Acts 20:5-28

⁵These went before and taryed vs at Troas.

⁶And we sayled awaye from Philippos after the ester holydayes and came vnto them to Troas in five dayes where we abode seven dayes.

⁷And on the morowe after the saboth daye the disciples came to geder for to breake breed and Paul preached vnto them (redy to departe on the morowe) and continued the preachynge vnto mydnyght.

⁸And there were many lyghtes in the chamber where thy were gaddered to geder

⁹and there sate in a wyndowe a certayne yonge man named Eutichos fallen into a depe slepe. And as Paul declared he was the moare overcome with slepe and fell doune from the thyrde lofte and was taken vp deed.

¹⁰Paul went doune and fell on him and embrased him and sayde: make nothinge ado for his lyfe is in him.

¹¹When he was come vp agayne he brake breed and tasted and comened a longe whyle even tyll the mornynge and so departed.

¹²And they brought the youge man a lyve and were not alytell comforted.

¹³And we went a fore to shippe and lowsed vnto Asson there to receave Paul. For so had he apoynted and wolde him selfe goo a fote.

¹⁴When he was come to vs vnto Asson we toke him in and came to Mytelenes.

¹⁵And we sayled thence and came the nexte daye over agaynst Chios. And the nexte daye we aryved at Samos and taryed at Trogilion. The nexte daye we came to Myleton:

¹⁶for Paul had determined to leave Ephesus as they sayled because he wolde not spende the tyme in Asia. For he hasted to be (yf he coulde possible) at Ierusalem at the daye of pentecoste.

¹⁷Wherfore from Myleton he sent to Ephesus and called the elders of the congregacion.

¹⁸And when they were come to him he sayde vnto the: Ye knowe from the fyrst daye that I came vnto Asia after what maner I have bene with you at all ceasons

¹⁹servynge the lorde with all humblenes of mynde and with many teares and temptacions which happened vnto me by the layinges awayte of the Ieues

²⁰and how I kept backe no thinge that was profitable: but that I have shewed you and taught you openly and at home in youre houses

²¹witnessinge bothe to the Iewes and also to the Grekes the repentaunce toward God and faith towarde oure Lorde Iesu.

²²And now beholde I goo bounde in the sprete vnto Ierusalem and knowe not what shall come on me there

²³but that the holy goost witnesseth in every cite sayinge: that bondes and trouble abyde me.

²⁴But none of tho thinges move me: nether is my lyfe dere vnto my selfe that I myght fulfill my course with ioye and the ministracion which I have receaved of the Lorde Iesu to testify the gospell of the grace of god.

²⁵And now beholde I am sure that hence forth ye all (thorow who I have gone preachinge the kyngdome of God) shall se my face no moore.

²⁶Wherfore I take you to recorde this same daye that I am pure from the bloude of all men.

²⁷For I have kepte nothinge backe: but have shewed you all the counsell of God.

²⁸Take hede therfore vnto youre selves and to all the flocke wherof the holy goost hath made you oversears to rule the congregacion of God which he hath purchased with his bloud.
