1 After the uproar ceased, Paul sent for the disciples, and after encouraging them, he said farewell andqSee ch. 19:21 departed for Macedonia. 2 When he had gone through those regions and had given them much encouragement, he came to Greece. 3 There he spent three months, and whenrver. 19; [ch. 13:50]; See ch. 9:24 a plot was made against him by the Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he decided to return through Macedonia. 4 Sopater of Berea, the son of Pyrrhus from Berea, accompanied him; and of the Thessalonians,sch. 14:6, 21; See ch. 19:29 Aristarchus and Secundus; andsch. 14:6, 21; See ch. 19:29 Gaius of Derbe, andtSee ch. 16:1 Timothy; and the Asians,uEph. 6:21; Col. 4:7; 2 Tim. 4:12; Titus 3:12 Tychicus andvch. 21:29; 2 Tim. 4:20 Trophimus. 5 These went on ahead and were waiting forwver. 6-8, 13-15 us atxch. 16:8-11 Troas, 6 but we sailed away from Philippi afterych. 12:3; Ex. 12:14, 15; 23:15 the days of Unleavened Bread, and in five days we came to them at Troas, where we stayed for seven days.
7 z1 Cor. 16:2; [Mark 16:9; John 20:19; Rev. 1:10] On the first day of the week, when we were gathered togetheraver. 11; 1 Cor. 10:16; 11:23, 24; See ch. 2:42 to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day, and he prolonged his speech until midnight. 8 There were many lamps inbch. 1:13; 9:37, 39 the upper room where we were gathered. 9 And a young man named Eutychus, sitting at the window, sank into a deep sleep as Paul talked still longer. And being overcome by sleep, hec2 Kgs. 1:2 fell down from the third story and was taken up dead. 10 But Paul went down andd[1 Kgs. 17:21; 2 Kgs. 4:34] bent over him, and taking him in his arms, said,e[Matt. 9:23, 24; Mark 5:39] “Do not be alarmed, for his life is in him. ” 11 And when Paul had gone up andfver. 7 had broken bread and eaten, he conversed with them a long while, until daybreak, and so departed. 12 And they took the youth away alive, and were not a little comforted.
13 But going ahead to the ship, we set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul aboard there, for so he had arranged, intending himself to go by land. 14 And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and went to Mitylene. 15 And sailing from there we came the following day opposite Chios; the next day we touched at Samos; and the day after that we went to Miletus. 16 For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus, so that he might not have to spend time in Asia, for he was hasteninggver. 22; ch. 24:11; [ver. 6; ch. 19:21; 1 Cor. 16:8] to be at Jerusalem, if possible,hch. 2:1 on the day of Pentecost.
17 Now from Miletus he sent to Ephesus and callediSee ch. 11:30 the elders of the church to come to him. 18 And when they came to him, he said to them:j1 Thess. 1:5; [ver. 31, 34] “You yourselves knowkch. 18:19; 19:1, 10 how I lived among you the whole timej1 Thess. 1:5; [ver. 31, 34] from the first day that I set foot in Asia, 19 l[Rom. 12:11; Col. 3:24] serving the Lordm[1 Thess. 2:6, 7]; See Eph. 4:2 with all humility and withn[ver. 31; 2 Cor. 2:4; Phil. 3:18] tears and with trials that happened to me throughoSee ver. 3 the plots of the Jews; 20 how Ipver. 27 did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, andq[ver. 31] teaching you in public and from house to house, 21 rver. 24; ch. 18:5 testifying both to Jews and to Greeks ofsMark 1:15; Heb. 6:1; See ch. 2:38 repentance toward God and oft[Eph. 1:15; Col. 1:4; 1 Tim. 3:13] faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. 