20:2  And when he had walked by those coasts, and had admonished them by many words [Soothly when he had walked by those parts, and had admonished them by much word], he came to Greece.
20:3  Where when he had been three months, the Jews laid ambush for him, that was to sail into Syria; and he had counsel to turn again by Macedonia.
20:4  And Sopater of Pyrri Berea followed him; of Thessalonians, Aristarchus, and Secundus, and Gaius Derbeus, and Timothy; and Asians, Tychicus and Trophimus.
20:5  These for they went before, abode us at Troas. [These when they went before, sustained, or abided, us at Troas.]
20:6  For we shipped after the days of therf loaves from Philippi, and came to them at Troas in five days, where we dwelt seven days.
20:7  And in the first day of the week, when we came to break bread, Paul disputed with them, and should go forth in the morrow [Paul disputed with them, he to going in the morrow]; and he drew along the sermon till into midnight.
20:8  And many lamps were in the solar, where we were gathered together.
20:9  And a young man [Soothly some young man], Eutychus by name, sat on the window, when he was fallen into an heavy sleep, while Paul disputed long, all sleeping he fell down from the third stage [Paul disputing long, he led by sleep fell down from the third stage]; and he was taken up, and was brought dead.
20:10  To whom when Paul came down, he lay on him, and embraced, and said [and embracing said], Do not ye be troubled; for his soul is in him.
20:11  And he went up, and brake bread, and ate, and spake enough unto the day [and spake enough till into the light]; and so he went forth.
20:12  And they brought the child alive, and they were comforted greatly [and they were comforted not least].
20:13  And we went up into a ship, and shipped into Assos, to take Paul from thence; for so he had assigned to make journey by land.
20:14  And when he found us in Assos, we took him, and came to Mitylene.
20:15  And from thence we shipped in the day following, and we came against Chios [And from thence shipping, in the day following we came against Chios], and another day we havened at Samos, and in the day following we came to Miletus.
20:16  And Paul purposed to ship over to Ephesus, lest any tarrying were made to him in Asia; for he hied, if it were possible to him, that he should be in the day of Pentecost at Jerusalem.
20:17  From Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the greatest men of birth of the church [and called the more men through birth, either the elder men, of the church].
20:18  And when they came to him, and were together, he said to them, Ye know from the first day, in which I came into Asia, how with you by each time I was,
20:19  serving to the Lord with all meekness, and mildness, and tears, and temptations, that felled to me of ambushings of Jews;
20:20  how I withdrew not of profitable things to you [how I withdrew nought of profitable things to you], that I told not to you, and taught you openly, and by houses;
20:21  and I witnessed to Jews and to heathen men [witnessing to Jews and heathen men] penance into God, and faith into our Lord Jesus Christ.
20:22  And now lo! I am bound in spirit, and go into Jerusalem; and I know not [unknowing] what things shall come to me in it,
20:23  but that the Holy Ghost by all cities witnesseth to me, and saith [saying], that bonds and tribulations at Jerusalem abide me.
20:24  But I dread nothing of these, neither I make my life preciouser than myself, so that I end my course [the while I end, or fulfill, my course], and the ministry of the word, which I received of the Lord Jesus, to witness the gospel of the grace of God.
20:25  And now lo! I know, that ye shall no more see my face, all ye by which I passed [all ye by whom I passed], preaching the kingdom of God.
20:26  Wherefore I witness to you this day, that I am clean of the blood of all men.
20:27  For I fled not away [For I flew not away], that I told not to you all the counsel of God.
20:28  Take ye attention to you [Take attention to you], and to all the flock, in which the Holy Ghost hath set you bishops, to rule the church of God, which he [hath] purchased with his blood.
20:29  I know, that after my departing, ravening wolves [snatching wolves] shall enter into you, not sparing the flock;
20:30  and men speaking depraved things shall rise of yourselves [and of yourselves men speaking wayward things shall rise], that they lead away disciples after them.
20:31  For which thing wake ye, holding in mind that by three years night and day I ceased not with tears admonishing each of you.
20:32  And now I betake you to God and to the word of his grace, that is mighty to edify and give heritage in all that be made holy.
20:33  And of no man I coveted silver, and gold, either cloak [or cloth],
20:34  as [ye] yourselves know; for to those things that were needful to me, and to these that be with me, these hands ministered.
20:35  All these things I showed to you, for so it behooveth men travailing to receive frail men [to receive the sick], and to have mind of the word of the Lord Jesus; for he said, It is more blessful to give, than to receive [for he said, It is more blessed to give, more than to receive].
20:36  And when he had said these things, he kneeled, and prayed with all them.
20:37  And great weeping of all men was made; and they felled on the neck of Paul, and kissed him,
20:38  and sorrowed most in the word that he said, for they shall no more see his face. And they led him to the ship.
