly, and in every house,
20:21	testifying fully both to Jews and Greeks, toward God reformation, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
20:22	`And now, lo, I -- bound in the Spirit -- go on to Jerusalem, the things that shall befall me in it not knowing,
20:23	save that the Holy Spirit in every city doth testify fully, saying, that for me bonds and tribulations remain;
20:24	but I make account of none of these, neither do I count my life precious to myself, so that I finish my course with joy, and the ministration that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify fully the good news of the grace of God.
20:25	`And now, lo, I have known that no more shall ye see my face, -- ye all among whom I did go preaching the reign of God;
20:26	wherefore I take you to witness this day, that I `am' clear from the blood of all,
20:27	for I did not keep back from declaring to you all the counsel of God.
20:28	`Take heed, therefore, to yourselves, and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit made you overseers, to feed the assembly of God that He acquired through His own blood,
20:29	for I have known this, that there shall enter in, after my departing, grievous wolves unto you, not sparing the flock,
20:30	and of your own selves there shall arise men, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.
20:31	`Therefore, watch, remembering that three years, night and day, I did not cease with tears warning each one;
20:32	and now, I commend you, brethren, to God, and to the word of His grace, that is able to build up, and to give you an inheritance among all those sanctified.
20:33	`The silver or gold or garments of no one did I covet;
20:34	and ye yourselves know that to my necessities, and to those who were with me, minister did these hands;
20:35	all things I did shew you, that, thus labouring, it behoveth `us' to partake with the ailing, to be mindful also of the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.'
20:36	And these things having said, having bowed his knees, with them all, he did pray,
20:37	and there came a great weeping to all, and having fallen upon the neck of Paul, they were kissing him,
20:38	sorrowing most of all for the word that he had said -- that they are about no more to see his face; and they were accompanying him to the ship.


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.


20:1	Now whan the vproure was ceassed, Paul called the disciples vnto him, and toke his leue of them, and departed to go in to Macedonia.
20:2	And whan he had gone thorow those partes, and exhorted them with many wordes, he came into Grekelonde,
20:3	and there abode thre monethes. But whan the Iewes layed wayte for him, as he was aboute to sayle in to Syria, he purposed to turne agayne thorow Macedonia.
20:4	There accompanied him in to Asia, Sopater of Berrea: and of Thessalonica, Aristarchus and Secundus: and Gaius of Derba, and Timotheus: but of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.
20:5	These wente before, and taried for vs at Troada:
20:6	but we sayled after the Easter dayes from Philippos, vnto ye fyfth daye, and came to them vnto Troada, and taried there seuen dayes.
20:7	Vpon one of the Sabbathes, whan the disciples came together to breake bred, Paul preached vnto them, wyllinge to departe on the morow, and contynued the preachinge vnto mydnight.
20:8	And there were many lightes in the chamber, where they were gathered together.
20:9	There sat a yonge man named Eutychos, in a wyndow, and fell in to a depe slepe (whyle Paul was speakinge) and was ouercome with slepe, and fell downe from the thirde lofte, and was taken vp deed.
20:10	But Paul wente downe, and fell on him, and enbraced him, and sayde: Make nothinge a doo, for his soule is in hi.
20:11	Then wente he vp, and brake the bred, and ate, and talked moch with the, tyll the daye brake, and so departed.
20:12	As for the yoge man, they broughte him alyue, and were not a litle conforted.
20:13	But we wente afore in to the shippe, and sayled towarde Asson, wyllinge there to receaue Paul. For so had he appoynted, and wolde himselfe go on fote.
20:14	Whan he was come to vs vnto Asson, we toke him in, and came to Mitylenes,
20:15	and sayled from thence, and came on the nexte daye ouer agaynst Chios, and on the daye folowinge we aryued at Samos, and taried at Tragilion, and on the nexte daye came we to Mileton:
20:16	for Paul had determed to sayle ouer by Ephesus, that he nede not to spende the tyme in Asia: for he haisted to be at Ierusalem vpo the Whitsondaye, yf it were possible for him.
20:17	But from Mileton he sent vnto Ephesus, and called for the Elders of the congregacion.
20:18	Whan they were come to him, he sayde vnto them: Ye knowe sence the first daye that I came in to Asia, after what maner I haue bene with you at all tyme,
20:19	and serued ye LORDE with all humblenesse of mynde, and with many teares and tentacions, which happened vnto me by ye layenges of wayte of the Iewes,
20:20	how yt I haue kepte backe nothinge yt was profitable, but that I haue shewed you, and taughte you openly, and priuately from house to house.
20:21	And haue testifyed both vnto the Iewes & to the Grekes the repentaunce towarde God, and faith towarde oure LORDE Iesus.
20:22	And now beholde, I go bounde in ye sprete vnto Ierusale, not knowinge what shal happen there vnto me,
20:23	but yt the holy goost witnesseth in euery cite, and sayeth, that bondes and troubles abyde me there.
20:24	But I regarde none of them, nether counte I my life dearer then my selfe, that I maye fulfyll my course with ioye, and the office yt I haue receaued of the LORDE Iesu, to testifye the Gospell of the grace of God.
20:25	And now beholde, I knowe that ye shal se my face nomore, all ye, thorow whom I haue gone, and preached the kyngdome of God.
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 kepte nothinge backe, but haue shewed you all the councell off God.
20:28	Take hede therfore vnto youre selues, and to all the flocke, amonge the which the holy goost hath set you to be Bishoppes, to fede the congregacion of God, which he hath purchaced thorow his owne bloude.
20:29	For this I knowe, that after my departinge there shal enter in amonge you greuous wolues, which shal not spare the flocke.
20:30	Yee eue from amonge youre awne selues shal men aryse, speakynge peruerse doctryne, to drawe disciples after them.
20:31	Therfore awake, and remembre, that by the space of thre yeares I ceassed not to warne euery one off you both nighte and daye with teares.
20:32	And now brethren I commende you vnto God, and to ye worde of his grace, which is mightie to edifye you, and to geue you the enheritaunce amoge all them that are sanctified.
20:33	I haue not desyred syluer, golde or rayment off eny off you.
20:34	For ye youre selues knowe, that these handes haue mynistred vnto my necessities, and them that were with me.
20:35	I haue shewed you all thinges, how that so labouringe ye oughte to receaue the weake, and to remembre the worde of the LORDE, how that he sayde: It is more blessed to geue, then to receaue.
20:36	And whan he had sayde this, he kneled downe, and prayed with them all.
20:37	But there was moch wepynge amonge them all, and they fell aboute Pauls necke, and kyssed him,
20:38	and were sory, most of all because of the worde which he had sayde, that they shulde se his face nomore. And they accopanied him vnto the shippe.
