Acts 20:1–15

Journeys in Greece

20After the uproar had ceased, Paul called the disciples to himself, embraced them, and ^adeparted to go to Macedonia. ²Now when he had gone over that region and encouraged them with many words, he came to ^bGreece ³and stayed three months. And ^cwhen the Jews plotted against him as he was about to sail to Syria, he decided to return through Macedonia. ⁴And Sopater of Berea accompanied him to Asia—also ^dAristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, and ^eGaius of Derbe, and ^fTimothy, and ^gTychicus and ^hTrophimus of Asia. ⁵These men, going ahead, waited for us at ⁱTroas. ⁶But we sailed away from Philippi after ^jthe Days of Unleavened Bread, and in five days joined them ^kat Troas, where we stayed seven days.

Ministering at Troas

⁷Now on ^lthe first day of the week, when the disciples came together ^mto break bread, Paul, ready to depart the next day, spoke to them and continued his message until midnight. ⁸There were many lamps ⁿin the upper room where ¹they were gathered together. ⁹And in a window sat a certain young man named Eutychus, who was sinking into a deep sleep. He was overcome by sleep; and as Paul continued speaking, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead. ¹⁰But Paul went down, ^ofell on him, and embracing him said, ^p“Do not trouble yourselves, for his life is in him.” ¹¹Now when he had come up, had broken bread and eaten, and talked a long while, even till daybreak, he departed. ¹²And they brought the young man in alive, and they were not a little comforted.

From Troas to Miletus

¹³Then we went ahead to the ship and sailed to Assos, there intending to take Paul on board; for so he had ²given orders, intending himself to go on foot. ¹⁴And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and came to Mitylene. ¹⁵We sailed from there, and the next day came opposite Chios. The following day we arrived at Samos and stayed at Trogyllium. The next day we came to Miletus.
