Acts 20:6-28

⁶But we set sail from Philippi, after the days of unleavened bread, and came to them at Troas in five days, where we abode seven days.

⁷And on the first day of the week, when we had assembled to break bread, Paul discoursed to them, being about to depart on the morrow, and continued the discourse until midnight.

⁸And there were many lamps in the upper room where we had assembled.

⁹And there sat on the window a certain young man named Eutychus, having fallen into a deep sleep; and as Paul was discoursing at great length, he sank down with sleep, and fell from thee third story, and was taken up dead.

¹⁰But Paul went down and fell on him, and having embraced him, said, Make no lamentations; for his life is in him.

¹¹And having gone up again, and broken the bread and eaten, he talked a long while even till break of day, and so departed.

¹²And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.

¹³We however, going forward to the ship, put to sea for Assos, intending to take in Paul from that place; for so he had appointed, intending himself to go on foot.

¹⁴And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board, and came to Mitylene;

¹⁵and sailing thence, we came the following day over against Chios. And the next day we arrived at Samos; and having tarried at Trogyllium, we came the next day to Miletus.

¹⁶For Paul had determined to sail past Ephesus, that he might not be detained in Asia; for he was hastening, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.

¹⁷And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church.

¹⁸And when they had come to him, he said to them: Ye yourselves know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you the whole time,

¹⁹serving the Lord with all humility, and with tears, and trials which befell me by the plots of the Jews;

²⁰how I kept back nothing that was profitable, but have made it known to you, and have taught you publicly, and from house to house;

²¹testifying to both Jews and Greeks repentance toward God, and faith in our Lord Jesus.

²²And now behold, I go, bound in my spirit, to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that will befall me there;

²³save that the Holy Spirit witnesseth to me in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions await me.

²⁴But I count life of no value to me, so that I may finish my course, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the glad tidings of the grace of God.

²⁵And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I went about preaching the kingdom, will see my face no more.

²⁶Wherefore I testify to you this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men;

²⁷for I have not shunned to declare to you the whole counsel of God.

²⁸Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock over which the Holy Spirit made you overseers, to feed the church of the Lord, which he purchased with his own blood.
