## Through Macedonia and Greece 

###### 1
Now after the uproar had ceased, Paul having summoned and exhorted the disciples, said farewell and left to go to Macedonia. 

###### 2
And when he had gone through those districts and had given them much exhortation, he came to Greece. 

###### 3
And _there_ he spent three months, and when a plot was formed against him by the Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he decided to return through Macedonia. 

###### 4
And he was accompanied by Sopater of Berea, _the son_ of Pyrrhus, and by Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia. 

###### 5
But these had gone on ahead and were waiting for us at Troas. 

###### 6
And we sailed from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and came to them at Troas within five days; and there we stayed seven days. 

## Eutychus Raised from the Dead in Troas 

###### 7
And on the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul _began_ speaking to them, intending to leave the next day, and he prolonged his message until midnight. 

###### 8
Now there were many lamps in the upper room where we were gathered together. 

###### 9
And there was a young man named Eutychus sitting on the windowsill, sinking into a deep sleep. And as Paul kept on talking, he sunk into that sleep and fell down from the third floor and was picked up dead. 

###### 10
But Paul went down and fell upon him, and after embracing him, he said, "Do not be troubled, for his life is in him." 

###### 11
And when he had gone _back_ up and had broken the bread and eaten, he talked with them a long while until daybreak, and then left. 

###### 12
And they took away the boy alive, and were not a little comforted. 

## Paul's Farewell to the Ephesian Elders 

###### 13
But we, going ahead to the ship, set sail for Assos, intending from there to take Paul on board; for so he had arranged it, intending himself to go by land. 

###### 14
And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and came to Mitylene. 

###### 15
And sailing from there, we arrived the following day opposite Chios; and the next day we crossed over to Samos; and the day following we came to Miletus. 

###### 16
For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus so that he would not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hurrying to be in Jerusalem, if possible, on the day of Pentecost. 

###### 17
Now from Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called to him the elders of the church. 

###### 18
And when they had come to him, he said to them, "You yourselves know, from the first day that I set foot in Asia, how I was with you the whole time, 

###### 19
serving the Lord with all humility and with tears and with trials which came upon me through the plots of the Jews; 

###### 20
how I did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, and teaching you publicly and from house to house, 

###### 21
solemnly testifying to both Jews and Greeks about repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. 

###### 22
And now, behold, bound by the Spirit, I am on my way to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there, 

###### 23
except that the Holy Spirit solemnly testifies to me in every city, saying that chains and afflictions await me. 

###### 24
But I do not make my life of any account nor dear to myself, so that I may finish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify solemnly of the gospel of the grace of God. 

###### 25
"And now, behold, I know that all of you, among whom I went about preaching the kingdom, will no longer see my face. 

###### 26
Therefore, I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all. 

###### 27
For I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole purpose of God. 

###### 28
Be on guard for yourselves and for 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. 

###### 29
I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; 

###### 30
and from among your own selves men will arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them. 

###### 31
Therefore be watchful, remembering that night and day for a period of three years I did not cease to admonish each one with tears. 

###### 32
And now I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build _you_ up and to give _you_ the inheritance among all those who have been sanctified. 

###### 33
I have coveted no one's silver or gold or clothes. 

###### 34
You yourselves know that these hands ministered to my _own_ needs and to those who were with me. 

###### 35
In everything I showed you that by laboring in this manner you must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said, **'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'**" 

###### 36
And when he had said these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all. 

###### 37
And they _began_ to weep aloud and falling on Paul's neck, they were kissing him, 

###### 38
being in agony especially over the word which he had spoken, that they would not see his face again. And they were accompanying him to the ship.
