* WHEN the uproar had ceased , Paul sent for the disciples , and , after encouraging them , he bade them farewell and left to proceed to Macedonia . * Passing through those parts and encouraging them by many addresses , he came into Greece . * There he spent three months . When a plot was formed against him by the Jews as he was about to sail for Syria , he decided to return through Macedonia . * There were in company with him Sopater of Beraea , the son of Pyrrhus , and of the Thessalonians Aristarchus and Secundus , and Gaius of Derbe and Timothy , and from Asia Tychicus and Trophimus . * These went on and were waiting for us in Troas . * After the Days of Unleavened Bread we sailed from Philippi and came to them in Troas in five days . There we spent seven days . * On the first day of the week , when we all were assembled to break bread , Paul was discoursing to them , being about to leave in the morning , and he extended his address until midnight . * There were many lamps in the upper room where we were assembled . * A certain young man named Eutychus , sitting in a window , was overcome with deep sleep while Paul went on discoursing . At last overpowered by sleep he fell from the third story and was taken up dead . * But Paul went down and threw himself on him and embraced him and said , "Do not make a noisy wailing ; for his life is still in him ." * Then he went up and broke bread and ate and talked on till daybreak and so departed . * They brought the boy living , and were not a little comforted . * We went in advance to the ship and sailed for Assos , intending to take on Paul there , for so he had arranged , intending to come himself by land . * So when he joined us at Assos , we took him aboard and came to Mitylene . * From there we sailed next day and arrived off Chios . The next day we came to Samos , and on the following day to Miletus . * For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus in order not to spend time in Asia . He was hurrying to be in Jerusalem , if possible , on the Day of Pentecost .
