020:009 A certain young man named Eutychus sat in the window,
weighed down with deep sleep. As Paul spoke still longer,
being weighed down by his sleep, he fell down from the third story,
and was taken up dead.
020:010 Paul went down, and fell upon him, and embracing him said,
"Don't be troubled, for his life is in him."
020:011 When he had gone up, and had broken bread, and eaten,
and had talked with them a long while, even until break
of day, he departed.
020:012 They brought the boy in alive, and were greatly comforted.
020:013 But we who went ahead to the ship set sail for Assos,
intending to take Paul aboard there, for he had so arranged,
intending himself to go by land.
020:014 When he met us at Assos, we took him aboard, and came to Mitylene.
020:015 Sailing from there, we came the following day opposite Chios.
The next day we touched at Samos and stayed at Trogyllium,
and the day after we came to Miletus.
020:016 For Paul had determined to sail past Ephesus, that he might not
have to spend time in Asia; for he was hastening, if it were
possible for him, to be in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.
020:017 From Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called to himself the elders
of the assembly.
020:018 When they had come to him, he said to them, "You yourselves know,
from the first day that I set foot in Asia, how I was with you
all the time,
020:019 serving the Lord with all humility, with many tears,
and with trials which happened to me by the plots of the Jews;
020:020 how I didn't shrink from declaring to you anything that
was profitable, teaching you publicly and from house to house,
020:021 testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God,
and faith toward our Lord Jesus.{TR adds "Christ"}
020:022 Now, behold, I go bound by the Spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing
what will happen to me there;
020:023 except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city,
saying that bonds and afflictions wait for me.
020:024 But these things don't count; nor do I hold my life dear to myself,
so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I
received from the Lord Jesus, to fully testify to the Good News
of the grace of God.
020:025 "Now, behold, I know that you all, among whom I went about
preaching the Kingdom of God, will see my face no more.
020:026 Therefore I testify to you this day that I am clean from
the blood of all men,
020:027 for I didn't shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.
020:028 Take heed, therefore, to yourselves, and to all the flock,
