Acts 20:1–15

Paul in Macedonia

20After the uproar was over, Paul sent for the disciples, encouraged them, and after saying good-bye, departed to go to Macedonia. ^q2And when he had passed through those areas and exhorted them at length, he came to Greece ³and stayed three months. When he was about to set sail for Syria, a plot was devised against him by the Jews, so a decision was made to go back through Macedonia. ^r4He was accompanied ^sby Sopater son of Pyrrhus ^tfrom Berea, Aristarchus and Secundus from Thessalonica, Gaius from Derbe, Timothy, ^uand Tychicus ^vand Trophimus ^wfrom Asia. ⁵These men went on ahead and waited for us in Troas, ^x6but we sailed away from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread. ^yIn five days we reached them at Troas, where we spent seven days.

Eutychus Revived at Troas

⁷On the first day of the week, we ^zassembled to break bread. ^aPaul spoke to them, and since he was about to depart the next day, he extended his message until midnight. ⁸There were many lamps in the room upstairs where we were assembled, ⁹and a young man named Eutychus was sitting on a window sill and sank into a deep sleep as Paul kept on speaking. When he was overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story and was picked up dead. ¹⁰But Paul went down, fell on him, embraced him, and said, “Don’t be alarmed, for his life is in him!” ^b11After going upstairs, breaking the bread, and eating, Paul conversed a considerable time until dawn. Then he left. ¹²They brought the boy home alive and were greatly comforted.

From Troas to Miletus

¹³Then we went on ahead to the ship and sailed for Assos, intending to take Paul on board there. For these were his instructions, since he himself was going by land. ¹⁴When he met us at Assos, we took him on board and came to Mitylene. ¹⁵Sailing from there, the next day we arrived off Chios. The following day we crossed over to Samos, and ^cthe day after, we came to Miletus. ^d
