  Acts   chapter 20

   1 And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto
  him the disciples, and embraced them, and departed
  for to go into Macedonia.
   2 And when he had gone over those parts, and had
  given them much exhortation, he came into Greece,
   3 And there abode three months. And when the Jews
  laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into
  Syria, he purposed to return through Macedonia.
   4 And there accompanied him into Asia Sopater of
  Berea; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and
  Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus; and of
  Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.
   5 These going before tarried for us at Troas.
   6 And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of
  unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas in five
  days; where we abode seven days.
   7 And upon the first day of the week, when the
  disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached
  unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and
  continued his speech until midnight.
   8 And there were many lights in the upper chamber,
  where they were gathered together.
   9 And there sat in a window a certain young man
  named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and
  as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep,
  and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up
  dead.
  10 And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing
  him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in
  him.
  11 When he therefore was come up again, and had
  broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while,
  even till break of day, so he departed.
  12 And they brought the young man alive, and were not
  a little comforted.
  13 And we went before to ship, and sailed unto Assos,
  there intending to take in Paul: for so had he
  appointed, minding himself to go afoot.
  14 And when he met with us at Assos, we took him in,
  and came to Mitylene.
  15 And we sailed thence, and came the next day over
  against Chios; and the next day we arrived at Samos,
  and tarried at Trogyllium; and the next day we came
  to Miletus.
  16 For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus,
  because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he
  hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at
  Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.
  17 And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called
  the elders of the church.
  18 And when they were come to him, he said unto them,
  Ye know, from the first day that I came into Asia,
  after what manner I have been with you at all
  seasons,
  19 Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and
  with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by
  the lying in wait of the Jews:
  20 And how I kept back nothing that was profitable
  unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you
  publickly, and from house to house,
  21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the
  Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our
  Lord Jesus Christ.
  22 And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto
  Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall
  me there:
  23 Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city,
  saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.
  24 But none of these things move me, neither count I
  my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my
  course with joy, and the ministry, which I have
  received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of
  the grace of God.
  25 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I
  have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my
  face no more.
  26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am
  pure from the blood of all men.
  27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the
  counsel of God.
  28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all
  the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made
  you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he
  hath purchased with his own blood.
  29 For I know this, that after my departing shall
  grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the
  flock.
  30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking
  perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
  31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space
  of three years I ceased not to warn every one night
  and day with tears.
  32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to
  the word of his grace, which is able to build you up,
  and to give you an inheritance among all them which
  are sanctified.
  33 I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or
  apparel.
  34 Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have
  ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were
  with me.
  35 I have shewed you all things, how that so
  labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to
  remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It
  is more blessed to give than to receive.
  36 And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and
  prayed with them all.
  37 And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul's neck,
  and kissed him,
  38 Sorrowing most of all for the words which he
  spake, that they should see his face no more. And
  they accompanied him unto the ship.
