Acts 20

1 And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called to him the disciples, and embraced them, and departed for to go into Macedonia.
Compare verse
2 And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece,
Compare verse
3 And there stayed three months. And when the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria, he purposed to return through Macedonia.
Compare verse
4 And there accompanied him into Asia Sopater of Berea; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.
Compare verse
5 These going before tarried for us at Troas.
Compare verse
6 And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came to them to Troas in five days; where we stayed seven days.
Compare verse
7 And on the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached to them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.
Compare verse
8 And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together.
Compare verse
9 And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead.
Compare verse
10 And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.
Compare verse
11 When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed.
Compare verse
12 And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.
Compare verse
13 And we went before to ship, and sailed to Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, minding himself to go afoot.
Compare verse
14 And when he met with us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene.
Compare verse
15 And we sailed there, and came the next day over against Chios; and the next day we arrived at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium; and the next day we came to Miletus.
Compare verse
16 For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hurried, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.
Compare verse
17 And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church.
Compare verse
18 And when they were come to him, he said to them, You know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons,
Compare verse
19 Serving the LORD with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:
Compare verse
20 And how I kept back nothing that was profitable to you, but have showed you, and have taught you publicly, and from house to house,
Compare verse
21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
Compare verse
22 And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:
Compare verse
23 Save that the Holy Ghost witnesses in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.
Compare verse
24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear to myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
Compare verse
25 And now, behold, I know that you all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.
Compare verse
26 Why I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.
Compare verse
27 For I have not shunned to declare to you all the counsel of God.
Compare verse
28 Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost has made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he has purchased with his own blood.
Compare verse
29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
Compare verse
30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
Compare verse
31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
Compare verse
32 And now, brothers, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
Compare verse
33 I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.
Compare verse
34 Yes, you yourselves know, that these hands have ministered to my necessities, and to them that were with me.
Compare verse
35 I have showed you all things, how that so laboring you ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
Compare verse
36 And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all.
Compare verse
37 And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul's neck, and kissed him,
Compare verse
38 Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spoke, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.
