* After the uproar had ceased , Paul sent for the disciples and , after embracing them , bade them farewell , and started for Macedonia . * And when he had passed through those districts and encouraged the disciples in many addresses , he came into Greece where he spent three months . * Just as he was about to set sail for Syria , the Jews laid a plot against him , and he determined to return through Macedonia . * There accompanied him as far as Asia , Sopater of Berea , the son of Pyrrhus ; and of the Thessalonians , Aristarchus and Secundus ; and Gaius of Derbe , and Timothy ; and the Asians , Tychicus and Trophimus . * Now these had gone on , and were awaiting us at Troas ; * but we ourselves set sail from Philippi , after the days of unleavened bread , and joined them five days later at Troas . There we remained for a week . * On the first day of the week we met for the breaking of bread , and Paul , who was going away the next morning , began preaching to them , and prolonged his discourse until midnight . * Now there were many lamps in the upper room where we were assembled , * and a young man named Eutychus was sitting in a window , overborne by deep sleep , while Paul continued to preach at length . Overcome at last by sleep , he fell down from the third story , and was taken up dead . * Then Paul went down , threw himself upon him , and embracing him , said . "Do not lament ; his life is still in him ." * Then he went upstairs again , broke bread and took some food , and after talking with them a long time , even until daybreak , he left them . * They had taken the lad home alive , and were not a little comforted . * The rest of us going before to the ship , set sail for Assos , intending to take Paul on board there ; for so he had appointed , because he intended to go by land . * And when he met us at Assos , we took him in , and came to Mitylene . * We sailed from thence , and arrived next day off Chios ; and the day after we touched at Samos ; and the following day we came to Mitylene . * For Paul had determined to sail past Ephesus , so as not to spend time in Asia , for he was hurrying to get to Jerusalem , if it were possible , by the day of Pentecost .