22 And now, behold, I am going to Jerusalem, constrainedu[ch. 17:16] by1Or bound in the Spirit, not knowing what will happen to me there, 23 except thatv[ch. 21:4, 11]; See ch. 8:29; 9:16 the Holy Spirit testifies to me in every city thatwch. 21:33 imprisonment andxch. 14:22; 1 Thess. 3:3 afflictions await me. 24 ButySee ch. 21:13 I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if onlyz2 Tim. 4:7 I may finish my course andach. 1:17; 1 Tim. 1:12 the ministrybGal. 1:1; 1 Thess. 2:4; [ch. 26:16; Titus 1:3] that I received from the Lord Jesus,cver. 21 to testify todch. 15:7 the gospel ofe[ver. 32; 1 Tim. 1:14]; See ch. 11:23 the grace of God. 25 And now, behold,f[Phil. 1:25] I know that none of you among whom I have gone aboutgSee ch. 28:31 proclaiming the kingdom will see my face again. 26 ThereforehDeut. 8:19 I testify to you this day thatiSee ch. 18:6 I am innocent of the blood of all of you, 27 forjver. 20; [Jer. 26:2; Ezek. 33:8] I did not shrink from declaring to youkch. 13:36; Luke 7:30; [ch. 2:23; Eph. 1:11; Heb. 6:17] the whole counsel of God. 28 l[1 Tim. 4:16] Pay careful attention to yourselves and to allmver. 29; [Eph. 4:11]; See Luke 12:32 the flock, in whichn[ch. 13:2; 1 Cor. 12:8-11] the Holy Spirit has made youoPhil. 1:1; 1 Tim. 3:2; Titus 1:7; [ver. 17] overseers,pSee John 21:16 to care forq1 Cor. 1:2; 10:32; 11:16; 15:9 the church of God, which her[2 Pet. 2:1] obtainedsHeb. 9:12, 14; [Eph. 1:7; 1 John 1:7]; See 1 Pet. 1:18, 19; Rev. 5:9 with his own blood.2Or with the blood of his Own 29 Ir[See ver. 28 above] know that after my departuretSee Matt. 7:15 fierce wolves will come in among you,uJohn 10:12; [Col. 2:8] not sparing the flock; 30 andv[1 Cor. 11:19; 2 Cor. 11:13; 1 Tim. 1:19, 20; 1 John 2:18, 19] from among your own selves will arise men speaking twisted things, to draw away the disciples after them. 31 Thereforew[Heb. 13:17]; See Matt. 24:42 be alert, remembering thatx[ch. 19:8, 10; 24:17] for three years I did not cease night or dayyCol. 1:28 to admonish everyonez[Heb. 13:17]; See ver. 19 with tears. 32 And nowach. 14:23 I commend you to God and tobch. 14:3; [ver. 24] the word of his grace, which is able tocSee Col. 2:7 build you up and to give youdch. 26:18; Eph. 1:14, 18; 5:5; Col. 1:12; 3:24; Heb. 9:15; [1 Pet. 1:4]; See Matt. 25:34; Rom. 8:17 the inheritance among all those who are sanctified. 33 e1 Cor. 9:12; 2 Cor. 7:2; 11:9; 12:17; [1 Sam. 12:3; Matt. 10:8; 1 Thess. 2:5] I coveted no one's silver or gold or apparel. 34 f[ver. 18] You yourselves know thatgSee ch. 18:3 these hands ministered to my necessities andhch. 19:22, 29 to those who were with me. 35 In all thingsi2 Thess. 3:7 I have shown you thatjEph. 4:28 by working hard in this way we mustk1 Thess. 5:14; [1 Cor. 12:28] help the weak andlch. 11:16 remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessedmMatt. 10:8 to give than to receive. ’ ”
36 And when he had said these things,nSee ch. 7:60 he knelt down and prayed with them all. 37 Ando[2 Tim. 1:4] there was much weeping on the part of all;pSee Luke 15:20 they embraced Paul andpSee Luke 15:20 kissed him, 38 being sorrowful most of all because ofqver. 25 the word he had spoken, that they would not see his face again. AndrSee ch. 15:3 they accompanied him to the ship.
