Book 44 : ACTS - Chapter 020
020:001
And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much
exhortation, he came into Greece
020:002
And there abode three months. And when the Jews laid wait for
him, as he was about to sail into Syria, he purposed to return
through Macedonia
020:003
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
020:004
These going before tarried for us at Troas
020:005
And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened
bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we
abode seven days
020:006
And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came
together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to
depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight
020:007
And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they
were gathered together
020:008
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
020:009
And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said,
Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him
020:010
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
020:011
And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little
comforted
020:012
And we went before to ship, and sailed unto Assos, there
intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, minding
himself to go afoot
020:013
And when he met with us at Assos, we took him in, and came to
Mitylene
020:014
And we sailed thence, 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
020:015
For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would
not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible
for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost
020:016
And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of
the church
020:017
And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know,
from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I
have been with you at all seasons
020:018
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
020:019
And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but
have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house
to house
020:020
Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks,
repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ
020:021
And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not
knowing the things that shall befall me there
020:022
Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that
bonds and afflictions abide me
020:023
But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear
unto 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
020:024
And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone
preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more
020:025
Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from
the blood of all men
020:026
For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of
God
020:027
Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock,
over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed
the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood
020:028
For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves
enter in among you, not sparing the flock
020:029
Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse
things, to draw away disciples after them
020:030
Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three
years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears
020:031
And now, brethren, 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
020:032
I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel
020:033
Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto
my necessities, and to them that were with me
020:034
I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye 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
020:035
And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with
them all
020:036
And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul's neck, and kissed
him
020:037
Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spake, that they
should see his face no more. And they accompanied him unto the
ship
