1 And after the vprore was ceased, Paul called vnto him the disciples, and imbraced them, & departed, for to go into Macedonia.

2 And when he had gone ouer those parts, and had giuen them much exhortation, he came into Greece,

3 And there abode three moneths: and when the Iewes layed waite for him, as hee was about to saile into Syria, hee purposed to returne thorow 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, taried for vs at Troas:

6 And wee sailed away from Philippi, after the dayes of vnleauened bread, and came vnto them to Troas in fiue dayes, where we abode seuen daies.

7 And vpon the first day of the weeke, when the disciples came together to breake bread, Paul preached vnto them, ready to depart on the morrow, and continued his speach vntill midnight.

8 And there were many lights in the vpper chamber where they were gathered together.

9 And there sate in a window a certaine yong man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deepe sleepe, and as Paul was long preaching, hee sunke downe with sleepe, and fel downe from the third loft, and was taken vp dead.

10 And Paul went downe, and fell on him, and embracing him, saide, Trouble not your selues, for his life is in him.

11 When hee therefore was come vp againe, & had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, euen till breake of day, so he departed.

12 And they brought the yong man aliue, and were not a little comforted.

13 ¶ And wee went before to ship, and sailed vnto Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so had hee appointed, minding himselfe to goe afoote.

14 And when he met with vs at Assos, wee tooke him in, and came to Mitylene.

15 And wee sailed thence, and came the next day ouer against Chios, and the next day we arriued at Samos, and taried at Trogyllium: and the next day we came to Miletus.

16 For Paul had determined to saile by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Hierusalem the day of Pentecost.

17 ¶ And from Miletus hee sent to Ephesus, and called the Elders of the Church.

18 And when they were come to him, he said vnto them, Ye know from the first day that I came into Asia, after what maner I haue bene with you at all seasons,

19 Seruing the Lord with all humilitie of minde, and with many teares, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Iewes:

20 And how I kept backe nothing that was profitable vnto you, but haue shewed you, and haue taught you publikely, and from house to house,

21 Testifying both to the Iewes and also to the Greekes, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Iesus Christ.

22 And now behold, I goe bound in the spirit vnto Hierusalem, not knowing the things that shal befall me there:

23 Saue that the holy Ghost witnesseth in euery city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.

24 But none of these things mooue me, neither count I my life deare vnto my self, so that I might finish my course with ioy, & the ministery which I haue receiued of the Lord Iesus, to testifie the Gospel of the grace of God.

25 And now behold, I know that ye all, among whom I haue 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 haue not shunned to declare vnto you all the counsell of God.

28 ¶ Take heed therefore vnto your selues, & to all the flocke, ouer the which the holy Ghost hath made you ouerseers, to feed the Church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grieuous wolues enter in among you, not sparing the flocke.

30 Also of your owne selues shal men arise, speaking peruerse things, to draw away disciples after them.

31 Therefore watch, and remember that by the space of three yeeres, I ceased not to warne euery one night and day with teares.

32 And now brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you vp, and to giue you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.

33 I haue coueted no mans siluer, or golde, or apparell.

34 Yea, you your selues know, that these handes haue ministred vnto my necessities, and to them that were with me.

35 I haue shewed you all things, how that so labouring, yee ought to support the weake, and to remember the words of the Lord Iesus, how he said, It is more blessed to giue, then to receiue.

36 ¶ And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled downe, & prayed with them all.

37 And they all wept sore, and fell on Pauls necke, 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 vnto the ship.

Connie Moore's Acts Chapter 20 comment about verse 24 on 6/03/2013, 10:05pm...

Why is the part "with joy" omitted from many of the translations? Could it be that we have a difficult time associating suffering and self-denial with having joy? Maybe Paul wanted to convey that he did not count his life in the world as important because he wanted to be able to be a cheerful giver of himself to the Lord.

 


Jackie's Acts Chapter 20 comment about verse 7 on 3/08/2013, 4:30pm...

Nowhere in the four gospels does it state that Jesus rose from the dead on the "first day of the week". All gospels leave no doubt as to the time and day of the discovery of our Savior's empty tomb. Also there are no instructions or examples, in GOD'S word, of Christians celebrating the discovery of HIS empty tomb on Sun day morning. GOD Bless.

 


Timothy Wayne George's Acts Chapter 20 comment on 2/01/2013, 11:44am...

We have to thank the Apostle Paul for his faithfulness to the ministry, and how he could say that I am free from the blood of all men. Paul could say that because he did not hesitate to preach the whole council of God. Today ministers are caught up in the struggle to be politically correct, but the most important thing is to make sure that we are preaching the whole council of God. Just as the Holy Spirit testified to Paul that bonds, and afflictions awaits me in every city, we must finish the race that God has given to us. Being sure not to covet any silver, gold, or apparel of any man, rather we can work with our hands so that we can give to those who have needs. By doing this we become a model to the flock of God how that it is more blessed to give, than to receive. May the Lord bless all of those who are working in His vineyard, and whatever is right God will pay.

 


Jason's Acts Chapter 20 comment about verse 32 on 1/25/2013, 5:23am...

I now commend you to the Lord our God, Jesus Christ His Grace, who is able to build us all up and also give us inheritance, if we continue grounded in FAITH of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

 


Cheri carpenter's Acts Chapter 20 comment on 11/08/2012, 11:34pm...

I really don’t know what to say, I feel like I have not myself have done anything for the lord. When I read about Paul and all the others, how much they loved one another it made me cry. When Paul did not care for himself, but wanted to do God's work I say to myself I want to do more. I read how little Paul and other had; but could not wait to get to the next town. I think now I will have a hard time feeling sorry for myself. I [will] stop and thank God for what I do have. God bless all of you.

 


Jackie's Acts Chapter 20 comment about verse 7 on 11/07/2012, 1:30pm...

Hi, The Romans changed the measurement of a day to be from midnight till midnight. GOD'S "first day of the week" is from sunset Saturday evening till sunset Sunday evening. Therefore this meeting could only have been on Saturday evening and then Paul left Troas on Sunday morning. Paul did not rest, worship, keep holy, or celebrate the discovery of our Savior's empty tomb on the Roman Sun day morning or the Sun day evening. This was a onetime meeting that took place over 25 years after our Savior's crucifixion. See Havdalah, The "first day of the week" always reads "One of Sabbaths" in the original Greek. GOD Bless, Jackie.

 


Susan Dalton's Acts Chapter 20 comment on 4/22/2012, 4:41pm...

I have shown 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.(Acts 20:35) Also, I Thessalonians 5:14.

My son was talking to me about one of his video games. He said the outcome for the character you choose depends upon how much support you give that character. Depending upon how much support you can build up and give to that particular character, directly affects the outcome for that character in the game.

We are commanded to support the weak. We can directly affect the life of people by how much support we give them.

Jesus came to support the weak. He has directly affected our lives. By His support, we are made strong. By His support, we live. By His support, the broken are made whole, the lame walk, the blind see, the poor have the gospel preached unto them.

We can directly affect the lives of people by the support we give.
