Deeds (Act) of Apostles 20:15-24

¹⁵And from thence we shipped in the day pursuing, and we came against Chios, and another day we havened at Samos, and in the day pursuing, we came to Miletus.

¹⁶And Paul purposed to ship over to Ephesus, lest any tarrying were made to him in Asia; for he hied, if it were possible to him, that he should be in the day of Pentecost at Jerusalem.

¹⁷From Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the greatest men of birth or the more through birth, either the elder men, of the church.

¹⁸And when they came to him, and were together, he said to them, Ye know from the first day, in which I came into Asia, how with you by each time I was,

¹⁹serving to the Lord with all meekness, and mildness, and tears, and temptations, that felled to me of ambushings of Jews;

²⁰how I withdrew not or nought of profitable things to you, that I told not to you, and taught you openly, and by houses;

²¹and I witnessed to Jews and to heathen men penance into God, and faith into our Lord Jesus Christ.

²²And now lo! I am bound in spirit, and go into Jerusalem; and I know not what things shall come to me in it,

²³but that the Holy Ghost by all cities witnesseth to me, and saith, that bonds and tribulations at Jerusalem abide me.

²⁴But I dread nothing of these, neither I make my life preciouser than myself, so that I end, or fulfill, my course, and the ministry of the word, which I received of the Lord Jesus, to witness the gospel of the grace of God.
