* And after the uproar was ceased (5670 ), Paul called (5666 ) unto him the disciples , and embraced (5666 ) them , and departed (5627 ) for to go (5677 ) into Macedonia . * And when he had gone over (5631 ) those parts , and had given them much exhortation (5660 ), he came (5627 ) into Greece , * And there abode (5660 ) three months . And when the Jews laid (5637 ) wait for him , as he was about (5723 ) to sail (5745 ) into Syria , he purposed (5633 ) to return (5721 ) through Macedonia . * And there accompanied (5711 ) him into Asia Sopater of Berea ; and of the Thessalonians , Aristarchus and Secundus ; and Gaius of Derbe , and Timotheus ; and of Asia , Tychicus and Trophimus . * These going before (531 ) tarried (5707 ) for us at Troas . * And we sailed away (5656 ) from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread , and came (5627 ) unto them to Troas in five days ; where we abode (5656 ) seven days . * And upon the first day of the week , when the disciples came together (5772 ) to break (5658 ) bread , Paul preached (5711 ) unto them , ready (5723 ) to depart (5750 ) on the morrow ; and continued (5707 ) his speech until midnight . * And there were (5713 ) many lights in the upper chamber , where they were (5713 ) gathered together (5772 ). * And there sat (5740 ) in a window a certain young man named Eutychus , being fallen (5746 ) into a deep sleep : and as Paul was long preaching (5740 ), he sunk down (5685 ) with sleep , and fell down (5627 ) from the third loft , and was taken up (5681 ) dead . * And Paul went down (5631 ), and fell on (5627 ) him , and embracing (5631 ) him said (5627 ), Trouble not yourselves (5744 ); for his life is (5748 ) in him . * When he therefore was come up again (5631 ), and had broken (5660 ) bread , and eaten (5666 ), and talked (5660 ) a long while , even till break of day , so he departed (5627 ). * And they brought (5627 ) the young man alive (5723 ), and were not a little comforted (5681 ). * And we went before (5631 ) to ship , and sailed (5681 ) unto Assos , there intending (5723 ) to take in (5721 ) Paul : for so had he (5713 ) appointed (5772 ), minding (5723 ) himself to go afoot (5721 ). * And when he met (5627 ) with us at Assos , we took him in (5631 ), and came (5627 ) to Mitylene . * And we sailed (5660 ) thence , and came (5656 ) the next (5752 ) day over against Chios ; and the next day we arrived (5627 ) at Samos , and tarried (5660 ) at Trogyllium ; and the next (5746 ) day we came (5627 ) to Miletus . * For Paul had determined (5656 ) to sail by (5658 ) Ephesus , because he would (5638 ) not spend the time (5658 ) in Asia : for he hasted (5707 ), if it were (5713 ) possible for him , to be (5635 ) at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost . * And from Miletus he sent (5660 ) to Ephesus , and called (5668 ) the elders of the church . * And when they were come (5633 ) to him , he said (5627 ) unto them , Ye know (5736 ), from the first day that I came (5627 ) into Asia , after what manner I have been (5633 ) with you at all seasons , * Serving (5723 ) the Lord with all humility of mind , and with many tears , and temptations , which befell (5631 ) me by the lying in wait of the Jews : * And how I kept back (5668 ) nothing that was profitable (5723 ) unto you , but have shewed (5658 ) you , and have taught (5658 ) you publickly , and from house to house , * Testifying (5740 ) both to the Jews , and also to the Greeks , repentance toward God , and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ . * And now , behold (5628 ), I go (5736 ) bound (5772 ) in the spirit unto Jerusalem , not knowing (5761 ) the things that shall befall (5694 ) me there : * Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth (5736 ) in every city , saying (5723 ) that bonds and afflictions abide (5719 ) me . * But none of these things move me (5731 ), neither count I (5719 ) my life dear unto myself , so that I might finish (5658 ) my course with joy , and the ministry , which I have received (5627 ) of the Lord Jesus , to testify (5664 ) the gospel of the grace of God . * And now , behold (5628 ), I know (5758 ) that ye all , among whom I have gone (5627 ) preaching (5723 ) the kingdom of God , shall see (5695 ) my face no more . * Wherefore I take you to record (5736 ) this day , that I am pure from the blood of all men . * For I have not shunned (5668 ) to declare (5658 ) unto you all the counsel of God . * Take heed (5720 ) therefore unto yourselves , and to all the flock , over the which the Holy Ghost hath made (5639 ) you overseers , to feed (5721 ) the church of God , which he hath purchased (5668 ) with his own blood . * For I know (5758 ) this , that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in (5695 ) among you , not sparing (5740 ) the flock . * Also of your own selves shall men arise (5698 ), speaking (5723 ) perverse things (5772 ), to draw away (5721 ) disciples after them . * Therefore watch (5720 ), and remember (5723 ), that by the space of three years I ceased (5668 ) not to warn (5723 ) every one night and day with tears . * And now , brethren , I commend (5731 ) you to God , and to the word of his grace , which is able (5740 ) to build you up (5658 ), and to give (5629 ) you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified (5772 ). * I have coveted (5656 ) no mans silver , or gold , or apparel . * Yea , ye yourselves know (5719 ), that these hands have ministered (5656 ) unto my necessities , and to them that were (5752 ) with me . * I have shewed (5656 ) you all things , how that so labouring (5723 ) ye ought (5748 ) to support (5738 ) the weak (5723 ), and to remember (5721 ) the words of the Lord Jesus , how he said (5627 ), It is (5748 ) more blessed to give (5721 ) than to receive (5721 ). * And when he had thus spoken (5631 ), he kneeled down (5631 ), and prayed (5662 ) with them all . * And they all wept (5633 ) sore , and fell (5631 ) on Pauls neck , and kissed (5707 ) him , * Sorrowing (5746 ) most of all for the words which he spake (5715 ), that they should (5719 ) see (5721 ) his face no more . And they accompanied (5707 ) him unto the ship .
