Paul in Macedonia and Greece

1But after the tumult had ceased, Paul having called the disciples to [him] and embraced [them], went away to go to Macedonia. 2And having passed through those parts, and having exhorted them with much discourse, he came to Greece. 3And having spent three months [there], a treacherous plot against him having been set on foot by the Jews, as he was going to sail to Syria, [the] resolution was adopted of returning through Macedonia. 4And there accompanied him as far as Asia, Sopater [son] of Pyrrhus, a Berean; and of Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus, and Gaius and Timotheus of Derbe, and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus. 5These going before waited for us in Troas; 6but we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and we came to them to Troas in five days, where we spent seven days.

Eutychus Raised from the Dead

(John 11:38-44)

7And the first day of the week, we being assembled to break bread, Paul discoursed to them, about to depart on the morrow. And he prolonged the discourse till midnight. 8And there were many lights in the upper room where we were assembled. 9And a certain youth, by name Eutychus, sitting at the window-opening, overpowered by deep sleep, while Paul discoursed very much at length, having been overpowered by the sleep, fell from the third story down to the bottom, and was taken up dead. 10But Paul descending fell upon him, and enfolding [him] [in his arms], said, Be not troubled, for his life is in him. 11And having gone up, and having broken the bread, and eaten, and having long spoken until daybreak, so he went away. 12And they brought [away] the boy alive, and were no little comforted.

From Troas to Miletus

13And we, having gone before on board ship, sailed off to Assos, going to take in Paul there; for so he had directed, he himself being about to go on foot. 14And when he met with us at Assos, having taken him on board, we came to Mitylene; 15and having sailed thence, on the morrow arrived opposite Chios, and the next day put in at Samos; and having stayed at Trogyllium, the next day we came to Miletus: 16for Paul thought it desirable to sail by Ephesus, so that he might not be made to spend time in Asia; for he hastened, if it was possible for him, to be the day of Pentecost at Jerusalem.

Paul's Farewell to the Ephesian Elders

17But from Miletus having sent to Ephesus, he called over [to him] the elders of the assembly. 18And when they were come to him, he said to them, *Ye* know how I was with you all the time from the first day that I arrived in Asia, 19serving the Lord with all lowliness, and tears, and temptations, which happened to me through the plots of the Jews; 20how I held back nothing of what is profitable, so as not to announce [it] to you, and to teach you publicly and in every house, 21testifying to both Jews and Greeks repentance towards God, and faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ. 22And now, behold, bound in my spirit *I* go to Jerusalem, not knowing what things shall happen to me in it; 23only that the Holy Spirit testifies to me in every city, saying that bonds and tribulations await me. 24But I make no account of [my] life [as] dear to myself, so that I finish my course, and the ministry which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the glad tidings of the grace of God.

25And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone about preaching the kingdom [of God], shall see my face no more. 26Wherefore I witness to you this day, that I am clean from the blood of all, 27for I have not shrunk from announcing to you all the counsel of God. 28Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock, wherein the Holy Spirit has set you as overseers, to shepherd the assembly of God, which he has purchased with the blood of his own. 29[For] *I* know [this,] that there will come in amongst you after my departure grievous wolves, not sparing the flock; 30and from among your own selves shall rise up men speaking perverted things to draw away the disciples after them. 31Wherefore watch, remembering that for three years, night and day, I ceased not admonishing each one [of you] with tears. 32And now I commit you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build [you] up and give [to you] an inheritance among all the sanctified. 33I have coveted [the] silver or gold or clothing of no one. 34Yourselves know that these hands have ministered to my wants, and to those who were with me. 35I have shewed you all things, that thus labouring [we] ought to come in aid of the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

36And having said these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all. 37And they all wept sore; and falling upon the neck of Paul they ardently kissed him, 38specially pained by the word which he had said, that they would no more see his face. And they went down with him to the ship.
