16 For Paul had determined to sail by eEphesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, fto be at Jerusalem gthe day of Pentecost. 17 And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called hthe elders of the church. 18 And when they were come to him, he said unto them,

Ye know, ifrom the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons, 19 Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me kby the lying in wait of the Jews: 20 And how lI kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, lbut have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house, 21 mTestifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, norepentance toward God, and nfaith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. 22 And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: 23 Save that pthe Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, qsaying that bonds and afflictions ||abide me. 24 But rnone of these things move me, neither scount I my life dear unto myself, so that I might tfinish my course with joy, and uthe ministry, which I have received wof the Lord Jesus, to mtestify the gospel of the grace of God. 25 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone xpreaching the kingdom of God, yshall see my face no more. 26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that zI am pure from the blood of all men. 27 For aI have not shunned to declare unto you all bthe counsel of God. 28 cTake heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all dthe flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you eoverseers, dto feed the church of God, which he hath fpurchased gwith his own blood. 29 For I know this, that after my departing shall hgrievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 30 Also iof your own selves shall men arise, speaking kperverse things, to draw away ldisciples after them. 31 Therefore mwatch, and remember, that by the space of nthree years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears. 32 And now, brethren, I ocommend you to God, and to pthe word of his grace, which is able to qbuild you up, and to give you ran inheritance among all them which are sanctified. 33 sI have coveted no man’s silver, or gold, or tapparel. 34 Yea, ye yourselves know, that uthese hands have ministered unto my necessities, and xto them that were with me. 35 I have shewed you all things, how that sso labouring ye ought to ysupport the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

36 And when he had thus spoken, he zkneeled down, and prayed with them all. 37 And they all wept sore, and afell on Paul’s neck, and kissed him, 38 Sorrowing most of all for the words bwhich he spake, that they should see his face no more. And they caccompanied him unto the ship.

21 And it came to pass, that after we were gotten from them, and had launched, we acame with a straight course unto bCoos, and the day following unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara: 2 And finding a ship sailing over unto cPhenicia, we went aboard, and set forth. 3 Now when we had discovered dCyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed into eSyria, and landed at fTyre: for gthere the ship was to unlade her burden. 4 And finding hdisciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul ithrough the Spirit, that he should not kgo up to Jerusalem. 5 And when we had accomplished those days, we departed and went our way; and they all lbrought us on our way, with wives and children, till we were out of the city: and we mkneeled down on the shore, and prayed. 6 And when we had mmtaken our leave one of another, we took ship; and they returned nhome again. 7 And when we had finished our course from fTyre, we came to oPtolemais, and saluted pthe brethren, and abode with them one day. 8 And the next day we qthat were of Paul’s company departed, and came unto rCaesarea: and we entered into the house of sPhilip tthe evangelist, which was one sof the seven; and abode with him. 9 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, uwhich did prophesy. 10 And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judaea a certain xprophet, named yAgabus. 11 And when he was come unto us, he took Paul’s zgirdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith athe Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles. 12 And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to bgo up to Jerusalem. 13 Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, cbut also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus. 14 And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, dThe will of the Lord be done. 15 And after those days we took up our ecarriages, and bwent up to Jerusalem.
