20Now after the turmoil had ceased, Paul summoned^* the disciples, and after^* encouraging them,^* he said farewell and^* departed to travel to Macedonia. ²And after he^* had gone through those regions and encouraged them at length,^a he came to Greece ³and stayed^* three months. Because^* a plot was made against him by the Jews as he^* was about to set sail for Syria, he came to a decision to return through Macedonia. ⁴And Sopater son of Pyrrhus from Berea, and Aristarchus and Secundus from Thessalonica, and Gaius from Derbe, and Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus from Asia, were accompanying him. ⁵And these had gone on ahead and^* were waiting for us in Troas. ⁶And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread and came to them at Troas within five days, where we stayed seven days.

Eutychus Falls from a Window

⁷And on the first day of the week, when^* we had assembled to break bread, Paul began conversing^* with them, because he^* was going to leave on the next day, and he extended his^* message until midnight. ⁸Now there were quite a few lamps in the upstairs room where we were gathered. ⁹And a certain young man named^b Eutychus who was sitting in the window was sinking into a deep sleep while^* Paul was conversing at length. Being overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story and was picked up dead. ¹⁰But Paul went down and^* threw himself on him, and putting his arms around him,^* said, “Do not be distressed, for his life is in him.” ¹¹So he went up and broke bread,^* and when he^* had eaten and talked for a long time, until dawn, then he departed. ¹²And they led the youth away alive, and were greatly^c comforted.

The Voyage to Miletus

¹³But we went on ahead to the ship and^* put out to sea for Assos, intending to take Paul on board there. For having made arrangements in this way, he himself was intending to travel by land. ¹⁴And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and^* went to Mitylene. ¹⁵And we sailed from there on the next day, and^* arrived opposite Chios. And on the next day we approached Samos, and on the following day we came to Miletus.
