Acts 20:5–15

⁵They went ahead and waited for us in Troas. ⁶We sailed from Philippi after the Festival of Unleavened Bread, and five days later we joined them in Troas, where we spent a week.

Paul’s Last Visit to Troas

⁷On Saturday^e evening we gathered together for the fellowship meal. Paul spoke to the people and kept on speaking until midnight, since he was going to leave the next day. ⁸Many lamps were burning in the upstairs room where we were meeting. ⁹A young man named Eutychus was sitting in the window, and as Paul kept on talking, Eutychus got sleepier and sleepier, until he finally went sound asleep and fell from the third storey to the ground. When they picked him up, he was dead. ¹⁰But Paul went down and threw himself on him and hugged him. “Don’t worry,” he said, “he is still alive!” ¹¹Then he went back upstairs, broke bread, and ate. After talking with them for a long time, even until sunrise, Paul left. ¹²They took the young man home alive and were greatly comforted.

From Troas to Miletus

¹³We went on ahead to the ship and sailed off to Assos, where we were going to take Paul aboard. He had told us to do this, because he was going there by land. ¹⁴When he met us in Assos, we took him aboard and went on to Mitylene. ¹⁵We sailed from there and arrived off Chios the next day. A day later we came to Samos, and the following day we reached Miletus.
