Acts 20:1–15

Through Macedonia and Greece

20When the uproar had ended, Paul sent for the disciples^z and, after encouraging them, said goodbye and set out for Macedonia.^{a 2}He traveled through that area, speaking many words of encouragement to the people, and finally arrived in Greece, ³where he stayed three months. Because some Jews had plotted against him^b just as he was about to sail for Syria,^c he decided to go back through Macedonia.^{d 4}He was accompanied by Sopater son of Pyrrhus from Berea, Aristarchus^e and Secundus from Thessalonica,^f Gaius^g from Derbe, Timothy^h also, and Tychicusⁱ and Trophimus^j from the province of Asia.^{k 5}These men went on ahead and waited for us^l at Troas.^{m 6}But we sailed from Philippiⁿ after the Festival of Unleavened Bread, and five days later joined the others at Troas,^o where we stayed seven days.

Eutychus Raised From the Dead at Troas

⁷On the first day of the week^p we came together to break bread.^q Paul spoke to the people and, because he intended to leave the next day, kept on talking until midnight. ⁸There were many lamps in the upstairs room^r where we were meeting. ⁹Seated in a window was a young man named Eutychus, who was sinking into a deep sleep as Paul talked on and on. When he was sound asleep, he fell to the ground from the third story and was picked up dead. ¹⁰Paul went down, threw himself on the young man^s and put his arms around him. “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “He’s alive!”^{t 11}Then he went upstairs again and broke bread^u and ate. After talking until daylight, he left. ¹²The people took the young man home alive and were greatly comforted.

Paul’s Farewell to the Ephesian Elders

¹³We went on ahead to the ship and sailed for Assos, where we were going to take Paul aboard. He had made this arrangement because he was going there on foot. ¹⁴When he met us at Assos, we took him aboard and went on to Mitylene. ¹⁵The next day we set sail from there and arrived off Chios. The day after that we crossed over to Samos, and on the following day arrived at Miletus.^v
