¶ And after¹ the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto him the disciples, and embraced² them, and departed for to go³ into Macedonia.

And when he had gone over those⁴ parts, and had given⁵ them much exhortation, he came into Greece⁷,

And there abode three months. And when the Jews⁸ laid wait for him, as he was about to sail⁹ into Syria, he purposed¹⁰ to return through Macedonia.

And there accompanied him into Asia Sopater¹¹ of Berea; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus¹³ and Secundus; and Gaius¹⁴ of Derbe¹⁵, and Timotheus¹⁶; and of Asia, Tychicus¹⁷ and Trophimus¹⁸.

These going before tarried for us at Troas¹⁹.

And we sailed away from Philippi²⁰ after the days²¹ of unleavened bread, and came²² unto them to Troas in five days; where we abode seven²³ days.

¶ And upon the first²⁴ day of the week, when the disciples²⁵ came together to break²⁶ bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued²⁷ his speech until midnight.

And there were many lights in²⁸ the upper chamber, where they were gathered together.

And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being²⁹ fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third³⁰ loft, and was³¹ taken up dead.

¶ And Paul went down, and fell³² on him, and embracing him said, Trouble³³ not yourselves; for his life is in him.

When he therefore was come up again, and had³⁴ broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even³⁵ till break of day, so he departed.

And they³⁶ brought the young man alive, and were³⁷ not a little comforted.

¶ And we went before to ship, and sailed unto Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, minding³⁸ himself to go afoot.

And when he met with us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene.

And we sailed thence, and came the next day over against Chios; and the next day we arrived at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium; and the next day we came to Miletus³⁹.

For Paul had⁴¹ determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day⁴² of Pentecost.

¶ And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders⁴³ of the church.

And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know, from⁴⁴ the first day that I came into Asia, after⁴⁵ what manner I have been with you at all seasons,

Serving⁴⁶ the Lord with all⁴⁷ humility of mind, and with many⁴⁸ tears, and temptations⁴⁹, which befell me by the⁵⁰ lying in wait of the Jews:

¶ And how I kept⁵¹ back nothing that was profitable⁵² unto you, but have shewed you, and have⁵³ taught you publickly, and from house to house,

Testifying⁵⁴ both to the Jews⁵⁵, and also to the Greeks, repentance⁵⁶ toward God, and faith⁵⁷ toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

And now, behold, I go⁵⁸ bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not⁵⁹ knowing the things that shall befall me there:

Save that the Holy Ghost⁶⁰ witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me⁶¹.

But none⁶² of these things move me, neither⁶³ count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might⁶⁴ finish my course with joy, and the⁶⁵ ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify⁶⁶ the gospel⁶⁷ of the grace of God.

And now, behold, I know⁶⁸ that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching⁶⁹ the kingdom of God, shall see⁷⁰ my face no more.

Wherefore I take⁷¹ you to record this day, that⁷² I am pure from the blood of all men.

For I have⁷³ not shunned to declare unto you all⁷⁴ the counsel of God.

Take⁷⁵ heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all⁷⁶ the flock, over⁷⁷ the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers⁷⁸, to feed the church⁸⁰ of God, which he⁸¹ hath purchased with his own blood.

For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves⁸² enter in among you, not⁸³ sparing the flock.

¶ Also of your⁸⁴ own selves shall men arise, speaking⁸⁵ perverse things, to draw⁸⁶ away disciples after them.

Therefore watch⁸⁷, and remember, that by⁸⁸ the space of three years I ceased not to warn⁸⁹ every one night⁹⁰ and day with⁹¹ tears.

And now, brethren, I commend⁹² you to God, and to the⁹³ word of his grace, which is able to build⁹⁴ you up, and to give⁹⁵ you an inheritance among all them which are⁹⁶ sanctified.

⁹⁷I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.

Yea, ye yourselves know, that these⁹⁸ hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.

I have shewed⁹⁹ you all things, how that¹⁰⁰ so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is¹⁰¹ more blessed to give than to receive.

¶ And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled¹⁰² down, and prayed with them all.

And they all wept¹⁰³ sore, and fell¹⁰⁴ on Paul's neck, and kissed¹⁰⁵ him,

Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spake, that¹⁰⁶ they should see his face no more. And¹⁰⁷ they accompanied him unto the ship.
