Journeys in Greece

¹After the uproar had ceased, Paul called the disciples to himself, embraced them, and ⚓departed to go to Macedonia. ²Now when he had gone over that region and encouraged them with many words, he came to ⚓Greece ³and stayed three months. And ⚓when the Jews plotted against him as he was about to sail to Syria, he decided to return through Macedonia. ⁴And Sopater of Berea accompanied him to Asia—also ⚓Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, and ⚓Gaius of Derbe, and ⚓Timothy, and ⚓Tychicus and ⚓Trophimus of Asia. ⁵These men, going ahead, waited for us at ⚓Troas. ⁶But we sailed away from Philippi after ⚓the Days of Unleavened Bread, and in five days joined them ⚓at Troas, where we stayed seven days.

Ministering at Troas

⁷Now on ⚓the first day of the week, when the disciples came together ⚓to break bread, Paul, ready to depart the next day, spoke to them and continued his message until midnight. ⁸There were many lamps ⚓in the upper room where they were gathered together. ⁹And in a window sat a certain young man named Eutychus, who was sinking into a deep sleep. He was overcome by sleep; and as Paul continued speaking, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead. ¹⁰But Paul went down, ⚓fell on him, and embracing him said, ⚓“Do not trouble yourselves, for his life is in him.” ¹¹Now when he had come up, had broken bread and eaten, and talked a long while, even till daybreak, he departed. ¹²And they brought the young man in alive, and they were not a little comforted.

From Troas to Miletus

¹³Then we went ahead to the ship and sailed to Assos, there intending to take Paul on board; for so he had given orders, intending himself to go on foot. ¹⁴And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and came to Mitylene. ¹⁵We sailed from there, and the next day came opposite Chios. The following day we arrived at Samos and stayed at Trogyllium. The next day we came to Miletus. ¹⁶For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus, so that he would not have to spend time in Asia; for ⚓he was hurrying ⚓to be at Jerusalem, if possible, on ⚓the Day of Pentecost.

The Ephesian Elders Exhorted

¹⁷From Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called for the elders of the church. ¹⁸And when they had come to him, he said to them: “You know, ⚓from the first day that I came to Asia, in what manner I always lived among you, ¹⁹serving the Lord with all humility, with many tears and trials which happened to me ⚓by the plotting of the Jews; ²⁰how ⚓I kept back nothing that was helpful, but proclaimed it to you, and taught you publicly and from house to house, ²¹⚓testifying to Jews, and also to Greeks, ⚓repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. ²²And see, now ⚓I go bound in the spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that will happen to me there, ²³except that ⚓the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that chains and tribulations await me. ²⁴But ⚓none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, ⚓so that I may finish my race with joy, ⚓and the ministry ⚓which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.
²⁵“And indeed, now I know that you all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, will see my face no more. ²⁶Therefore I testify to you this day that I am⚓innocent of the blood of all men. ²⁷For I have not shunned to declare to you ⚓the whole counsel of God. ²⁸⚓Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit ⚓has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God ⚓which He purchased ⚓with His own blood. ²⁹For I know this, that after my departure ⚓savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. ³⁰Also ⚓from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves. ³¹Therefore watch, and remember that ⚓for three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears.
³²“So now, brethren, I commend you to God and ⚓to the word of His grace, which is able ⚓to build you up and give you ⚓an inheritance among all those who are sanctified. ³³I have coveted no one’s silver or gold or apparel. ³⁴Yes, you yourselves know ⚓that these hands have provided for my necessities, and for those who were with me. ³⁵I have shown you in every way, ⚓by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ”
³⁶And when he had said these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all. ³⁷Then they all ⚓wept freely, and ⚓fell on Paul’s neck and kissed him, ³⁸sorrowing most of all for the words which he spoke, that they would see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.
