wmth - Acts:20:1-16

wmth@Acts:20:1 @ When the uproar had ceased, Paul sent for the disciples; and, after speaking words of encouragement to them, he took his leave, and started for Macedonia.

wmth@Acts:20:2 @ Passing through those districts he encouraged the disciples in frequent addresses, and then came into Greece, and spent three months there.

wmth@Acts:20:3 @ The Jews having planned to waylay him whenever he might be on the point of taking ship for Syria, he decided to travel back by way of Macedonia.

wmth@Acts:20:4 @ He was accompanied as far as the province of Asia by Sopater the Beroean, the son of Pyrrhus; by the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; by Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and by the Asians, Tychicus and Trophimus.

wmth@Acts:20:5 @ These brethren had gone on and were waiting for us in the Troad.

wmth@Acts:20:6 @ But we ourselves sailed from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and five days later joined them in the Troad, where we remained for a week.

wmth@Acts:20:7 @ On the first day of the week, when we had met to break bread, Paul, who was going away the next morning, was preaching to them, and prolonged his discourse till midnight.

wmth@Acts:20:8 @ Now there were a good many lamps in the room upstairs where we all were,

wmth@Acts:20:9 @ and a youth of the name of Eutychus was sitting at the window. This lad, gradually sinking into deep sleep while Paul preached at unusual length, overcome at last by sleep, fell from the second floor and was taken up dead.

wmth@Acts:20:10 @ Paul, however, went down, threw himself upon him, and folding him in his arms said, »Do not be alarmed; his life is still in him.«

wmth@Acts:20:11 @ Then he went upstairs again, broke bread, and took some food; and after a long conversation which was continued till daybreak, at last he parted from them.

wmth@Acts:20:12 @ They had taken the lad home alive, and were greatly comforted.

wmth@Acts:20:13 @ The rest of us had already gone on board a ship, and now we set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul on board there; for so he had arranged, he himself intending to go by land.

wmth@Acts:20:14 @ Accordingly, when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and came to Mitylene.

wmth@Acts:20:15 @ Sailing from there, we arrived the next day off Chios. On the next we touched at Samos; and on the day following reached Miletus.

wmth@Acts:20:16 @ For Paul's plan was to sail past Ephesus, so as not to spend much time in the province of Asia; since he was very desirous of being in Jerusalem, if possible, on the day of the Harvest Festival.
