Acts 20:1-16

After the uproar ceased, Paul sent for the disciples, and after encouraging them, he

said farewell and departed for Macedonia. 2 When he had gone through those regions

and had given them much encouragement, he came to Greece. 3 There he spent three

months, and when a plot was made against him by the Jews as he was about to set sail

for Syria, he decided to return through Macedonia. 4 Sopater the Berean, son of Pyrrhus,

accompanied him; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of

Derbe, and Timothy; and the Asians, Tychicus and Trophimus. 5 These went on ahead

and were waiting for us at Troas, 6 but we sailed away from Philippi after the days of

Unleavened Bread, and in five days we came to them at Troas, where we stayed for

seven days.

7 On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul

talked with them, intending to depart on the next day, and he prolonged his speech

until midnight. 8 There were many lamps in the upper room where we were gathered.

9 And a young man named Eutychus, sitting at the window, sank into a deep sleep as

Paul talked still longer. And being overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story

and was taken up dead. 10 But Paul went down and bent over him, and taking him in

his arms, said, “Do not be alarmed, for his life is in him.” 11 And when Paul had gone up

and had broken bread and eaten, he conversed with them a long while, until daybreak,

and so departed. 12 And they took the youth away alive, and were not a little comforted.

13 But going ahead to the ship, we set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul aboard

there, for so he had arranged, intending himself to go by land. 14 And when he met us

at Assos, we took him on board and went to Mitylene. 15 And sailing from there we

came the following day opposite Chios; the next day we touched at Samos; and the day

after that we went to Miletus. 16 For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus, so that he

might not have to spend time in Asia, for he was hastening to be at Jerusalem, if possible,

on the day of Pentecost.
