Acts 20:15-24

¹⁵and thence having sailed, on the morrow we came over-against Chios, and the next day we arrived at Samos, and having remained in Trogyllium, on the following day we came to Miletus,

¹⁶for Paul decided to sail past Ephesus, that there may not be to him a loss of time in Asia, for he hasted, if it were possible for him, on the day of the Pentecost to be at Jerusalem.

¹⁷And from Miletus, having sent to Ephesus, he called for the elders of the assembly,

¹⁸and when they were come unto him, he said to them, 'Ye — ye know from the first day in which I came to Asia, how, with you at all times I was;

¹⁹serving the Lord with all humility, and many tears, and temptations, that befell me in the counsels of the Jews against me;

²⁰how nothing I did keep back of what things are profitable, not to declare to you, and to teach you publicly, and in every house,

²¹testifying fully both to Jews and Greeks, toward God reformation, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

²²'And now, lo, I — bound in the Spirit — go on to Jerusalem, the things that shall befall me in it not knowing,

²³save that the Holy Spirit in every city doth testify fully, saying, that for me bonds and tribulations remain;

²⁴but I make account of none of these, neither do I count my life precious to myself, so that I finish my course with joy, and the ministration that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify fully the good news of the grace of God.
