2After going through those regions and encouraging the believers with many words, he came to Greece,

5These men went on ahead and waited for us in Troas.
6But we sailed from Philippi after the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and five days later we came to them at Troas, where we stayed for seven days.
7On the first day of the week, as the disciples were gathered together to break bread, Paul addressed them, intending to depart the next day, and he prolonged his message until midnight.[#20:7 the disciples ¦ we CT]
8Now there were many lamps in the upper room where we were gathered together,[#20:8 we ¦ they TR]
9and a young man named Eutychus, who was sitting on the window sill, sank into a deep sleep while Paul continued speaking for a long time. Overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story and was picked up dead.
10But Paul went down and threw himself on the young man. Taking him in his arms, he said, “Do not be alarmed, for his life is in him.”
11Then Paul went back upstairs, and after he had broken bread and eaten, he conversed with the disciples for a long time, until dawn; that was how he departed.
12And they brought the boy home alive and were comforted beyond measure.
13Then we went to the ship and set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul on board there, for that is what he had arranged, since he himself intended to go by land.[#20:13 to ¦ on ahead to ANT ECM* NA SBL TR WH]
14When he met us in Assos, we took him on board and went to Mitylene.

16For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus so as not to spend time in Asia, because he was hurrying to arrive in Jerusalem, if possible, by the day of Pentecost.
17From Miletus Paul sent to Ephesus and called for the elders of the church.
18When they came to him, he said to them, “You yourselves know how I lived the whole time I was with you, from the day I first set foot in Asia,
19serving the Lord with all humility and with many tears and trials, which came upon me because of the plots of the Jews.[#20:19 many ¦ --- CT]
20You know that I did not hold back from declaring to you anything that was beneficial, and from teaching you in public and from house to house,
21testifying to both Jews and Greeks about repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus.[#20:21 Jesus ¦ Jesus Christ ANT ECM TR]
22And now, behold, I am going to Jerusalem, compelled by the Spirit, not knowing what will happen to me there,
23except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city that imprisonment and afflictions await me.[#20:23 testifies ¦ testifies to me CT]
24But I take no account of these things, nor do I regard my life as precious to myself, if only I may complete my course with joy and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.[#20:24 these things, nor do I regard 77.6% ¦ --- CT 1.2%; #20:24 with joy 96% ¦ --- CT 2.9%]

26Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of you all.
27For I have not held back from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.
28So keep watch over yourselves and over the entire flock. The Holy Spirit has appointed you as their overseers, to shepherd the church of our Lord and God, which he obtained with his own blood.[#20:28 So keep ¦ Keep CT; #20:28 our Lord and God ¦ God ECM NA SBL TR WH ¦ the Lord TH]

30Even from your own number men will rise up, speaking perverse things to draw the disciples away after them.
31Therefore be watchful, remembering that, night and day, for three years I did not stop admonishing each one of you, with tears.
32And now, brothers, I entrust you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all who are sanctified.[#20:32 now, brothers, ¦ now CT; #20:32 God ¦ the Lord WH; #20:32 an ¦ the ECM* NA SBL TH WH]
33I coveted no one's silver, gold, or clothing.
34You yourselves know that these hands of mine ministered to my own needs and to the needs of those who were with me.
35In all things I have shown you that we must labor in this way and help those who are weak, remembering what the Lord Jesus himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ”
36After saying these things, Paul knelt down and prayed with them all.
37There was much weeping among them all, and they threw their arms around Paul's neck and kissed him,
38being especially grieved over his statement that they would see his face no more. Then they accompanied him to the ship.
