Afterg3326 the uproarg2351 had ceasedg3973, Paulg3972 sentg3343 for  athe disciplesg3101, and when he had exhortedg3870 them and takeng782 his leaveg782 of them, he leftg1831  bto gog4198 to  cMacedoniag3109.

2

When he had goneg1330 throughg1330 thoseg1565 districtsg3313 and had giveng3870 them muchg4183 exhortationg3870g3056, he cameg2064 to Greeceg1671.

And there he spentg4160 threeg5140 monthsg3376, and when  aa plotg1917 was formedg1096 againstg1917 him by the Jewsg2453 as he was aboutg3195 to setg321 sailg321 for  bSyriag4947, he decidedg1096g1106 to returng5290 throughg1223  cMacedoniag3109.

And  1he was accompaniedg4902b by Sopaterg4986 of  aBereag961a, the son of Pyrrhusg4450b, and by  bAristarchusg708 and Secundusg4580 of the  cThessaloniansg2331, and  bGaiusg1050 of  dDerbeg1190b, and  eTimothyg5095, and  fTychicusg5190 and  gTrophimusg5161 of  2 hAsiag774.

5

But theseg3778 had goneg4281 on aheadg4281 and were waitingg3306 for  aus at  bTroasg5174.

6

 aWe sailedg1602 from  bPhilippig5375 afterg3326  cthe daysg2250 of Unleavenedg106 Bread, and cameg2064 to them at  dTroasg5174 withing891 fiveg4002 daysg2250; and thereg3699 we stayedg1304 seveng2033 daysg2250.

7

On  athe firstg1520 day of the weekg4521, when  bwe were gatheredg4863 togetherg4863 to  cbreakg2806 breadg740, Paulg3972 began talkingg1256 to them, intendingg3195 to leaveg1826 the nextg1887 dayg1887, and he prolongedg3905 his  1messageg3056 untilg3360 midnightg3317.

8

There were manyg2425  alampsg2985 in the  bupperg5253 roomg5253 whereg3757 we were gatheredg4863 togetherg4863.

And there was a youngg3494 mang3494 namedg3686  1Eutychusg2161 sittingg2516  2on the windowg2376 sillg2376, sinkingg2702 into a deepg901 sleepg5258; and as Paulg3972 kept on talkingg1256, he was overcomeg2702 by sleepg5258 and fellg4098 downg2736 from the thirdg5152 floorg5152 and was pickedg142 up deadg3498.

10

But Paulg3972 wentg2597 downg2597 and  afellg1968 upon him, and after embracingg4843 him, he  bsaidg3004, " 1Do not be troubledg2350b, for his lifeg5590 is in him."

11

When he had goneg305 back up and had  abrokeng2806 the breadg740 and  1eateng1089, he talkedg3656 with them a longg2425 whileg2425 untilg891 daybreakg827, and theng3779 leftg1831.

12

They tookg71 awayg71 the boyg3816 aliveg2198, and were  1greatlyg3756g3357 comfortedg3870.

13

But  awe, goingg4281 aheadg4281 to the shipg4143, setg321 sailg321 for Assosg789, intendingg3195 from thereg1564 to takeg353 Paulg3972 on boardg353; for sog3779 he had arrangedg1299 it, intendingg3195 himselfg846 to gog3978  1by landg3978.

14

And wheng5613 he metg4820 us at Assosg789, we tookg353 him on boardg353 and cameg2064 to Mityleneg3412.

15

Sailingg636 from thereg2547, we arrivedg2658 the followingg1897a day oppositeg481 Chiosg5508; and the nextg2087 day we crossedg3846 overg3846 to Samosg4544; and the day followingg2192 we cameg2064 to  aMiletusg3399.

21

solemnlyg1263  atestifyingg1263 to bothg5037 Jewsg2453 and Greeksg1672 of  brepentanceg3341 towardg1519 Godg2316 and  cfaithg4102 in our Lordg2962 Jesusg2424 Christg5547.

22

"And nowg3568, beholdg2400, boundg1210 by the  1Spiritg4151,  aI amg4198 on my wayg4198 to Jerusalemg2419, not knowingg3609a what will happeng4876 to me thereg1722g846,

23

exceptg4133 that  athe Holyg40 Spiritg4151 solemnlyg1263  btestifiesg1263 to me in everyg2596 cityg4172, sayingg3004 that  cbondsg1199 and afflictionsg2347 awaitg3306 me.

24

"But  aI do not considerg4160 my lifeg5590 of anyg3762 accountg3056 as dearg5093 to myselfg1683, sog5613 that I may  bfinishg5048 my courseg1408 and  cthe ministryg1248 whichg3739 I receivedg2983 from the Lordg2962 Jesusg2424, to  dtestifyg1263 solemnlyg1263 of the gospelg2098 of  ethe graceg5485 of Godg2316.

25

"And nowg3568, beholdg2400, I knowg3609a that allg3956 of you, amongg1722 whomg3739 I wentg1330 aboutg1330  apreachingg2784 the kingdomg932, will nog3765 longerg3765 seeg3708 my faceg4383.

"Thereforeg1360, I  1testifyg3143 to you thisg4594 dayg2250 that  aI amg1510  2innocentg2513 of the bloodg129 of allg3956 meng3956.

27

"For I  adid not shrinkg5288 from declaringg312 to you the wholeg3956  bpurposeg1012 of Godg2316.

28

"Be on guardg4337 for yourselvesg1438 and for allg3956  athe flockg4168, amongg1722 whichg3739 the Holyg40 Spiritg4151 has madeg5087 you  1overseersg1985, to shepherdg4165  bthe churchg1577 of Godg2316 whichg3739  cHe  2purchasedg4046  3with His owng2398 bloodg129.

31

"Thereforeg1352 be on the alertg1127, rememberingg3421 that nightg3571 and dayg2250 for a periodg5148 of  athreeg5148 yearsg5148 I did not ceaseg3973 to admonishg3560 eachg1538 oneg1520  bwith tearsg1144.

32

"And nowg3568 I  acommendg3908 you to Godg2316 and to  bthe wordg3056 of His graceg5485, which is ableg1410 to  cbuildg3618 you up and to giveg1325 you  dthe inheritanceg2817 amongg1722 allg3956 thoseg3588 who are sanctifiedg37.
