1When the riot was over, Paul sent for the followers and encouraged them. He then told them goodbye and left for Macedonia.
2As he traveled from place to place, he encouraged the followers with many messages. Finally, he went to Greece[#20.2 Probably Corinth.]
3and stayed there for three months.
Paul was about to sail to Syria. But some of the Jewish leaders plotted against him, so he decided to return by way of Macedonia.
4With him were Sopater, son of Pyrrhus from Berea, and Aristarchus and Secundus from Thessalonica. Gaius from Derbe was also with him, and so were Timothy and the two Asians, Tychicus and Trophimus.
5They went on ahead to Troas and waited for us there.
6After the Festival of Thin Bread, we sailed from Philippi. Five days later we met them in Troas and stayed there for a week.
7On the first day of the week we met to break bread together. Paul spoke to the people until midnight because he was leaving the next morning.[#20.7 Since the Jewish day began at sunset, the meeting would have begun in the evening.; #20.7 See the note at 2.46.]
8In the upstairs room where we were meeting, there were a lot of lamps.
9A young man by the name of Eutychus was sitting on a window sill. While Paul was speaking, the young man got very sleepy. Finally, he went to sleep and fell three floors all the way down to the ground. When they picked him up, he was dead.
10Paul went down and bent over Eutychus. He took him in his arms and said, “Don't worry! He's alive.”
11After Paul had gone back upstairs, he broke bread, and ate with us. He then spoke until dawn and left.
12Then the followers took the young man home alive and were very happy.
13Paul decided to travel by land to Assos. The rest of us went on ahead by ship, and we were to take him aboard there.
14When he met us in Assos, he came aboard, and we sailed on to Mitylene.
15The next day we came to a place near Chios, and the following day we reached Samos. The day after that we sailed to Miletus.
16Paul had decided to sail on past Ephesus, because he did not want to spend too much time in Asia. He was in a hurry and wanted to be in Jerusalem in time for Pentecost.[#20.16 The Jewish people liked to be in Jerusalem for this festival (see the note at 2.1).]
17From Miletus, Paul sent a message for the church leaders at Ephesus to come and meet with him.
18When they got there, he said:
36After Paul had finished speaking, he knelt down with all of them and prayed.
37Everyone cried and hugged and kissed him.
38They were especially sad because Paul had told them, “You will never see me again.”
Then they went with him to the ship.
