Deeds (Act) of Apostles 20:5-28

⁵These for they went before, abode us at Troas.

⁶For we shipped after the days of therf loaves from Philippi, and came to them at Troas in five days, where we dwelt seven days.

⁷And in the first day of the week, when we came to break bread, Paul disputed with them, and should go forth in the morrow; and he drew along the sermon till into midnight.

⁸And many lamps were in the solar, where we were gathered together.

⁹And a young man, Eutychus by name, sat on the window, when he was fallen into an heavy sleep, while Paul disputed long, all sleeping he fell down from the third stage; and he was taken up, and was brought dead.

¹⁰To whom when Paul came down, he lay on him, and embraced, and said, Do not ye be troubled; for his soul is in him.

¹¹And he went up, and brake bread, and ate, and spake enough unto the day or till into the light; and so he went forth.

¹²And they brought the child alive, and they were comforted greatly.

¹³And we went up into a ship, and shipped into Assos, to take Paul from thence; for so he had disposed to make journey by land.

¹⁴And when he found us in Assos, we took him, and came to Mitylene.

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.

²⁵And now lo! I know, that ye shall no more see my face, all ye by which I passed, preaching the kingdom of God.

²⁶Wherefore I witness to you this day, that I am clean of the blood of all men.

²⁷For I fled or flew not away, that I told not to you all the counsel of God.

²⁸Take ye attention to you, and to all the flock, in which the Holy Ghost hath set or hath put you, bishops to rule the church of God, which he purchased with his blood.
