1 After the uproar {thorybon: tumultuous disturbance} had ceased, Paul {Paulos: missionary leader} summoned the disciples, and when he had encouraged them and said farewell, he departed to go into Macedonia.
2 And after he had gone through those regions {mere: various districts} and had encouraged them with many words {logos: spoken message}, he came into Greece.
3 After he had spent three months there, when a plot was made against him by the Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he resolved {gnome: deliberate decision} to return {hypostrephein: change direction} through Macedonia.
4 And Sopater {Sopatros: loyal helper} son of Pyrrhus, a Berean, was accompanying him; and from among the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus, and Gaius of Derbe and Timothy, and from Asia {Asianoi: men from Asia}, Tychicus and Trophimus.
5 But these men {houtoi: previously named companions}, having gone ahead, were waiting for us in Troas {Troas: strategic port city}.
6 But we sailed away from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread {azymon: week-long pilgrimage feast}, and in five days we came to them at Troas, where we stayed {dietripsamen: remained together there} seven days.
7 And on the first day of the week, when we had gathered together to break bread {arton: shared covenant meal}, Paul was conversing with them, since he was about to depart on the next day, and he extended the message {logon: extended teaching} until midnight.
8 Now there were many lamps {lampades: oil lamps} in the upper room where we had been gathered together {sunegmenoi: assembled group}.
9 And a certain young man by the name of Eutychus was sitting in the window {thuridos: high opening}, being overcome by deep sleep as Paul {Paulos: Apostolic Preacher} was speaking at length. Having been overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead {nekros: lifeless state}.
10 But Paul, having gone down, fell upon him, and after embracing him said, “Do not be disturbed {thorybeisthe: become agitated}, for his soul {psyche: animating life force} is in him.”
11 And when he had gone up and had broken the bread {arton: common meal}, and had eaten, he spoke for a considerable time {hikanon: extended duration}, until daybreak; thus he departed.
12 But they brought the young man {paida: restored youth} alive, and they were not a little comforted {pareklethesan: deeply encouraged}.
13 But we, having gone ahead to the ship, set sail for Assos, intending from there to take Paul {Paulos: Called Apostle} on board; for thus he had arranged, since he himself was about to go by land {pezeuein: journey on foot}.
14 But when he met us at Assos {Asson: coastal town}, having taken him on board, we came to Mitylene {Mitylenen: key city on Lesbos}.
15 And from there, having set sail, we arrived the next day opposite Chios {Chiou: Aegean island}; and the following day we put in at Samos; and on the day after that we came to Miletus {Mileton: Ionian port}.
16 For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus {Ephesos: major port city}, so that he might not spend time in Asia {Asia: Roman province}; for he was hurrying, if it might be possible for him, to be in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.
17 From Miletus, having sent to Ephesus {Ephesos: major Asian city}, he summoned the elders {presbyteroi: local church overseers} of the church.
18 And as they came to him, he said to them, "You yourselves know from the first day that I set foot in Asia {Asia: Roman province in Asia Minor} how I was with you the whole time {khronos: continuous duration}."
19 Serving the Lord {Kyrios, Served Faithfully} with all humility {tapeinophrosyne: lowly mindset} and tears, and with the trials that happened to me in the plots of the Jews.
20 How I did not hold back anything {ouden: not even one thing} that was profitable {symphero: truly beneficial} from declaring it to you and from teaching you publicly and from house to house.
21 Testifying both to Jews and to Greeks about repentance toward God {Theos, Recipient Of Repentance} and faith in our Lord Jesus {Kyrios Iesous, Object Of Faith}.
22 And now, behold, I, having been bound {dedemenos: inwardly constrained} in the Spirit {pneumati: Holy guiding presence}, am going to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that will meet me there.
23 Except that the Holy Spirit {pneuma to hagion, Prophetic Witness} in every city testifies to me, saying that bonds and afflictions {thlipseis: outward trials} await me.
24 But I do not consider my life precious to myself of any account, so that I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus {Kyrios Iesous, Commissioning Lord}, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God {Theos, Source of Saving Grace}.
25 And now, behold, I know that you all, among whom I have gone about proclaiming the kingdom {basileia: royal reign}, will no longer see my face {prosopon: personal presence}.
26 Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent {katharos: free from guilt} of the blood {haimatos: accountable for every life} of all.
27 For I did not shrink back from declaring to you all the counsel {boule: sovereign plan} of God {Theos, Sovereign Planner}.
28 Be vigilant toward yourselves and toward the entire flock in which the Holy Spirit {Pneuma Hagion: Divine Appointer} has appointed you as overseers to shepherd the church of God {Theos: Covenant Possessor}, which He obtained with His own blood.
29 I know that after my departure, severe wolves {lukoi: ruthless opponents} will come in among you, not sparing the flock {poimnion: gathered believers}.
30 And from among your own selves men will arise, speaking twisted things to draw away the disciples {mathetas: devoted pupils} after themselves {heauton: self-seeking guides}.
31 Therefore be watchful {gregoreite: spiritually alert}, remembering that for three years, night and day, I did not cease, with tears, admonishing each one {noutheteo: serious counsel}.
32 And now I entrust you to God {Theos, Faithful Protector} and to the word of His grace {charis: unmerited favor}; it is able to strengthen you and to give you the inheritance among all those who have been sanctified.
33 I have not coveted {epithymeo: deeply desired} anyone's silver or gold or clothing {himatismos: outer garments}.
34 You yourselves know that these hands {cheires: diligent manual work} have served {huperetesan: tangible material support} my needs and the needs of those who were with me.
35 I have shown you all things, that in this way by laboring it is necessary to help the weak and to remember the words {logōn: spoken teachings} of the Lord Jesus {Kurios Iesous, Guiding Teacher}, that He Himself said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”
36 And after he had said these things, he knelt down {gonata: posture of reverence} with all of them and prayed {proseuxato: earnest petition}.
37 And there arose much weeping {klauthmos: loud heartfelt sorrow} among them all, and having fallen upon the neck of Paul, they kept kissing {katephiloun: affectionate repeated embrace} him.
38 Grieving most of all because of the word {logos: solemn message} which he had spoken, that they would no longer see his face. And they accompanied him {auton: Paul, apostolic witness} to the ship.
